The two special posters, which were released on the 19th, draw attention as they vividly depict various aspects of 'Ariel'. First, a poster that dynamically expresses the image of 'Ariel' swimming on the surface of the water catches the eye. In contrast to 'Ariel' moving toward freedom, the tentacle legs of the sea witch 'Ursula' wriggling in the dark sea hint at the crisis that will come to 'Ariel', raising expectations for the adventure that 'Ariel' will unfold.
'The Little Mermaid' picked Black singer and actress Halle Bailey for the role of the Little Mermaid, and some criticized it as 'blackwashing' and 'PCism'.
'The Little Mermaid' depicts the adventure of 'Ariel', an adventurous mermaid who always dreamed of a world beyond the sea, rescuing 'Prince Eric' in distress and following the sound of her heart to the forbidden human world. Opening on the 24th.
