    If we’re comparing The Little Mermaid to other live actions, it did poorly. If we’re comparing it to the films of 2023, as of September, it’s still in the top 10 grossing films. Most movies have had the worst flops this year. Also, When people try to point the finger at the Little Mermaid as if it was some huge fail, they never seem to take into account that Spring/Summer of 2023 was an obnoxious influx of blockbusters and The Little Mermaid was up against some heavy hitters. Each new week there would be sometimes 2 highly anticipated releases in the same weekend. live action fatigue, racism, streaming, post covid cinema culture (people are not going to the movies as much anymore), and what it was up against, the little mermaid actually did pretty well.

    First, I agree with everything said here, and amazing work on the reconstructed trailer! Although, I would've swapped the end clip with her eating the flower with Jodi presenting the dinglehopper. Also I find it ironic how the shots where her hair looks brown are in the Under the Sea scene, where her hair was entirely CGI anyway.

    • @TommyRoss
      @TommyRoss  Рік тому +8

      Thanks a bunch! I I kinda feel like the Jodi cameo should be saved for the movie ;) And yeah the Under the Sea sequence is the main culprit for the brownish hair, which is also strange because that's obviously a key moment that is gonna be heavily marketed.

    Halle did a brilliant job as Ariel but they set her up so badly it's actually sad. If you gonna cast a black woman to play an iconic white character you need to support her the most in all departments so she gets the less scrutinity. First of all the red hair not being red for a big amount of the movie, then her outfits being very bland & limited & third knowing that her casting was gonna hurt box office a lot they should have brought more star power on the rest of the cast to balance it. Rihanna as Queen Athena is PERFECT casting & could have made the movie gross 100-200M more.

      Thank you! It may seem like it shows a lot, but I think that's because I deliberately leaned into footage that we didn't see in the marketing -- however, I excluded several big moments that were in the official trailer (the shipwreck, Ariel on the beach with Eric after shipwreck, Ariel on fisherman's boat after being turned human, etc.)

  • @XxCharmemexX

    Here's how I think Disney should fix this :
    Make a sequel but make it kind of a reboot. Retell the story from the point of view of a character who deserved more development : Ursula. It would be titled The Little Mermaid : A Tale Of The Sea Witch
    Hear me out :
    Ursula narrates the story in this version and she tells her story and what led her to do what she does in the movie. It could start with a flashback of her youth when Triton and her were living in the palace before she got banned. Then it goes back to the present and we get the Fathoms Below sequence just like in the original movie, so that it makes it clear that this is a musical film. The same things happen, the sailors sing, a fish or an object falls into the ocean and we get the same opening sequence as in the first live action movie with the same score but this time more magical and with a more fantastical and shiny Atlantica. We get the concert scene and the Daughters Of Triton song, which they were performing to celebrate the Coral Moon (and we get an actual explanation of what it is). Everything else goes pretty much the same way as in the original movie except that the designs are much more magical, much more colorful, there's more costumes (ESPECIALLY FOR ARIEL) and the song sequences are reshot (because the characters have slightly different looks). As the movie progresses, we see more and more flashbacks of Ursula's youth until the climax of the film where we get the whole picture and we finally understand why she became who she is.
    The sisters are much more present and they sing Under The Sea with Sebastian (makes more sense if it's them singing it rather than Ariel) and they actually come to Ariel's rescue towards the end of the movie. Ariel's stay on land lasts seven days rather than three because more things can happen and we can see more costumes (because Halle DESERVES to have ALL of the original Ariel's costumes, her gorgeous puffy-gown-Disney-Princess moments and MORE and it would also give Ursula a good reason to erase Ariel's memory). NO SCUTTLEBUTT. Instead, we either get a duet between Ariel and Eric or Ariel and Vanessa (similar to the song This Day Aria from My Little Pony and both parts would be sang by Halle of course since Vanessa uses Ariel's voice). We get a dinner scene where Halle / Ariel gets a gorgeous pink gown and a ball scene where she gets a gorgeous teal gown. And we actually get not two transformation scenes for Ariel, but THREE.
    Ariel doesn't leave the ocean forever at the end. Instead, King Triton gives her an item (a necklace) that allows her to take on her mermaid form or her human form whenever she pleases. The second transformation scene would be the one where Ariel sees Eric for the first time after the final battle against Ursula and she's wearing the torn blue dress. They have a conversation where Ariel explains everything to Eric. Then some time passes and we see Ariel in her mermaid form again. She's getting ready to go explore the world with Eric and is saying goodbye to her family and friends. And that's when we get the third and final transformation scene :
    As Ariel unleashes the magic from her necklace, her sisters swirl around her as she is elevated at the surface where Eric is waiting on a gorgeous ship. She gets back to her human form dressed in a gorgeous sparkly dress and runs into Eric's arms. They share a kiss and Eric's family and friends are on the shore to celebrate their departure. Ariel says a final goodbye to her family and we get a final shot of the merfolk and the humans at the surface. The ship sails, King Triton creates a rainbow and the final shot of the movie is Ariel and Eric sharing a kiss. Ursula says a final line. Credits roll. BUT. We get a post-credit scene where it's implied that Ursula is not dead or that her sister Morgana wants to avenge her! And I think that an ending like THIS would be much better because with Ariel and Eric leaving to explore the world together, Ariel being able to turn into a mermaid or a human whenever she pleases, elements from Ursula and Triton's past having been revealed and Ursula possibly not being dead, it leaves the room for SO MANY things to happen! And with a retelling from Ursula's perspective, not only would we finally get to know more about her but it would also allow for a reboot that makes it seem like the first live action wasn't the total truth not just story-wise but also visually!
    EDIT : In order to make this retelling stand apart even more from the animated movie, they should reuse some of the ideas that got scrapped for it. There's an old script for the animated movie in which Ariel actually writes a letter to Eric to tell him the truth while she's voiceless but her plan fails because Vanessa shows up. Eric finds the letter right before the climax of the movie. I believe they should have used this or something similar for Halle's Ariel! Like for instance, her writing a letter to Eric and managing to give it to him... Except that he can't understand it because it's written in Atlantican runes, which Ariel thought humans could understand since mermaids can understand and speak many human languages. And then after that she tries to tell him the truth in many different ways! This would have been so cute and could have added some comical elements into the movie and the scene where Ariel gets her voice back and says "Oh, Eric! I tried to tell you!" would have been so much more impactful! They should really normalize the concept of reusing old ideas in their live action remakes!

    I think also hiding the Jodi Benson cameo was a crime. They should have had the passing of the dinglehopper in the trailer! It would have been awesome to also get Jodi with Halle in a promo spot or some kind of special interview with them both. I think for some having the original Ariel support the new film meant a lot to them.
    @7:15 Also I agree with your point. They always chose still images of Halle mid expression as if she wasn't ready for the photo. I bought the movie's soundtrack and there's stills on the album art of Halle mid expression. There's one with her eyes half opened... Like what were they thinking?!

    I really liked the trailer you made! Perhaps they were trying to save a lot of the cool and vibrant shots for the movie/for no spoilers but I think you're right. If they would have shown more of those scenes, the movie would have appeared to be more appealing and beautiful and gotten audiences more excited to see it. Oh and FUNNY!!! I love the humor you put at the end of your trailer with Ariel eating the flower. ICONIC!!! I was also surprised that they only had one full length official trailer for this movie.Besides the teasers, most films have 1 to 3 three official trailers for a movie, The Little Mermaid didn't. Different trailers give the opportunity to showcase different vibes, art, and scenes from the film, they just didn't this time. Get the element of surprise and not wanting to give away the entire movie in a trailer, but GIVE US SOMETHING PLEASEEE. I totally agree with your video. Excellent job 👏🏽

    Watching your videos makes me actually very sad because I realize how much potential there was. I mean, your trailer looks so much better yet you're only one person and the marketing team couldn't do it with many people. The real trailer was so boring, I don't really remember it but I do remember the Beauty And The Beast trailer from years ago. It's a shame they didn't put the effort in this Little Mermaid movie which they could have. I feel so bad for Halle because she really carried the movie, she was so good and deserved a movie with more life.
    Also while watching the movie I thought there were way too many close-ups. Like the camera were directly on their faces so often. I really wanted to see a wide shot of the market for example before they film the characters so closely.

  • @freshtheeprince
    @freshtheeprince Рік тому +5

    i do like your version of the trailer, however its showing too much. if I watched this trailer, nothing in the film would've surprised me because its all shown in the trailer. i.e the full image of ursala, disney giving prince eric a grotto that resembles ariel's, ariels blue dress,the best shot in the whole under the sea sequence and even ariel confronting vanessa. what I think disney was going for was intentionally making it dim in the trailer and then surprising the audience with all the colour in the film so it would be "better than they expected". thereby giving positive reviews for the film but them solely relying on nostalgia for people to see the film would not work if ariel was not white with red hair.i personally like the trailers they gave us but wish they did more for the marketing and the CGI; such as making ariels hair more orange.

      This is what i was thinking, though his trailer is done well; visually colourful and nostalgic in a sense, too much would be shown and there would really be nothing to uncover anymore. One of the reasons i liked the original trailer was that it had me grasping for more, to see and what would happen (even though some things didn't happen). I do like how he showed Halle a lot more though.

    • @TaritaLavern
      @TaritaLavern Рік тому +2

      I disagree about the changes. I think live action should be used to flesh out the storylines limited in animation. I thought Cinderella as well as The Little Mermaid captured it well. Especially as it keeps to the original but allows the characters to move and connect in a human way. Just my thoughts. But not every Disney animation should live action I agree to that point.

I was actually considering the same, and this was the biggest flaw with the movie promotion that many people had no idea how good the movie actually would be as somehow they kept too much back and threw only random scenes in the trailer. The Cinderella remake did almost entirely give away too much the movie in the trailer, but this at least brought people into cinema. I absolutely like the opening of your trailer, but perhaps there could be also the scene in which Eric mentions The Little Mermaid in the study been used in the beginning...that would have been my preference...

    2 give the visuals that WOW factor that cinderella had

    If you write Zootopia 3, Zootopia 4 and Zootopia 5, will Nick Wilde have a red vixen girlfriend and Judy Hopps have a rabbit boyfriend and introduce amphibians, birds, primates and house pets? I always wanted to be a geeky aardvark photographer from the Zootopia Times who's a fan of science fiction and a cartoonist and best friends with an American Black Bear as a roommate and a science fiction fan and a writer. An aardvark character who is not afraid of predators or other animals, only heights and large criminals and hates all the bigotry and hates against all the mammal predators or other animals and he and a bear always get themselves, picked on by Nick's childhood bullies for trusting and befriending each other and he gets into fights with them. An aardvark and a black bear always get insulted by other animals from Zootopia and treat them like losers, so they avoid what other animals say to them and trust who they are. They would also discover the truth about the villains' true colors.

I also love how you're like saying Tommy is justified to hate on them but like all they did was say they didn't like the movie and thought it was bad and its woke. Thats all, they are sharing their opinion and you're saying that Tommy Ross is allowed to label them rude names because of that.

    I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, which was a pleasant surprise. I was not expecting to based on the trailers. It’s definitely my favorite Disney live action but everything you stated was accurate. Marketing was abysmal. Halles hair and costume design was lackluster and inconsistent. A good portion of the general audience wasn’t going to see the movie no matter what because of fatigue, racism and general disdain. If Halle wasn’t the lead I probably would’ve waited until streaming to watch myself.

While a Baz Luhrmann aesthetic would fit Princess and the Frog! They'd better film in New Orleans and the Venice/Italian Riviera for Tangled!

    The difference between the trailer they put out and the one you made is like night and day. Theirs was just very general, pretty much what you'd expect from the movie. But I find yours to be a lot more captivating of Ariel as a character in general, it made me feel more emotionally invested in her, and the relationship she has with Eric, and why she listened to Ursula. I think their trailer also just showed off the bad parts of the movie, like Halle and the guy who plays Triton's acting were both not that great in their scenes. However, seeing it in this light showed off her perspective a lot better, showing the fun they have on land and with us seeing her save Eric, that shot was also just gorgeous. The one they picked of her just swimming up didn't showcase their chemistry as much. They need to take advantage of the pretty shots, and the chemistry...that will pull us into the story

Really, it would have been a lot more EXCITING seeing a trailer like this than what Disney actually put out, which is really sad, and shows the importance of a trailer. And also the creative direction of the film, because they just released a song cut from the film, "Impossible Child", which I've seen some fans give great ideas about how it could have fit into the film in an epic way. Honestly, Disney producers don't seem to know very well what to do recently, I hope that changes.

    I love your take on the Little Mermaid 2023 as I hear very lil people talk as level headed as u do about this film. I def agree that Halle is the best choice 4 this role n one of Disney's best live action casting choices, but they def didn't support her enough. Halle deserved a more sweeping, glittering, fantastical film. The 3rd act was rushed n hollow, Triton suddenly dying from eel shock was ridiculous, disappointed that there was no transformation/sparkle dress scene, the engagement fight was underwhelming, n giant Ursula was too obscured in darkness to really see. I understand that the cgi on her was bad so they hid her in darkness as much as they could but they could've given giant Ursula bright scary glowing eyes, at least. I've always been a fan of ginger hair over blood red hair, but Disney def dropped the ball by not making Halle's hair red enough as that's what's makes Ariel instantly recognizable. Why does Disney keep mismanaging wt r supposed to b easy wins wit live action retellings of their most profitable intellectual properties? 😤

  • @CBAmbitio

    In my opinion, I think the film released way too soon. There are moments in this film where the CGI looks good and then other moments where it doesn’t even look like it’s finished. Overall, it looks very rushed. I wish they’d taken at the least, another year to get it right but I think due to both the hype and the unwarranted backlash that this film received, they were too scared to push the release date back which sucks because I think do this film had the potential to be a stunning masterpiece had they taken longer to work on it.

    Yes! Ioved your trailer. I have to agree that Disney drop the ball on TLM marketing. The teaser trailer was very dark and seemed purposefully mysterious, which left room for the troll to validate anything they thought the movie was about. Which was disappointing. It certainly deserved more at the B.O. Your trailer did highlight some of the best features in the movie. I mean slideling Prince Eric and Ursula was huge mistake especially after fleshing him out. MM was a great surprise as well and needed to be showcase. It was almost like he (RM) and Disney said you know the story. So, didn't show it only to let the internet say anything about the movie. I saw in theaters twice. So it nice seeing ppl like it on Disney+. Good points.

    I still haven't seen the movie because of, as you said, Disney live action fatigue and the fact, that I don't think they have a reason to exist because they normally, in my opinion, bring nothing (substantially) new to the table and suck all the magic out of their cartoon counterparts that I love to death. Then I saw the first teaser of The little mermaid and I was quite intrigued seeing her because I think that this made it more interesting and that they are willing to try something new. I was still sceptical because of my disappointment with the previous ones, but I still was interested. Then the first real trailer dropped and I lost interest. Now I saw your trailer and I think I will give the movie a chance now.
    Your trailer really showcases what good of a job she did as Ariel! I think the complainers of her being black that are not racist but simply don't like change would have given her a chance after seeing this. The official material did just not provide this chance for her to convince the people (the racists not considered because they are a lost cause anyway). I kind of think that the did the marketing on purpose like this to have conversations about the movie (bad publicity is good publicity) and they shot themselves in the foot with it.
    I do agree that they did her dirty (and I only saw the scenes of her of your trailer and I can already see her talent) and I hope that she will have the career she deserves in the future and that this will not harm her career in anyway.
    Also, as a fellow redhead, I do agree that they should have emphasised her red hair more. This should have convinced more nay-sayers as well (again, those who aren't because of racism)

    I think the trailer you created but it gives the entire movie, which I am not a fan of, trailers should be snippets of what you will get from the movie and what it's about. Not a mini movie, you should not feel like you know the whole movie from watching a trailer. Which has been my problem with a lot of trailers lately they give to much away. Though I agree what you did looks a lot better really getting to see the characters, the life of the film, and Halle's talent putting doubt to rest.
    When ever I hear people talking about bad CGI I never know where they are talking about beucwas the main one I hear is the mermaids move weird which makes not sense because overtime I see this movie I see nothing wrong with them. except maybe the other mermaids tales being WAY to long, which in turn make Ariels tails look weird in comparison. Though I chock that up to her being the youngest and Halle being 5'2.
