The Little Mermaid is the latest in the series of Disney remakes that attempt to bring the original stories into the real world whilst at the same time making them more politically and socially acceptable.
Unfortunately this "Under The Sea" remake was released the year after Avatar: Way Of Water, so as far as water simulations, fluid dynamics, and specular and diffuse reflections were concerned it was always going pale by comparison.

However, that is not to say it didn't have some impressive visual effects.
Framestore, MPC, Rodeo FX, Union VFX, and Vitality VFX all worked together on this film with Secret Lab helping with cosmetic and clean-up work.
One of Framestore's first challenges was building the wide variety of 3D coral that was required.
This started with concept designs and a number of 3D scans along with reference photography.
From this reference it became clear that modeling and sculpting such complex shapes by hand was not going to be the most efficient or adaptable method to build the coral and they needed a more automated way to generate a large volume of different coral species so they developed a number of tools to generate the coral procedurally.
These coral generation tools enabled the artists to modify coral shapes efficiently and with a high level of control.
Framestores animators had the challenge of translating the original 2D characters Sebastian, Scuttle and flounder into photoreal 3D characters.
Sebastian was particularly difficult because in the original 1989 animated film they brought life to the character using exaggerated, humanised expressions.
But a real crab is so minimal that it was hard to emulate that same emotional character with just a set of eyes and a hard shell body.
Scuttle was slightly more straightforward. The animation team collaborated closely with Walt Disney Studios to establish the final look for Scuttle, creating a feather system within Framestore’s groom tool, Fibre.
While earlier renditions retained the cartoonish aspect from the original animation, the final version settled on a much more realistic look, and (just as it did with Sebastian) this made emulating the same wacky character from the original film especially difficult.
These assets were shared between all the VFX vendors including Rodeo FX
Rodeo had to animate them to remain as faithful as possible to real animals whilst expressing the wide range of emotions given in the performance of the voice actor behind them.
This required complex and delicate rigs and in-shot animations to carefully render the screen time of each character. Different approaches were developed to express emotions through pincers, extra legs or wings.
The CG characters also had to be anchored in their environment, be that by adding CG dust on land, or clever framing, or adding shadows and reflections, or CG bubbles.
Rodeo also had to deal with another challenge altogether: water effects.
Some scenes required a full CG environment, working with practical boat and creating the sea surrounding them, and other sequences had them add CG ships and more texture and movement to the water.
The scenes involving Ariel were largely filmed with Bailey in a variety of rigs against bluescreen, with the idea that everything else about the character was computer-generated only her live-action head and arms would be retained in the final shots. And of course, for some shots she was a full CG digital double.
But before they could get to the bluescreen filming portions of the photography, they first had to go through months of methodical pre-planning, pre-visualization and an extremely extensive choreography process.
Choreographers Joey Pizzi and Tara Nicole Hughes created the movements for the sea creatures.
They started by watching documentaries like "Blue Planet" and literally auditioning particular types of sea creatures whose bodies naturally lent themselves to dance.

The last 60 seconds of this video is gold. Disney has lost its way-its soul.
Didn't think a side would be taken and then boom the hammer dropped...and I got excited
I was just thinking the same thing!
Stupid comment.
😢You're right on point. Disney is too busy with political correctness that their movies suck
@richardkm5355 You people have too much time on your hands. It was a great movie.
Well said the wokeness being rammed down our throats in these new films is ridiculous
Such a lot of work went into that film! I hope the VFX artists were paid what they deserved.
agreed only thing good about this remake 😊
@@only257Remake was wonderful. You people. 🙄
Tips and tricks. My respects!
I'm baffled at all the resources that get unanimously wasted
I completely agree: everything is now aimed at not offending anyone and so it seems to be unreal and dull
Only for people like you. 🙄
@@thomasenawilliams8562 i think its a general truth that they seem unreal and dull what u mean people like her?
@@GODHATESVANDAL Whatever. 🙄
@@chewbacca7951 Stupid comment. 😑
❤❤❤❤❤🎉 amazing work..❤❤
I grew up with Disney, loved the characters. The sole purpose of Disney was to leave you in awe. Let kids be kids. After seeing a video of Cinderella with a mustache and beard in the Disney parade disney died imo. My 6yo is not exposed to any products Disney produces and their subliminal messages. Really sad, an rnd to a era.
Maybe with all this technology they could do something new instead of remakes. :P
とても良かったよ、CGと歌はね。
❤👍
Always consider how you can enhance the value of your content for your audience.
Such a BIG hole to pour all that money into.
Its a fantasy world. Why make it real?
Blue screen
I don'tbthink the big problem is being woke, but that they have to make it so tokenized and show just how pc they are. As in, some characters don't really matter if they were black or gay if their skin color or etnicity had NO purpose what so ever to the story. But emphathizing how nice they are makes it obviously disengenuous. Ariel could have been black for all i care since she's supposed to be a fictional creature in the caribbean, the issue for me is how they just could have not hammered it home with how they are having black singers do the same long note that other famous black wingers are known for to do just to say "look gais we're doing it too!". Also, i hate these live actiom versions of the movies. They do not translate well at all, with the way they go about them, while you see video game movies who are shown to have such a diverse cast and they don't make it a big deal, not even when it's voice actors. There's a few among the cast that are black? Thats great! Just let them do what they have to do, don't make yourself look so desperate that makes them look like token points
I’m sorry Mr.Green you’re late at halloween for analyzing scary movie
???
All of that effort to choreograph the various numbers was totally lost in the final product. The 'under the sea' number came across very bland
La petite sirène qui est noire 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Way to be racist kid. Get a life! 🫶🏻🫶🏾
And???
What colour is she supposed to be?🤔
Et ?
I was disappointed in this movie, didn't see Bikini Bottom
Gee, I wonder why. 🙄
