Poor Aryan supremacist, the days of snow white and such r over. Its fiction 4 fucks sake!
this is not a black movie its ok that withe people watch the movie too
She’s such a beautiful #Ariel for sure!! I’m excited to view this movie for sure!! ♥️
❤❤❤
I dont even like Disney movies because im old. But im buying 10 tickets for random people to see this just to boost numbers at my local cinema. It might not count but im supporting this to fight racism.
SO Excited. Going opening weekend. Who else?
Love Halle! ❤
First our legendary icon Brandy now our gorgeous beautiful Halle😭 Halle is a gift from God, she is LITERALLY Ariel born into reality and let God keep on blessing her🥰🌹💕
I can’t think of anything more repulsive than American media.
The level of hypocrisy and complete lack of integrity is revolting.
THEY are the ones making everything about race, dividing people, creating tension for money. AWFUL!!!
Every single interview is about her race and nothing about the actual picture. The journalists are like sheep to the ratings and misjudging the controversy and they know it well.
Most people love Halle and it has nothing to do with that.
The Little Mermaid is DANISH!!!!
She was born in the mind of Hans Christian Andersen who is from Denmark!!!! Her statue is in Copenhagen. She is not black.
Why don’t we make movies about slaves in cotton fields and start telling every new generation that slaves were white and blond.
Why don’t we make a biopic about Louis Armstrong featuring a white actor and why don’t we tell kids that Africa is mainly a white continent?
Why don’t we make a film about Queen Elizabeth and start telling kids she was black. Wait they did that. Have people lost their minds?
If there was a hair of sincerity in trying to bring racial equity anywhere near any kind of balance and a true desire to fight white supremacy these execs and journalists and creatives would dig into the many many many untold stories of REAL BLACK role models, real black kings and queens and African folk tales and so on and so forth instead of this beyond pathetic cover up for more racism.
If these shitheads really wanted kids to see themselves in movies and recognize themselves and relate, feel like they belong, why not find the real stories instead of telling white stories covered up in braids and accent. What a miserable thing to witness.
Why do people think Aruel white she is was an slander color tone on the garden adults are crazy😂
Can't wait! Love you Halle!
😍😍😍
So are you saying Disney twisted your arm to show this film even though you and other stations always prep films and have stars on. So there was no need to mention that Disney owns your channel like they were twisting your arm. This foolishness is just crazy
Remakes have a good habit of failing.
she is everything
Give fans options….too bad we'll never get the real Ariel…
humans should see themselves in humans not mermaids, leave the classics alone…
How rediculous.
A Human of the sea, would look like a silvery fish & not have a mole on it's head, or Human teeth.
I am on pins and needles waiting for this movie. She is such an amazing artist who can bring ing correctly. She will honor Jodie Benson’s legacy with her beautiful singing.😊
A woman who fools the world with her lip-syncing is no Little Mermaid; the reason I'm against her is not racism, it's because she has a very bad personality, she's dogmatic and selfish.
We love her
She's amazing!!
Halley is amazing beautiful talented she can sing I mean and she's such a sweetheart the only problem I have is her boyfriend ddg because little girls are looking up to Holly right now is Ariel and they're also going to find out who her boyfriend is he is a ghetto rapper a YouTuber he is to me he's beneath her that's all I got to say
