'The Little Mermaid' Is On Disney+! How To Watch If You Don't Have ...

Now you can have “The Little Mermaid” be part of your world.

The live-action version of the 1989 animated Disney classic is available to stream on multiple platforms, most recently Disney+. “The Little Mermaid” follows Halle Bailey as Ariel, the mermaid who dreams of becoming human.  Jonah Hauer-King co-stars as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy is Ursula and Javier Bardem portrays King Triton. Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina and Jacob Tremblay also co-star.

Bailey previously spoke about what it meant for her to portray the Disney princess despite facing backlash over the casting.

“I know what it would have meant to me as a little girl to have been able to see a Black Ariel when I was younger,” she said during a September Q&A session on her YouTube channel. “If I would have seen that, it would have changed my whole outlook on life.”

On its opening day, May 26, 2023, the film swam to the No. 1 spot at the box office with $38 million, per Variety. It would go on to make $569,487,599 worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
