Finally saw the live action plus CG "Little Mermaid" #movie.
I know racists gonna racist, but literally arguing over the skin tone of an imaginary being is just some sort of next level stupid.
The actress was charming, beautiful, and could sing. It's a kid's movie. It was visually stunning.
As a movie, it was fine. I don't think it added much, story wise, to the original animated one. Kind of like the live action "Lion King."
But representation matters. Kids seeing actors who look like them matters.
So, as a cis-het white male, I'm here for it.
