10 Memes About 'The Little Mermaid' And Its Live-Action Remake

So, there's going to be a live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. We've known about this upcoming movie for a while, but a teaser was released only recently, which has reignited an interest in the movie. Not all of the interest is positive, however, especially since most of the reactions to the film so far have targeted lead actress Halle Bailey, who is black, for playing Ariel.

Lots of people are deeply offended by this, but there's no reason Ariel shouldn't be black. There's no historical accuracy to live up to here. Ariel is a fish person. Mermaids do not actually exist. This remake doesn't have to follow the original so strictly. It probably will be pretty similar to the original, though, since live-action Disney movies are all pretty much the same, which is pretty much the only valid criticism of the movie so far. But that hasn't stopped people from tweeting and making some memorable memes about other aspects of the film. Here are some of our favorites.
