Along with Beauty and the Beast, another Disney classic is in the process of becoming a live-action movie, this time it’s The Little Mermaid and well … fans are not too happy with its first trailer.

Unfortunately, the film is not following the 1989 animated classic but rather the 1837 Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale #What

The plot:  A young girl who meets an enchanting woman that she truly believes is the little mermaid herself.  Her older brother Cam, a reporter, is sent on a mission to Mississippi to find this “so-called mermaid’ (played by Poppy Drayton)

Instead of swimming in the ocean, the mermaid is seen swimming in a circus tank (and no, there’s no washed up shore in this film).

 

 

The mermaid is a brunette NOT a redhead like the original (how can the little mermaid NOT have red hair???).

As for the rest, we’ll just have to wait to find out.

The Little Mermaid will be released later this year.
