Halle is a fine casting for Ariel


also makes sense to go for this authentic caribbean character approach for Little Mermaid, tbh one of the songs Under the Sea already gave me a tropical vibe

Javier Bardem plays Ariel's father King Triton btw, Melissa McCarthy is a good casting for Ursula, that lady literally oozes comedy
