The selection of Halle Bailey as Ariel in the new version of The little Mermaid, sent a loud and clear message: in the live action of this Disney classic things are going to be different. But those who believed that the only change would be the skin color of the protagonist were very wrong. The thing will be much deeper, because there will be a message of empowerment that the original film did not have.

In an interview for Edition, Halle Bailey said she was very excited because in this version the perspective that she wants to leave the ocean alone for a boy was changed. In her words, “this story is about herself, her purpose, her freedom, her life and what she wants.”
As women, we’re awesome, we’re independent, we’re hip, we’re everything and more, and I’m glad Disney is updating some of those themes.
In this new version, Ariel doesn’t just leave her life behind under the sea because she’s in love. In the ballad that will appear in the film Part Of Your Worldit shows that the Little Mermaid wants to live on the surface since long before she met Eric.
