There are loads of things we can all disagree on, especially when it comes to something as precious as a childhood memory. That being said, It makes sense that Disney's latest casting choice sparked quite a controversy by choosing Halle Bailey to play Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" live-action movie remake. Some were convinced something's really fishy and took the scientific approach to explain why the casting is wrong to portray this Disney character, others were really excited about the first black mermaid. So were these people, who took the Internet by storm and flooded it with fan art dedicated to the famous character, supporting the new cast. Scroll down to check these cool drawings and get hyped for the new Disney movie remake.

This is my favorite so far. There is so much light and sweetness in this illustration.
Hey Just Curious, see that pink coral in the background on the left? It has a special message, just for you.

I understand the want to integrate all races into the fairy tales. However, most fairy tales (think The brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll, etc.) were all European - thus the characters tend to be white. I have no actual issues with an African Ariel, or heck, even a mixed-race one. It's not what I grew up with, but that's just my two-cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Grimm, Hans, and many more collected works from all over the world actually. Many of the tales they collected are actually very old Chinese stories. Cinderella I believe was originally from Asia. We have to remember that just because a European collected the stories and translated them does not make them theirs. Each of those tales have origins from all over the world.

Seeing as though we only have ONE black princess and ONE Asian one, and both of their ethnicities are integral to the story...NO.

Don't care, it's an unneeded live action remake of good animation and thus not worth my money whatever the cast is.
