Agreed. The problem with the Little Mermaid remake wasn’t that Ariel was black. It is that it was a bad movie. They remade a movie that didnt need to be remade in order to cash in on people’s nostalgia.
It isn’t as if they remade the movie as-is but made Ariel white that it would have been a blockbuster
So true! They did make a live action Beauty and the Beast featuring white actors and we fucking hated it! We also hated the live action Lion King movie, and all the main characters were blondes in that film!
That said, the live action Cinderella ended up accidentally being quite good.

the issues was the live action wasn’t screen accurate to the animation
It sucked ass. When I realized I was looking at my phone during “under the sea” because it was so boring, I knew it was all downhill from there.
