With Halle Bailey starring as the titular mermaid named Ariel, the live-action rebirth of Disney's The Little Mermaid brings her story to life for the new generation of movie-goers as they're going under the sea to uncover her origins.

As the youngest of King Triton's daughters, Ariel wants to experience life beyond the sea, and ever since her fateful encounter with a human named Eric, she made a deal with an evil sea witch named Ursula, granting her wish to live outside the sea, but all that wish came with a terrifying price.

Ever since Disney announced that Halle Bailey will be casting the role of Ariel in the live-action adaptation of a Disney classic, purists are unhappy about it, but when this movie came to life, some changed their minds and decided to watch it anyway to the fullest. 

Anyway, like past Disney Princess movies came to life, it stays faithful to the original, although some are having questions about Flounder and Sebastian's appearances in the movie. With stunning visuals, a heart-pounding soundtrack, emotional storytelling, and memorable musical scenes, the live-action version of The Little Mermaid really is a must-watch for the whole family before the beginning of the summer season. Guess summer came early with the arrival of this latest rebirth of a Disney classic.

Although controversial by some, it's one of the best family movies of the year.
