expensiveho Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 It's not a competition lol. Everyone trying to out-woke eachother. Halle Bailley is really talented. There's no reason for Ariel not to be black. Disney tries to appeal to the widest demographic, hence why they're putting diversity in the front. That's it. - This kinda turned into a meme in Latin America (mostly semi-controversial but not really rejecting it) so there's huge awareness already.

ban1o Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) lol the kid from Shazam apparently auditioned for the role of Prince Eric Edited July 20, 2019 by ban1o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ororo Munroe Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I liked him in Shazam but he's 16 and looks it. Can't imagine a Prince Eric who is and looks younger than Ariel, lol. I thought this was a pretty accurate take from the actor who voiced Eric, Christopher Daniel Barnes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ororo Munroe Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I imagine Disney will wait until D23 to officially announce the rest of the cast. Maybe they will show up as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 For the one who is still upset about Halle as Ariel. She was cast because of her voice that reminds me of Ariel and her natural personality that also reminds me about Ariel not because of her Looks. 😗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedijake Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Could a cast announcement at D23 mean filming could start in the fall or early winter? Could that mean they land a Memorial Day 2021 release date? This is the only one I know of after Mulan where they are this far. (besides maybe Lady & The Tramp which is slated for D+ and would fail on the big screen anyway). Lilo & Stitch has been swirling but there are no definitive announcements. TLM is it after Mulan.

Usually when the cast is filling up like this it means filming will be starting sooner than later so I imagine it's gonna be shooting by October or November. Fully expecting Disney to place this on Memorial Day 2021 with an official announcement at D23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I’m very down with this Ariel casting. Zendaya would have been great too, all those fan arts of her out there got me impressed. But considering how her singing voice is a big part (if not biggest) of Ariel’s character, Halle is a better choice. Not too sure about Harry Styles as Prince Eric though. But get those fan girls demo if you must Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude would kill Under the Sea Disney+ launches a week after this plus Frozen 2 opens the week after that so expect lots and lots of promos for those during this.

Ororo Munroe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Just an update on how princely Harry is looking of late... Seems like he is shooting a video for what some believe is a new album coming out soon. So if indeed he has signed on to this movie, he's going to be very busy for the next year or so.

I think he's probably the best looking of all the former One Direction band members. He's also had the most interesting career after they disbanded and that itself makes him more attractive than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
