Looking forward to the approximately 5 million pseudo-intellectual YouTube videos about how The Little Mermaid is a "white story".
I don't see why Disney wouldn't take the opportunity to make a new movie with a uniquely black character. Say what you will about representation inequality or there not even being much in-depth story or character related to The Little Mermaid, but if a white person was cast as an iconic black character, people would utterly lose their minds. I like diversity when it fits. Jasmine shouldn't have even been played by a half-white and half-Pakistani woman, they should have been played by a full-on Arab.

she cute
hope she's a good actress and Marshall doesn't fuck up
on the other hand, this would've been a nice opportunity for redhead representation. Redheads get recast all the time.
Redhead representation lmao

At the risk of turning
yet another Disney film thread into a sociopolitical debate, a story like Aladdin is a distinctively Arabic/Middle Eastern story.
There isn't much about the Little Mermaid story that is distinctively
white, other the original story being written by a Dane.
