The Little Mermaid (released 5/26/23)

I was today years old when I released The Little Mermaid is a fish out of water story. The movie was meh and as far as my memory of the original goes, it is fairly close like the other reimaginings. I really want to gripe about the CGI. I get underwater is difficult to do but Aquaman did it slightly better. The final Ursula battle was downright ugly looking. The stuff on land was much more enjoyable because there was more practicality to it. Scuttle and Ursula were the most entertaining characters. Ariel had an amazing voice. Everyone else was meh. In all honesty, just watch the animated movie. These reboots are unnecessary and look terrible from the uncanny valley.
