Halle Bailey stars as Ariel and Jonah Hauer-King stars as Prince Eric in the trailer for "The Little Mermaid."

[Lin-Manuel Miranda](https://www.upi.com/topic/Lin-Manuel-Miranda/). This is the latest [iteration of The Little Mermaid](https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Movies/2022/12/14/national-film-registry/1521671016037/) based on characters originally created by Hans-Christian Anderson. "It has been such an honor stepping into the iconic role of Ariel," Bailey said. She's gone to the above world and that's not a place for merpeople. "He's a human. March 13 (UPI) -- Can love ever work between humans and mermaids?

The Little Mermaid finally releases its first full-length trailer, and it shows why Halle Bailey is the perfect choice to be Ariel.

Now Ariel’s curiosity about humans and the above world is stronger, leading her to make a deal with Ursula. In The Little Mermaid trailer, Ariel and her father, King Triton, find themselves at odds. That’s why we will be first in line to watch the upcoming live-action version of The Little Mermaid, especially after seeing that [heartfelt trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpGo2_d3oYE) during the Oscars.

Set for release on May 26, Bailey co-stars with Melissa McCarthy, Daveed Diggs and Javier Bardem in the live-action remake of the Disney classic.

The people who do matter are all the kids who are seeing a version of their favorite character who looks like them.

If you were worried that the live-action remake wouldn’t be able to properly capture the beauty of the original’s colorful, detailed animation, go ahead and relax. In the trailer, we finally get to see the CGI versions of her animal friends—including a nightmare-inducing Sebastian. I know there’s going to be a certain section of the internet that take issue with anything that gives Black people joy. On Sunday, while the entertainment world was focused on [The Oscars](https://www.theroot.com/2023-oscars-what-angela-bassett-is-snubbed-again-1850217612), Bailey and co-star Melissa McCarthy took the stage to introduce the first full trailer– and we were not disappointed.

Not unlike the update of The Lion King, this pretty much looks like a shot-for-shot remake of The Little Mermaid, which is a little bit like “why?” and “so?” but I love mermaids enough to go with it, for now.

[Halle Bailey](https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a28292057/the-little-mermaid-new-movie/) certainly stood out with her sheeny silver eyeshadow, an unexpected (yet no less effective) pairing to her seafoam green ensemble.
