I can't wait to see it💕

ok

he’s pretty

This will be the second attempt at filming this movie live as Hollywood folk not being too bright, lost 17 Ariel’s during filming until it dawned on them to stop hiring method actors, no matter how great an actor you may be, you simply cannot breathe under water

Dark haired in a Hans Christian Andersen story set near Denmark. Ok. We will, and apparently always have, allow(ed) it.

He looks like prince eric to me

JulietLambert96 it's official 😱

it’s not jinyoung. keep it

Jimin era el perfecto indicado para el principe erick:((( LaSirenita

oh

Pues...no esta ni feo,, es lindo...but sin duda alguna el indicado hubiera sido shawn mendes o el que hace el rol de superman, so...es lindo, pero bueh....

Jonah Hauer-King 👀 Let’s see

jinyoung should’ve gotten that role 🤦🏻‍♀️

QuotedReplies

Nah

Thank god they didn’t recycle actors

When a whole Park Seonghwa was right there?

I have Prince Eric haha

Should've been hendery

so you guys didn't want harry, a mainstream celebrity, but you also don't want jonah, a new fresh face (which is what most of you wanted) so what the fuck do y'all want?

This would be a SERVE 🖤

Congratulations. Stream lights up by Harry Styles

We Wanted Jordan Fisher but OK I guess

He looks like a Prince Eric! And for all those who are still struggling with a black girl playing Ariel & them being an interracial casting, our episode is here for you to help cleanse you of your bigotry right in time for opening night 😌

Now STREAM. STREAM. STREAM Lights Up by Harry Styles 👇👇👇

Ok

Cc: isabelleenguyen

he look like matthew mcconaughooty

Ok

at least it ain’t harry styles

Cool!

I lost hope on this movie anyway...

we asked for jordan fisher but we'll see how this guy does I guess

LisPuerto

mhmm..okay just gonna leave this here

jinyoung should've gotten the role

we wanted

no

QuotedReplies

Harry_Styles come back and say sike rn

A boring vanilla choice, if you really want to make the movie beautiful, go with a beautiful cast, not a guy who looks like the cartoon, the whole point of a reimagining is to invent a NEW look.

I was hoping my boy Hendery having a time to shine

it should have been darren criss but alright

He's still my Prince Eric 🙈

HE’S A NEW COMER! Y’all act like Prince Eric requires some huge dramatic actor lol.. y’all haven’t seen him or Halle together. Shut up and wait for the footage.

This is Harry's replacement Tragic luv

TheLitteMermaidLiveAction Disney DisneyStudiosLA It's all wrong! NOT MELISA, NOT HAILEY, NOT JAVIER AND NOT KING

Congratulations

how can we boycott this?

We wanted TheEllenShow

halle deserves better

we wanted darren criss but okay

LMAOOOOO in the end harry always wins lmao where are the people who tweeted notmyeric now you look like clowns

FdezGarciia What is this

or AT LEAST GRAHAM PHILLIPS LIKE WHO IS THIS

He cute but, nah

there’s a whole jimin and jeongguk they could’ve used 😐

And y’all were crying over Harry playing the role, now look what you have.

i feel so bad for this dude because they hyped harry up and now nobody gives a damn

i don’t know who this man is

Mejor que el de one dirección, está 7u7

🤢

Recast.

No.

Y’all know it should have been Darren

And Ariel says:

there are no words

I hope the Harry haters and those highly critical middle age locals show the same response to this choice. Y'all throttled down Harry cause he was famous. Guess what the little mermaid hype fused after Harry turned down the role.

Jonah Hauer-King was brilliant in WorldOnFireTV BBCOne I’m sure he will be dimply fantastic as Prince Eric.

Thanks I hate it

Go watch The Bygone. A new movie that Graham Phillips wrote and directed with his older brother Parker Phillips. Graham is also the lead in his own film. 💋

they picked the most beautiful ariel they could find and this is prince Eric 😭... they said “this is Ariel’s movie!”

Who is you?

We wanted Caleb McLaughlin

Another random white man ... Stan mexican icon Joaquín Bondoni for clear skin

We wanted GrahamPhillips but ok

Unfind him pls

delete this now.

Well I say congratulations...any chance they might want to add a prince from a neighboring kingdom to visit during the wedding. Got a prince in mind lol

Hes cute

IT SHOULDVE BEEN GRAHAM PHILLIPS OR CAMERON CUFFE

We wanted Harry

junmyeon yessss

he will never be jimin

andresrivero10

Where was he?

Damn good choice considering all the other potential fan-casts were AWFUL
