Spoiler

no it's not Disney.
Why yes of course the comments, likes/dislikes and subscriber numbers are all hidden....
I also particularly like how the mermaid's audio mixing is completely messed up in her conversations as if she's in a separate room from everyone else

 

[LQX]

Oops. Spoiler.

 

[Setsuna]

480p? I havent seen you in years

 

[Quonny]

That is the most cookie cutter trailer I've ever seen.

 

[adj_noun]

They got me with the thumbnail. That white Prince Eric shirt.

 

[sixteen-bit]

might as well hide the view count as well

 

[jph139]

If ever there was a time to pump out live action public domain princess stories, it's now.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Is this by Asylum

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

That looked really, really, really bad.

-If she dies....she dies

[Eggbok]

This is the best straight to dvd looking trailer I've ever seen.
On the flip side this looks like straight garbage.

 

[adj_noun]

Says it's by Conglomerate Media and Kingsway Productions.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

I saw this at #1 and knew it wasn't Disney but hoped it was a parody that ended with Aerial dying horribly like in the original story.

 

[Ogodei]

Doesn't look bad aside from that goofy-ass ringmaster villain.

 

[Surfinn]

Watched without sound but.. this is a trailer for a film? Looks like a TV movie.. damn.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Looks awful.

 

[Zackat]

I came in expecting The Little Mermaid... what was this.

rollercoaster

 

[gimmmick]

I wonder how many people clicked on this video thinking disney was involved with it? (I know certainly got fooled).

 

[Seesaw15]

Is this a porn parody?

Did their mic break?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Looks like a low budget family film yep...

Doesn't look any worse than Aquamarine for example...

Also more people should block comments and likes/dislikes on youtube...

It'd have to get in line.

I assume.

Looks like it will eventually find regular play on Discovery Family as a weekend movie sandwiched somewhere between Aquamarine, The Water Horse and FairyTale: A True Story.

 

[Dynomutt]

Fugazi!

Like honestly it doesn't look great but it also kinda looks fun, it's clearly it's own take on the story, I'm not going to see it in theatres but I'd watch it for a light fun 90 minutes sometime.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

What the fuck lmao!! Is this one of those mockbuster movies that's a straight up rip off of the original? Like Transmorphers, War of the Worlds, etc?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Like this isn't even the Universal Pictures one, this is just some low budget company making a movie based of a centuries old story.

And what might actually be worse than this trailer are articles (and the tweets featured therein) like this http://globalnews.ca/news/3301259/t...-action-trailer-is-here-and-fans-arent-happy/

‘The Little Mermaid' live-action trailer is here and fans aren't happy

With things like:

The mermaid is seen swimming in a circus tank, but there's no indication that she washed up on the shore (like Disney's Ariel).

Drayton is also a brunette, not a redhead, a major deviation from the Disney storyline.

Like Disney didn't invent the concept, and certainly doesn't own it... the entitlement in response to the trailer in that article is really funny lol.

One person was mad that someone who wasn't Disney dared make a movie about The Little Mermaid.

 

[The Salt Life]

Hmm I thought the Khalessi body double was supposed to be the little mermaid

 

[213372bu]

These "classics turned live-action" movies almost always look like SNL skits.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

That looked so boring.

 

[michaelius]

Is their marketing plan luring people to cinema by being mistaken with Disney Classic ?

 

[xelios]

Ugh, no thanks.

 

[UCBooties]

Says it's by Conglomerate Media and Kingsway Productions.

Is there any better name for a production company pushing out shitty cash-ins than Conglomerate Media?

 

[jombag]

#notmylittlemermaid

 

[belushy]

Looks like asscheese.

 

[Drilbit777]

I honestly thought this would be the disney one lol I got fooled

 

[GuitarAtomik]

So did Shirley Maclaine need a new pool or....?

 

[zeemumu]

Aquamarine probably did this plot better, and then Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack did it better than that.

 

[Oersted]

Just realised Gina Gershon is in this


VaderNoooo.jpg

 

[Thorn]

Looks worse than I imagined.

An even cheaper cash-in than Beauty and the Beast

 

[Breads]

What is with these almost Disney Armando Gutierrez films.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That sure was shite.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Wow, that looked low budget even for cable TV. Maybe it's a "work is work" and the check cleared type thing but how the hell they get Shirley MacLaine and others in this? And no Poppy... No! Good lord at the Twitter sycophants though.

I wonder how many people clicked on this video thinking disney was involved with it? (I know certainly got fooled).

I was thinking it was teaser/trailer tied to Beauty and the Beast but nope. I'm sure the timing though is no coincidence.

EQ to limit wind noise. Should've done some ADR, but maybe they tried and it wasn't believable enough.

 

[Spladam]

So no Jamaican crab then?

 

[dcdobson]

So no Jamaican crab then?

Literally laughed out loud.

UNDA DA SEA

 

[SpookyFries]

I can't help but wonder what their budget for this was

 

[number11]

lol I clicked the link expecting the Disney version. I don't think they have anything to worry about.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Eh, I might give it a watch if it's playing on TV at some point in the future.
