Currently number 1 trending on YouTube

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

This is the best straight to dvd looking trailer I've ever seen.
On the flip side this looks like straight garbage.
 
I wonder how many people clicked on this video thinking disney was involved with it? (I know certainly got fooled).
 
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...

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.

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