The Little Mermaid‘s world premiere took place on Monday night (May 8) and first reactions have been revealed!
Many critics and press outlets were able to catch the film on it’s first night in front of audiences, and it’s high praise all around.
The live action adaptation of course stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s (Javier Bardem) daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King).
While mermaids are forbidden from interacting with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
