Halle Bailey as Ariel is now my favourite Disney princess . Sorry , Princess Jasmine .
Everyone should probably know by now that Disney’s live-actionThe Little Mermaid,starringHalle Baileyas Ariel, is out in theaters — and doing extremely well. Like,#1 movie-in-the-world well.

From its opening weekend alone,The Little Mermaidhas already made an estimated$117 million, which is the biggest opening for a live-actionDisney moviethus far. But with Halle’s incredible vocals, her chemistry with Jonah Hauer-King' Prince Eric, and the beautiful visuals, I’m really not that surprised.
To celebrate such a huge feat, Halle Bailey had her own plans. Over the weekend, Halle posted aTikTokof her going to the theater to watchThe Little Mermaid!
ca n’t believe the little mermaid is the#1movie in the domain you guys ! ! went to the theatre to go see it last Nox 🥲 😭 🥰 😇 🤍
The chaos I would have caused alone if I saw Ariel IRL would have been enough to bring the whole theater down, so it makes sense that Halle chose to go incognito. Wearing sunglasses, a big jacket, and a mask, Halle kept it low-key while parading the extremely cuteThe Little Mermaid–themed popcorn bucket.
And the disguise seemed to work well enough! Halle unnoticeably passed by some excited moviegoers who were taking a selfie withThe Little Mermaidmovie poster, and I can’t stop screaming at the idea of Ariel herself literally being right there in front of them.
The video then showed us Halle watching from the sidelines, along with little snippets of the movie itself! Just wholesome, wholesome content. But I do wonder if anyone was annoyed that some random person was on their phone.
