" intelligibly the little mermaid director want the audience to jump through the screen and consume prince eric butt "

The live-action remake ofThe Little Mermaidhit cinemas this weekend, and after months of anticipation, it’s clear to see it was worth the wait.

Fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the movie, and they’re loving it:

the little mermaid ate so bad , why was everyone in the theater gasping and applause … it was like a concert in there

You wouldn’t expect a fairytale to be such a tear jerker, but  emotions are universally running high:

No one can get over just how perfect Halle Bailey is as Princess Ariel:

The impact the representation is having on little Black girls is beautiful to see:

My preferent thing about this new variation of The Little Mermaid is find out how severely the calamitous momma been going for their girl . Ariel dolls , mermaid shirts , reddened hairsbreadth etc . They did It up for these babies!pic.twitter.com / vKqHSAkkp7

Along with 30 friends of mine we rented out a theater and took our girl to see The Little Mermaidpic.twitter.com/TUOzStrp7O

The remake made a few changes to the original, and it’s safe to say they brought it into the 21st century perfectly:

In “ The Little Mermaid ” remaking , alternatively of Prince Eric being the ultimate badass who save his princess and dispatch Ursula , he ’s tangled up in forget me drug while Ariel save them both.pic.twitter.com/bBRGaUCHw2

this comparing is sending me so regretful like revive eric was gaggedhttps://t.co/57omzeOziC

the thing i loved the absolute most about this#TheLittleMermaidwere the thing that made it different from the animated versionthe lyrics changes ? so so much well , the new songs ? ate ! ! ! ! prince eric was n’t a dumb unaware side part ! ! ! their love story MADE SENSE!!pic.twitter.com / NviDLd8Xg0

love that they gave prince eric so much more personality in the live action , we were actually able to see WHY ariel was so infatuate with him and why they were soulmates 🥹

There’s been a lot of thirst for Prince Eric, and rightly so:

the best thing rob marshal did for the little mermaid was for Eric to angle in and get rejected rather than Ariel . like that valet de chambre was down badddd for herpic.twitter.com/PkO5kPpKbd

clearly the picayune mermaid director wants the audience to jump through the screen and run through prince eric butt

when prince eric came out that water with his pull shirt and the photographic camera crew did it ’s lil look down GAWDDDD#TheLittleMermaidpic.twitter.com / jP8NGIcCki

Prince Eric might have slant Naveen and Flynn Ryder ’s crown a picayune turn . Just a tad

The Little Mermaid Spoilers : The way Prince Eric go along look at Ariel throughout the movie was beautiful but THIS look in good order here is the looking of a man who has fallen hard in love life 😭 Jonah Hauer - King , you will go down in account as the best Disney Prince🥹 💙 pic.twitter.com / iN224o44wv

Animated Eric moved out the way 🫠pic.twitter.com / I6YLycmVUe

ca n’t discontinue thinking about when ariel turn back into a mermaid and everyone wince but eric hold her tighter without hesitationpic.twitter.com/Wh43iT4KNL

Critics have well and truly been put in their place:

The Little Mermaid remake is n’t a mirrored version of the original . It ’s an actual remake , so the same feminist critiques from the animated cartoon do n’t 100 % apply to this one . The plot is the same , while some tinge & messages have changed . And you wo n’t know until you see it .

the slight mermaid was literally about a fille ’s desire to live her life on her own terms , without her family ’s chronicle or prejudices guiding her power to make choices for herself and be curious about the world and somehow y’ all think it ’s a bad content to teach girl ? ? ?

i promise you tiddler are n’t check the little mermaid and thinking “ oouu i m gon na give up whatever for man ” like no they re just excited to see a mermaid princess .

Even the minor characters have been getting their fair share of love:

PrinceEric : " I fall behind the ring ! Anyone take care it?“Grimsby:#TheLittleMermaidpic.twitter.com / LjXo6JgqKs

I ’m still thinking about The Little Mermaid and I necessitate to give a cry out to Grimsby . That military personnel was a Prince Eric x Ariel SHIPPER and I felt so represent by that man lmaoo . He was ROOTING for them 🤭 🤭 🤭
