Halle Bailey strikes a classic pose in a new poster for 'The Little Mermaid.'
Ariel longs to be part of another world in a new poster released for the upcoming live-action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid, which pays homage to a teaser poster for the animated 1989 classic. The image is a clear homage to the poster of the original 1989 film, where a young princess who lives underwater dreams of visiting the surface world.
Just like in the animated movie, the new version will deal with Ariel agreeing with the evil witch Ursula to give up her voice for the opportunity of having legs. But, if Ariel can't get Eric to kiss her after three days, she will turn back into a mermaid, and be forced to work for Ursula for the rest of her life.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The new version of the story was directed by Rob Marshall, who previously worked together with Disney when he helmed 2018's Mary Poppins Returns. The 2018 legacy sequel saw Emily Blunt stepping into the shoes of the iconic character made famous by Julie Andrews in 1964. Returns was nominated for four Academy Awards, giving the studio plenty of confidence in allowing Marshall to take a journey under the sea.
