The Little Mermaid (2024) – Trailer Talk

Chances are, you saw the title of this week’s article and thought ‘wait, Disney are remaking this again already?!’ In actual fact, no. 

‘The Little Mermaid’ follows an archaeologist as his team discover an ancient temple, and a beautiful girl who seems all too familiar to the creature that they encountered at sea the night before.

Out of all the films coming out of the ‘reimagining Disney classics as horrors’ subgenre, ‘The Little Mermaid’ is the one that makes the most sense. Especially considering how the original story, by Hans Christian Anderson, progressed, a horror version could actually work. 

Furthermore, the film appears to showcase the titular mermaid as the creature that they were originally known for. Before Disney softened them, mermaids were disguised as beautiful girls who would trick sailors into the water, before killing them. The 2024 film looks to be following a similar idea which is something that I appreciate.

Despite the quality of 2024’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ resembling that of a B-movie, this is actually a film that makes sense. Not only is it being more accurate to the original story of the ‘Little Mermaid’, but it also appears to be giving the titular character an accurate portrayal too. Just don’t take the kids to see this film; this won’t be a Disney film at all!
