Here with the Little Mermaid, I had not heard of the two leads before, I thought it was nice change to not have people who are not so overexposed. To see them as a character is really cool.
I understand you about Sebastion and Flounder. If this movie was made in the 80's Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle probably would have been a mix of puppetry and robotics. Or done like the original Pete's Dragon. I can get immersed in the cartoony 2D look but not the 3D look for some reason haha
I would love movies these days to still craft handmade creatures and since there are such talented people and materials, they could make something that is truly "there" with the actor.
I saw a video once from a behind the scenes of a movie and it started with a growling doberman covered in blood and wounds...it was looking like animal services needed to be called but then, the camera zoomed out...it was a puppet on a person's arm! I could not believe it, the most realistic puppet I had ever seen
I saw some behind the scenes of Halle and in my Imagination I could see how a robotic/puppet flounder could have worked during her swim scenes.
BB8 Was what's called practical effects, he even could roll down the red carpet at premieres haha, I feel if he had been fully animated with CGI that the scenes he was in wouldn't have been so special.
Am I optimistic? Almost for the first time in this remake era.
When people first started talking about this movie there was a cute mistake going around on twitter. People were saying "Halle Berry has been cast as Ariel" people were saying "I am up for it, but isn't she a little..sorry a bit on the older side for this role?" Eventually, Halle Berry herself said something adorable like "Halle's getting it done" then Halle Bailey replied to her.
Hey, if you want to support Halle, Go for it. Going to the movies is a night out and a memory made and a chance to eat tonnes of popcorn
You may have seen it already by now but I saw no one had replied to you so I thought I would

Second, it looks like Disney deliberately made bad marketing for the movie.
Since the initial announcement of the live-action version of The Little Mermaid's cast, scorn after scorn has been spewed by netizens in cyberspace. One of them is Halle Bailey, who is trusted by director Rob Marshall to play Ariel the mermaid.
I assure you that all those doubts will be paid off when audiences hear Halle Bailey sing Part of Your World, one of Disney's beloved original songs. Her voice is no less majestic than Jodi Benson who voiced the animated version of Ariel.
