The Little Mermaid's Box Office Hunt: Can Disney Survive Its Expectations?

Over the past few months, Disney has been aggressively trying to drown out the growing negativity surrounding their live-action remake, The Little Mermaid. From the outset, fans expressed their disapproval—criticizing everything from the muted color palette to the perceived soullessness of the adaptation.

Fans voiced displeasure over changes to story beats, song lyrics, and the overall visual tone, which starkly contrasted with the beloved 1989 animated original.
