Part 2/9:
When Disney released the first full trailer for The Little Mermaid, it was met with an overwhelming wave of dislikes, indicating widespread dissatisfaction. Many argued that the movie seemed "soulless" and lacked the vibrant, colorful charm of the original animated classic. Others criticized the character designs, especially those of Flounder and Sebastian, which many found unappealing. Beyond aesthetics, some viewers felt the plot and lyrical changes reflected a departure from the original story—specifically, modifications deemed to align with modern political correctness.
