Just if you thought you’d by no means get “Part of Your World” caught in your head ever once more, The Little Mermaid’s live-action remake is right here to remind you that an earworm can final over three a long time. We’ve bought the primary peek on the extremely anticipated movie courtesy of the D23 Expo, and whereas it doesn’t showcase a lot of the star-studded forged, it positively telegraphs some appropriately dreamy underwater vibes.

If you’ve seen the animated movie (and significantly, who hasn’t?) and even learn the Hans Christian Andersen supply materials, the plot description will sound awfully acquainted: “The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life—and her father’s crown—in jeopardy.”

Aside from Bailey (Ariel) and McCarthy (Ursula), The Little Mermaid stars Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) as King Triton; Daveed Diggs (Hamilton, Snowpiercer) because the voice of Sebastian; Jacob Tremblay (Luca) because the voice of Flounder; Awkwafina (Raya and the Last Dragon) because the voice of Scuttle; Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric; Art Malik as Sir Grimsby; and Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina. It’s directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns), and options new songs from unique composer Alan Menken and a few man named Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid hits theaters on May 26, 2023.
