THE LITTLE MERMAID (Released to Theaters USA 2023)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì  The Little Mermaid—rehash of the original film—misses the magic of the original movie. It ends as a suitable to okay watch and can get a bit boring throughout the story presentation.

It is interesting to see this interpretation of an old tale, but it does not compare well with the quality of the original animated mermaid story in any area. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
