Review by: Peter Travers - ABC News

Padding and heavy-handed digital effects are no substitute for the effortless charm of the animated version. Except when Bailey is on screen to give "The Little Mermaid" just what it needs -- a heart that sings and a spirit that soars.

Review by: Richard Roeper - The Chicago Sun-Times

Thanks in large part to Halle Bailey’s outstanding work, “The Little Mermaid” makes quite the splash. It’s a thrill to see Bailey confirm her movie-star status when she belts out a show-stopping version of “Part of Your World,” one of the most memorable musical moments in any movie in recent years.

Review by: Wesley Morris - The New York Times

Disney’s live-action remake, with Halle Bailey starring as Ariel and a diverse cast, is a dutiful corrective with noble intentions and little fun.

Review by: Aswin Bharadwaj - Lensmenreviews

Every generation gets to see a version of this story in their childhood on the big or small screen, and this live-action one is designed for the kids of this generation. On the whole, this Disney film is enjoyable in parts.

The movie is visually stunning with grand the rich CGI underwater world and coral life, and beautifully designed mermaid costume with iridescent scales and gossamer fins.

Review by: Tushar Joshi - India Today

e VFX used to show Ariel’s tail, the scales on her body glistening as she rises up, the myriad of colours that reflect the sunlight in the ocean, all of these elements are just superb. If you have watched the 1989 version, then certain scenes are almost a mirror image.

Review by: Michael Phillips - The Chicago Tribune

Director Rob Marshall’s take on The Little Mermaid stays faithfully close to the ‘89 basics and many of the scene-by-scene, shot-by-shot design schemes of the animated version.

Review by: Mini Anthikad Chhibber - The Hindu

This Disney live-action reboot of its Oscar-winning 1989 animation film is saved from sinking into oblivion by Halle Bailey’s spirited performance and eye-popping CGI.
