The publication of the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the famous Disney animated films live-action version, has generated some recent debate. There is a lot of excitement for the impending remake as a result of many people being pleased to see Halle Bailey as the new Ariel in the video.
The Fictitious Mermaids Skin Tone Shouldnt Be Altered.
Others, meanwhile, have criticized the movie for hiring Bailey and said that the fictitious mermaids skin tone shouldnt be altered. In any event, Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, weighed in on the debate and made it clear where he stands.
The criticisms regarding Baileys hiring were brought up on the Comedy Central program by Noah, who showed news clips with statements from individuals concerned that the new Ariel looked nothing like the cartoon version.

Noah makes fun of the people who are upset over the casting, pointing out that the only major difference is Baileys skin tone, and that the red hair and mermaid tail are still there.
Then, Noah continues his tirade with a joke, saying that the titular clownfish from Finding Nemo was also Black.
Hopes the Controversy Doesnt Overshadow the Movie, Says Trevor Noah
After that, Noah becomes more serious and advises everyone who has objections about Bailey being cast as Ariel to stop being stupid. Noah reiterates that the character is made up and has no bearing on the main themes of The Little Mermaid in the hopes that the casting wont eventually dominate the movie.
Look, quit being so silly. Its not real. Im hoping that the scandal wont overshadow the rest of the film. The Little Mermaid is a lovely tale about a young woman who alters who she truly is in order to impress a guy. Folks, lets not overlook that.
The Little Mermaid Is Directed by Rob Marshall
