Halle Bailey's Ariel takes center stage in Disney's live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid'ĭisney Halle Bailey's Ariel takes center stage in Disney's live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid' Each of the king's daughters are followed by a train of fish - the same kinds of fish that inspired the look of their respective mermaid. Towards the beginning of the movie, after audiences are introduced to Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) and his world above the water, the camera plunges to the bottom of the ocean where the sisters are swimming towards Triton's castle. Each one looks after a different ocean, and they all return home to Triton's ( Javier Bardem) kingdom with each coral moon. "Real fish already have these beautiful markings and colors and shapes," he says.Īriel and her siblings are named the Sisters of the Seven Seas in the new film. Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood - who worked with Marshall and DeLuca on 2014's Into the Woods, 2009's Nine, 2005's Memoirs of a Geisha, and 2002's Chicago - helped give the mer-people a lighter touch on The Little Mermaid.Īccording to Marshall, Atwood used real fish as reference points for the individual mermaids. Peter Mountain/Walt Disney Pictures/Everett Mermaids rise from the depths in the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie Mermaids rise from the depths in the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie We just broke it down with our entire team. We were explaining how we achieved it, too - when we were using visual effects, when we were using some kind of costumes, and things like that. "That already had our taste in terms of look and what you can achieve. Obviously, it's a different kind of mermaid, but we were all trying to figure out how visually we create the tails, even the iridescent skin, all of that," Marshall explains. "I wanted people to see what we had done. Marshall and DeLuca shared the footage from that film with the crew on The Little Mermaid, calling it "a great launching point for us."
There's even a mini musical number: the haunting siren song "Jolly Sailor Bold." There's a mix of live-action and CGI in the scene where Tamara (Gemma Ward), the first mermaid to emerge from Whitecap Bay, enthralls the pirate Scrum (Stephen Graham). One could say, with the benefit of hindsight, that their work on Pirates foreshadowed The Little Mermaid, as it features many of the same elements.
