Ever since the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, Disney has been well-known for its iconic animated films. Over the years, the studio has taken many of these beloved movies, and remade them in live action, with one of its earliest adaptions being 101 Dalmatians in 1996, which starred Glenn Close as the iconic Cruella de Vil. However, starting in the 2010s, Disney started remaking its animated films into live-action more frequently, including Cinderella in 2015, Beauty and the Beast in 2017, and Aladdin in 2019.

This year, Disney is releasing two live-action films that are based on animated ones, the first one being Snow White, which will star Rachel Zegler as Disney's original princess, and will be released on March 21. It will be followed by a remake of Lilo & Stitch, which will be released on May 23. In 2026, there will be a remake of Moana, which even features Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui from the animated films.

The Little Mermaid Is A Hit On Disney+The Live-Action Remake Stars Halle Bailey As Ariel

As of this writing, the 2023 live-action version of The Little Mermaid is in the top 5 most viewed programs on Disney+. The remake's cast includes Halle Bailey as Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as the villainous Ursula. In addition to recreating the songs from the 1989 classic, this version also includes new songs written by Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has worked on songs for other Disney movies. The film has a 67% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and went on to make $569 million at the box office.

Currently, the most viewed program on Disney+ is the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. The series is the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite being set in a different universe. Taking second place is an ABC News special, Kendrick vs. Drake: The Feud, followed by the Hulu series Paradise. Right above The Little Mermaid in fourth place is the hit ABC sitcom Shifting Gears, which marks Tim Allen and Kat Dennings' sitcom return and has been setting multiple viewership records since its premiere.

Our Take On The Little Mermaid's Success On StreamingDisney Fans Want To Go Back Under The Sea

Even though The Little Mermaid wasn't as successful at the box office as some of the other live action Disney films, it still has a lot of factors working in its favor. The original animated film is a beloved animated classic, and it is also an important one, since it kicked off the Disney Renaissance of 1989-1999. Fans of McCarthy and Miranda also have a reason to check it out, and see their take on the classic story.

RelatedAll 8 The Little Mermaid Live-Action Remake Songs Ranked

The 2023 The Little Mermaid contains eight total musical numbers, and though each song helped to tell Ariel's story, they weren't all created equal.

Also, since many of Disney's live-action remakes have had mixed reactions, being able to watch it at home on a streaming service that viewers are already paying for, instead of having to go to a theater and purchasing a ticket, can also feel like less of a risk. While the live-action version of The Little Mermaid won't be considered a classic like the animated film, it still serves as a tribute to one of Disney's most popular movies.

Na In Woo And Lee Se Young Tearfully Face A Shocking Truth In “Motel California”

Na In Woo And Lee Se Young Tearfully Face A Shocking Truth In “Motel California”

MBC’s “Motel California” has shared a glimpse of a heartbreaking moment from its next episode! Based on Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel “Home, Bitter Home,” “Motel California” is a romance drama about a woman named Ji Kang Hee (Lee Se Young), who was born and raised in a rural motel called Motel California. After escaping her hometown, she returns home after 12 years and winds up reconnecting with her first love and childhood friend Cheon Yeon Soo (Na In Woo). Spoilers On the previous episode of “Motel California,” Ji Kang Hee and Cheon Yeon Soo’s love for one another grew stronger as they began to correct the misunderstandings that surrounded them. However, they were surprised and troubled when Kang Hee’s father opposed their relationship—and they decided to go on a nighttime drive to Seoul to get some fresh air. On the way, Kang Hee hallucinated a vision of a car accident involving her mother before losing consciousness, and the episode ended with a worried Yeon Soo rushing her to the emergency room. In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, the sweet, blissful vibe that Kang Hee and Yeon Soo exuded in the previous episode is nowhere to be found. Instead, both of them have tears in their eyes as they gaze sadly at one another, and Yeon Soo looks crushed by both sorrow and shock. The visible pain in both characters’ eyes raises the question of what could have happened to the couple—and where this unhappy late-night conversation will lead them. “In Episode 10, the full story behind Kang Hee’s shocking car-accident hallucination will be revealed, leading to a huge whirlwind in not only Kang Hee and Yeon Soo’s relationship but also the entire plot,” teased the drama’s production team. “Please give lots of interest to ‘Motel California,’ which is racing towards its climax.” The next episode of “Motel California” will air on February 8 at 9:50 p.m. KST. In the meantime, catch up on all the previous episodes of the drama on Viki below! [viki-watchnow url=https://www.viki.com/tv/40832c-motel-california] Source (1)

Watch: Choi Hyun Wook And Mun Ka Young Showcase Perfect Visual Chemistry During “My Dearest Nemesis” Poster Shoot

Watch: Choi Hyun Wook And Mun Ka Young Showcase Perfect Visual Chemistry During “My Dearest Nemesis” Poster Shoot

tvN’s upcoming drama “My Dearest Nemesis” has unveiled a new behind-the-scenes video from its poster shoot! Based on a popular webtoon, “My Dearest Nemesis” tells the love story of a man and woman who first meet via their online game characters during their school days, then meet again in real life as boss and employee 16 years later. In the video, Mun Ka Young is the first to shoot a poster for her character Baek Su Jeong. After warmly greeting the staff, she quickly learns about the concept for the poster: to portray Baek Su Jeong thinking about her first love, she must come across as sullen and slightly cold, with a touch of prickliness. After hearing the staff’s requests, she perfectly embodies the character’s mood, impressing everyone on set and making the shoot go smoothly. Choi Hyun Wook is also seen dressed in a sharp suit, portraying his chaebol heir character Ban Ju Yeon. He describes his role as having the vibe of a moody teenager with emotional wounds. While displaying such boyish charm, he also brings a mature energy to the character, leaving the staff in awe of his looks and his acting. Later, the two leads come together to shoot their couple posters. Whether in an office setting or a more casual, quirky environment, the actors’ undeniable chemistry shines through, leaving viewers eager to see more of them together in the upcoming drama. Watch the full making-of video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaKKEL1iMp4 “My Dearest Nemesis” premieres on February 17 at 8:50 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki. In the meantime, check out teasers for the drama with English subtitles below: [viki-watchnow url=https://www.viki.com/tv/40976c-my-dearest-nemesis]
