    New Little Mermaid Trailer Stirs Controversy

    New Little Mermaid Trailer Stirs Controversy

    On September 9th, 2022, Disney released a trailer of the new live action ¨ The Little Mermaid¨ movie, set to release May 26th, 2023. This trailer caused quite the stir-up in the media based on Ariel being played by Halle Bailey, a African American actress. Some individuals believe that Ariel the character should remain white because she lives in the ocean and the bottom of the ocean does not receive much sun-light. Others view it as a light-hearted diverse character choice. Either way, mermaids have not been scientifically proven, so the argument is based on opinion and not fact.

    Hey, my name is David Cooper. I am a junior at Conrad Schools of Science, and my pathway is Bio-Technology. English is my favorite subject because I enjoy analyzing different forms of media such as poems, books, speeches, and art. I am interested in Journalism because it combines the analytical skills that I have acquired from English and current events. I am very thrilled to begin my journalism career and report on contemporary issues.
