YouTube users did not appreciate the new version of the story about the mermaid Ariel, literally flooding the published teaser with dislikes. In the first two days since its publication, the video has collected more than 1.2 million dislikes with 9.3 million views. The video was liked by a significantly smaller number of viewers – at the time of preparation of the material, the number of “Like” marks was 338 thousand.
There is also a lot of criticism in the comments to the teaser. As with the release of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings, audiences have mostly criticized the inconsistency of the new material with the original cartoon. In particular, fans of the original were not happy with the choice of black actress Halle Bailey for the role of the main character.
