Screengrab via Disney While its international box office is sadly in a poor, unfortunate place, The Little Mermaid swam its way to a mega-successful domestic opening, earning a total of $118.8 million across the four-day weekend to make it the fifth highest Memorial Day weekend launch in cinema history. So it’s easy to imagine that Disney bigwigs are starting to whisper about potentially returning to Atlantica in a sequel. And if such a thing is on the cards, luckily for the studio an animated template is ready…

Its failure could upend the global financial system, jarring markets from Tokyo to London, jeopardizing Medicare and Social Security payments and calling into question the…

Screengrab via Walt Disney Pictures For most of The Little Mermaid’s pre and post-production, we were left in the dark as to what to expect from director Rob Marshall’s stab at the live-action remake of the beloved classic. We didn’t get a teaser trailer (if you can call it that) until Sept. 2022. The official trailer didn’t drop until six months later in March. But from then on, the hype train has been full steam ahead, with said steam scheduled to billow into full form this Friday.  Thanks to several clips and…

Screengrab via Disney I’m happy to inform anyone reading not in the know that The Little Mermaid has been considered a trans Disney story by the queer community for decades. Sure, it may not be on the level of Mulan and the song “Reflection,” but a girl belting out about how she wants to be “part of your world” and going out of her way to change her body to live her ideal life?

For months, President Biden publicly insisted he would not negotiate over paying the federal government’s bills. White House officials said the GOP should keep with its past…

Melissa McCarthy and her “The Little Mermaid” castmates have only gushed about their positive experiences working on the Disney reboot. However, the “Bridesmaids” star hadn’t always been so fortunate in her career. In an interview with Britain’s the Observer, McCarthy opened up about a toxic film production she worked on previously that emotionally and physically traumatized her and others on set. “I did work for someone once who ran such a volatile, hostile set that it made me physically ill,” the “Spy” actor recalled…
