    Not satisfied halle not for black skin or whatever I don't care about it just it feels like she doesn't match ( I might sound offended but it's just my opinion )

    Ariel's image as the little red headed princess/mermaid has been a cultural icon image for the past 30 years. It's the look associated with that character… from toys, merchandise, spinoffs, etc..

    And how it's been integrated into the hearts and minds of the Disney fans both old and new. That's what really bums me out about this whole thing. "That look" was just so iconic in the world of Disney.

    I just want her to have red hair, it's an iconic part of the character. I dont give a shit about her skin color. 🙁 And yet you're calling me a racist troll? Maybe instead of labeling everyone who disagrees with you some negative label, you actually do some fair reporting, hm? Fucking Billboard. I'm just going to unsub, fuck this.

    I mean it didn't matter to begin with. Ariel is a fictional character not real so for people to blow this up out of proportion was ridiculous and stupid on their part
