If there’s one film whose adaptation to the live-action format raises huge expectations, it’s this one. La Sirenita (The Little Mermaid). Disney is doing an impeccable job in terms of marketing this premiere which could blow up the global box office. The countdown to his next premiere May 26 started but two months before, it will have another key date: that of the Oscars.
Because if there’s going to be an alternate protagonist at the big American Film Academy awards show, it’ll be Arielle. The popular Mouse Factory has confirmed that the final trailer for their movie will be released on such a movie night.
