He joins her but is blown away by the wind caused by the hurricane yelling. Later on, Scuttle finds Ariel watching humans on a ship. This reminds Ariel that she must participate in a concert, she then swims off. He then explains that a smoke pipe is a "snarfblatt" used by humans to make music. Scuttle describes Ariel's discovered fork to be a "dinglehopper" used by humans to straighten their hair out. Scuttle is first seen on his island humming after Ariel and Flounder escaped from Glut the Shark and visit to show their new human things.
In spite of this, Scuttle has shown to have some knowledge of humans that most of the sea creatures don't. To himself and Ariel, he is an expert on humans, though he knows very little.
Like Ariel, he has a love for human objects and collects a number of them. Scuttle is possibly the most eccentric of Ariel's circle of friends. He is also implied to have the ability to communicate with humans. Scuttle is the only one of Ariel's friends capable of flight and as such is very useful in times of crisis. Upon their first meeting, Ariel wasn't too fond of Scuttle-as his manic personality can be grating to some-but after Scuttle proved himself by saving Sebastian from a band of pirates, he and Ariel developed a strong friendship. He wrongly names a fork a "dinglehopper" and says that it is used as a comb and a smoking pipe as a "snarfblatt" while claiming it works like a trumpet. Ariel, a princess from Atlantica who's fascinated with humans, regularly consults Scuttle about items she salvages, though his identifications consist of nonsense. He was born as Scuttlebutt, but, as Scuttle puts it, "it was changed for obvious reasons." He has had numerous (accidental and nearly fatal) encounters with humans throughout his life, which leads him to believe himself to be an expert on human culture, specifically human objects. Scuttle lives off the coast of Prince Eric's kingdom. 2.4 The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning.2.3 The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea.This is a win for the film as Sebastian has two of the biggest numbers in the film with “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl. It should be noted that Daveed Diggs does a good job taking over the voice of Sebastian that was originally supplied by Samuel E. All of the hits can be credited to Alan Menken and Howard Ashman who won two Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Song for “Under the Sea.” Their soundtrack is one of the best ever produced for a Disney production.
The actress does not have the skills to pull off the wide range of emotions needed to be played with only facial expressions. A large part of the film has her silent once Aerial has given up her voice. Bailey’s rendition of “Part of Your World” is strong but never delivers the soul-grabbing passion Benson provided.Īs for Bailey’s acting skills, she was given a tough task. Her singing voice is acceptable, but no one will ever match the angelic quality of Jodi Benson’s voice work in the animated movie. The whole idea of complaining about the ethnicity of the character is ridiculous unless someone can provide proof as to the actual look of a mermaid.īailey should be judged on the talents she brings to the role. The announcement Bailey would take on the title role was met with mixed reaction. She’s got three days to get Eric to kiss her or Aerial’s father’s crown will be in jeopardy. Despite having to give up her Siren’s voice and tail, Aerial is too smitten not to go for the deal if it gives her a chance to experience life on land. The only way Ariel can follow her heart is to make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Melissa McCarthy). She’s always been curious about the gadgets she has found but the appeal goes much deeper while visiting the surface when she falls for Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King). The fish tale has the youngest of King Triton’s (Javier Bandem) seven daughters, Ariel (Halle Bailey), longing to be part of the world above the water. None of these changes do much good in terms of improving on the original. The script by David Magee (“Mary Poppins Returns”) has been tweaked to make Ariel (Halle Bailey) less of a damsel in distress and to include a few more musical numbers. It’s not bad simply because it is heavily based on a story that worked before. None of the live versions have been able to match the quality of the animated tales and “The Little Mermaid” is no exception. It follows the likes of “The Lion King,” “Cinderella,” “Dumbo,” “Aladdin” and “101 Dalmatians.” This is the latest in the endless string of productions where Disney Studios has strutted and fretted live actors across the stage to semi-recreate the company’s animated films. It is why – other than greed – was it made.
The real question isn’t whether the live-action version of the classic animated Disney film, “The Little Mermaid,” is worth seeing or not.
