Under the sea! Under the sea! Well, at least temporarily!
On Monday, Hollywood was transformed into an underwater seascape for the world premiere of the live-action Disney film, “The Little Mermaid.”
Stars Halle Bailey (Ariel), Jonah Hauer-King (Eric), Melissa McCarthy (Ursula), and more took to the blue carpet. They were joined by several Disney Legends: composer Alan Menken; Jodi Benson (voice of Ariel in the 1989 animated film); and Anika Noni Rose (voice of Princess Tiana in “The Princess and The Frog”).
This live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”) and opens May 26 in theaters, with an expected run later on Disney+.
