In addition, in 2019, there was another popular actress who was also almost chosen to play the mermaid Ariel. That person is none other than the girlfriend of "Little Spider" Tom Holland - Zendaya.

Although there is a lot of controversy surrounding the casting process for the role of Ariel, Halle Bailey is ultimately the face Disney trusts the most. The studio also confirmed Bailey's appearance as a miracle, with the voice rated as the best among the live-action Disney princesses ever. The Little Mermaid is out in theaters now. According to Collider , The Little Mermaid is expected to bring in $120 million in its opening weekend, surpassing Aladdin 's opening weekend of $116.8 million. Disney's work is likely to become a strong competitor of Fast X at the world box office.

In addition, recently, the "The Little Mermaid" crew has revealed many interesting behind-the-scenes stories of the film.

Accordingly, the process of creating the hair of the mermaid Ariel in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid is very feat. Sharing with Variety , Camille Friend - the head of the film's makeup department - revealed that she was tasked with creating a hairstyle that was both reminiscent of the original version and had to bring something new to the character.

"Halle's real hair is waist-length, so wearing a full wig would look silly. If you wrapped the wig around her braids, you wouldn't have to cut or re-dye them. We have can change color without changing the internal hair structure," Camille said.

She added: "We used three different shades of red. The exact number is unknown, but probably the team spent at least $150,000 because we had to redo it and take it apart. It was a wondrous process".

However, the difficulty multiplies with underwater shots. To create the wave-like effect, Camille Friend had to use the method of loosening the braids. In particular, in the scene where Ariel emerges from the sea and performs the legendary hair flip, the crew must use CGI technology to assist.
