"Witch Ursula" Jessica Alexander reacts when asked to replace "mermaid" Halle Bailey

The actress who plays the witch Ursula Jessica Alexander shows support for the mermaid played by Halle Bailey . She had a rather harsh attitude when an audience member said she was more suitable to play a red-haired mermaid than black star Halle Bailey.

The 24-year-old British actress Jessica Alexander is the human version of the witch Ursula in the live action version of The Little Mermaid, which suddenly received great attention from the audience when the Mouse movie hit theaters.

In the work, Jessica appears at the end of the film and does not have much acting ground, but the young actress's shape, beauty and acting are highly appreciated. Many people praised her as a character close to the original, coming out of the story.

On Twitter, an audience member shared a story praising Jessica Alexander but was soon blocked by the actress. Specifically, this person said, "She (Jessica) is really pretty, but I'm a bit disappointed. She blocked me because I left a message that she should play Ariel."

Jessica Alexander's reaction is considered an act of support for "the mermaid Ariel" by the black actor Halle Bailey. Discussions related to this issue have reached 2 million hits on Twitter.

Jessica Alexander has participated in a number of previous works but has not yet resonated, she is more noticeable when playing The Little Mermaid. She and Hailey Bailey also became good friends after collaborating. The two have repeatedly complimented each other in interviews.

According to EntGroup, The Little Mermaid ended its opening weekend in China with $2.63 million, making it Disney's lowest-grossing film so far this year. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever made $5.9 million in its opening weekend, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania made $19 million, and more recently Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with $27 million.

While the work looks bleak in the market of the country of billions of people, in the US, The Little Mermaid grossed an impressive amount of 118 million USD in 4 weekends. The global total is $185.8 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There are mixed opinions about the movie. Most critics praised Halle Bailey's singing talent as Princess Ariel, but the content development was not as dramatic as expected.

It is known that The Little Mermaid is not only a popular animated film from Disney, but also the movie that kicked off the animation studio's renaissance in the 1990s, opening a series of hit films including including Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast... - are all remade in a "real-life" style.

However, the case of "mermaid" Halle Bailey is special. Director Rob Marshall found Ariel. Just listening to Bailey sing Part of Your World, conveyed with all faith in the performance of And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - the song that made Jennifer Hudson's career - is enough to understand why Rob Marshall has a point!

A star is born. Rob Marshall placed Halle Bailey on a ledge that rose out of the sea and big waves crashed against her back.

Ignoring her father's orders, princess Ariel explores forbidden seas, taking care of all things human. She keeps a cave full of things that have fallen into the sea, even going so far as to rescue one such person - Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) - and bring him back to land. Ariel likes Eric's looks, he's fascinated by her voice, but both come from two different worlds...

Nearly an hour longer than the 1989 cartoon of the same name, The Little Mermaid simulates the seabed image quite attractively, while adding songs to the character.

Halle Bailey's face and skin tone draw attention, adding bright eyes, long lashes, and a bright smile.

Unfortunately, Rob Marshall applied too many distracting visual effects to the deep-sea scenes, designed to trick the eye into believing the actors did their job underwater: The hair was bouncy, reflective, and the filter limped, as if everything were seen through an aquarium.

After Disney announced the main character in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, played by actress Halle Bailey, many viewers were extremely surprised. The main reason is that Halle Bailey is black while the original animated version is a white mermaid with red hair that has become so familiar.

If Halle Bailey is the film's big discovery (despite its criticism), then McCarthy is the one without question. Dressed up to look like an evil stepmother, McCarthy is fantastic as the film's deep-sea villain.

In general, The Little Mermaid attracts young audiences not because of the plot, because the content is too familiar, but the music through the voice of Halle Bailey is what is interesting.
