How does Little Voice season 1, episode 1, “I Don’t Know” open?Įpisode 1 begins with the series giving the audience an insight into Bess’s life walking the dogs, giving piano lessons, and writing song lyrics on the back of her hand. The animated movie is streaming on Disney+. The Little Mermaid live-action movie is out in cinemas now. Marshall's improvements are certainly welcome and remove any lingering doubts about this, but remember, the 1989 version achieved her life-long dream too. Thankfully, though, we think it's safe to say that the remake's Ariel takes up Ursula's bargain to achieve her life-long dream: a life on land. These elements make their love story all the more compelling and, dare we say, a little more understandable if she did give up her life under the sea for him. In other words, when they do finally kiss, it's because Ariel wants to, not because she has to. It also helps that Ursula makes Ariel forget that she needs to kiss the prince to lift the curse this time around. "They both feel displaced, they both feel they want something more and they’re not afraid of someone who’s different from them, or a culture that’s different from them." "The great thing is we were able to find these two kindred spirits that have similar journeys," said Marshall. Like the original, Ariel swims up to Eric's ship and marvels at the crew dancing while fireworks light up the sky, before she saves him. But this is where Marshall's updates come in. We concede, Ariel does a little too much fawning over Eric before getting her legs, which is why the criticism of her giving up her voice for him can be understood. She feels misunderstood by her family and longs to break free from the confines of her sea-quarters for a place in the world where she won't be "reprimanded" for being different. It's also important to remember that Ariel takes Ursula up on her offer after her father, King Triton, destroys her collection of precious treasures. Long before she ever sets eyes on the prince, Ariel tells us she wants to be "where the people are," that she would "love to explore the shore up above." The lyric "bright young women, sick of swimmin', ready to stand," provides viewers with a pretty clear message, too. Then, of course, Ariel sings her 'I wish' song: 'Part of Your World'. ![]()
