Disney\u2019s live-action \u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d is both a faithful and expanded adaptation of the studio\u2019s 1989 animated classic, which featured an iconic voice performance from Jodie Benson as princess Ariel. News broke in April that director Rob Marshall and his \u201cLittle Mermaid\u201d team changed lyrics to classic songs such as \u201cKiss the Girl\u201d and \u201cPoor Unfortunate Souls\u201d to address matters of consent and more. The love story between Ariel and Prince Eric was also overhauled so that Ariel isn\u2019t simply giving up her voice for the love of a man, which is perhaps the biggest criticism made these days against the 1989 original.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about starting our [voiceover] sessions in \u201986 [for the original film],\u201d Benson recently told Entertainment Weekly, defending the new film\u2019s decision to update \u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d to contemporary times. \u201cIt\u2019s 2023, so we have to grow, we have to learn, we have to be aware of our surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be aware of our growth as humans and what\u2019s important now and what maybe isn\u2019t as important,\u201d Benson added. \u201cThings change. We\u2019ve got to roll with that\u2026 But you\u2019ve got to have growth. It\u2019s very important to stay relevant with where we are, what\u2019s going on around us. We need to be aware. So the adjustments and the fine-tuning that they needed to do, it was a must, but it was done in a beautiful way, and I\u2019m very, very thrilled with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1989 animated movie and returned to work on new songs for the 2023 live-action remake, told Vanity Fair in April that updates were needed on some of the existing songs\u2019 lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some lyric changes in \u2018Kiss the Girl\u2019 because people have gotten very sensitive about the idea that [Prince Eric] would, in any way, force himself on [Ariel],\u201d Menken said. \u201cWe have some revisions in \u2018Poor Unfortunate Souls\u2019 regarding lines that might make young girls somehow feel that they shouldn\u2019t speak out of turn, even though Ursula is clearly manipulating Ariel to give up her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halle Bailey, who is taking over the role of Ariel from Benson, also revealed in April that the film \u201cdefinitely changed its perspective of just her wanting to leave the ocean for a boy. It\u2019s way bigger than that. It\u2019s about herself, her purpose, her freedom, her life and what she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d remake has earned strong reviews, with Variety<\/em> film critic Peter Debruge raving, \u201cHalle Bailey is all the reason that any audience should need to justify Disney revisiting this classic. Director\u00a0Rob Marshall\u00a0found his Ariel, and together, they\u2019ve made a keeper. Just wait till you hear her sing \u2018Part of Your World,\u2019 delivered with all the conviction of Jennifer Hudson\u2019s career-making rendition of \u2018And I Am Telling You I\u2019m Not Going.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d opens in theaters May 26 from Disney.<\/p>\n
