A remake of the little mermaid in disguise

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2016)

This has been the closest Disney ever came to realism with their characters. we get "almost" real looking characters with conversations you can relate to. the Hair looks so real and the water is a character by itself.. a likable one too!
It was nice to see the company be more culturally aware with the material and portray the island myths and legends properly.
As a movie however it is someone lack luster, there are so many call backs to Disney's little mermaid that I was just waiting for a kraken to pop up instead of ursula.
You have a girl *coughprincesscough* that "wants more" that wants to see what's beyond the borders of her home and a father *coughkingcough* that forbids it. doesn't give her a reason just forbids it. Even when the reason is given it's the same one king trident had in the TV series of the little mermaid!
If that's not enough when she finally sings her song she gives the same iconic stand as Arial does when the was crash behind her. it was eerie...
As a whole the visuals were beautiful, characters almost too realistic but the movie is an average one with a very straight forward predictable plot.
