Many Disney home media releases for their musical films will include Sing Along versions, and there's an all-new Sing Along version of The Little Mermaid that comes with the home media release for the film.

Per the synopsis, The Little Mermaid is "visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall’s live-action reimagining of Disney’s beloved animated musical classic, the story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy."

Fans of Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid are in for a treat! It looks like the studio is trying for one final box office push as a sing-along version of the film is headed to theaters for a limited time.
Originally released in May, the film didn’t do as well at the box office as the studio hoped, sitting at $567 million at the worldwide. The studio was aiming for its next billion-dollar remake like their 2019 Aladdin and Lion King remakes and 2017s Beauty and the Beast. The film has already been released digitally and will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on September 19. So bringing it back in sing-along form could help drive it to $600 million.
Could this help The Little Mermaid sequel? There have been ideas and talks of a sequel to The Little Mermaid, but with no official greenlight and the film making $567 million on a $250 million budget, it would be highly unlikely Disney would want to pull the trigger on a follow-up. The studio will look to the sing-along version and streaming analytics to help necessitate a sequel should they decide to do one.

Source: www.cbr.com/the-little-mermaid-back-to-theaters-singalong-version/The Little Mermaid Heads Back to Theaters With Singalong Version BY JODEE BROWN PUBLISHED 14 HOURS AGO
A singalong version of The Little Mermaid will soon hit select theaters across the United States to further engage audiences of the fantasy musical.
Fans of The Little Mermaid will soon have a chance to go "Under the Sea" and enjoy a new experience of the film "For the First Time" thanks to a soon-to-be-released singalong version of the romantic musical comedy.
Per Collider, Disney plans to unveil the singalong edition of The Little Mermaid in select theaters across the U.S. on Aug. 25. No international release details have been released yet, though it's expected fans worldwide will also have the chance to join in on the fun. Singalong versions of films typically feature on-screen lyrics, allowing audiences to engage and sing each of the movie's notable songs, creating a karaoke-like atmosphere for moviegoers.
The live-action edition of The Little Mermaid features 15 songs, performed by multiple members of the cast including lead actor and Grammy-nominated singer Halle Bailey, as well as co-stars Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs and Melissa McCarthy. The songs were done by legendary composer Alan Menken, who also put together the Academy Award-winning music for the 1989 animated version of The Little Mermaid, alongside Howard Ashman and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The Little Mermaid's Theatrical Return Will Boost Box Office Numbers The pending theatrical release of the singalong version is another attempt by Disney to boost The Little Mermaid's box-office performance before its cinematic run ends. Made with a budget of up to $265 million, The Little Mermaid has so far earned $567.5 million at the global box office since its premiere this past May, becoming the second-most expensive and seventh-highest-grossing live-action remake in Disney history. Additionally, the film has enjoyed mostly positive reviews, attracting a 67% critical rating and 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Amid its solid box-office showing, The Little Mermaid has generated good returns in the video-on-demand market, becoming a popular choice for home viewers via iTunes and Google Play. Additionally, the digital and home releases of the film include several bonus features such as song breakdowns and a documentary led by director Rob Marshall, showing behind-the-scenes footage.
While there are no reported plans for a sequel to the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, Disney Junior plans a series based on Bailey's Ariel, which is set for release in 2024. Meanwhile, McCarthy and co-star Javier Bardem have pitched a potential spinoff based on their characters, Ursula and King Triton, chronicling their feud.
The singalong version of The Little Mermaid arrives on Aug. 25 while the film will be available for streaming via Disney+ on Sept. 6.

The Little Mermaid poster with Ariel, Triton, Flounder, and SebastianImage via Disney THE BIG PICTURE Disney plans to release a sing-along edition of The Little Mermaid in select US theaters, potentially boosting its box office performance. Sing-along versions allow audiences to engage with the film on a new level, making it a perfect fit for the beloved musical. The film faced a slow start but showed resilience, similar to Aladdin, which eventually reached over $1 billion worldwide. The success of previous Disney remakes bodes well for The Little Mermaid's box office potential.
Disney is heading back under the sea to provide a final boost to the box office performance of its live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. They've unveiled plans for a unique sing-along edition of the movie, slated for release in handpicked theaters throughout the United States starting on August 25th. While international release details haven't been disclosed as of now, it's highly probable, given the potential to give the film a final revenue surge before the end of its theatrical run. The film has already been released digitally and will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray and DVD on September 19.
Sing-along versions often include on-screen lyrics, allowing the audience to join in and sing along with the songs from the movie. It can be a great way to engage with the film on a new level, especially for fans who know the songs by heart, and given the popularity of The Little Mermaid, with its legendary lyrics from the acclaimed Alan Menken plus new additions from Lin-Manuel Miranda, the film is perfect for this sort of special attraction. Re-releasing musicals with singalong features have proven extremely popular in recent years, with the likes of Mamma Mia! and The Greatest Showman bringing audiences back in droves as their target audiences make fun evenings of the big-screen karaoke. The movie features iconic songs like "Under the Sea", "Part of Your World", but also "Scuttlebutt".
An Inauspicious Beginning The movie certainly didn't open strongly when it first premiered back in May and it struggled to stay afloat overseas initially, but the film showed impressive sea legs and it managed to hold on, giving Disney a boost during a time where its movies were certainly struggling to connect with audiences. The live-action adaptation of the beloved 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid made its domestic box office debut at the end of May, raking in $117 million.
These figures closely mirrored the stateside opening of Aladdin four years earlier, despite Aladdin being based on a more widely recognised intellectual property. Notably, Aladdin had a successful summer run, concluding its theatrical magic carpet ride with over $300 million in the United States and surpassing the $1 billion mark worldwide. This accomplishment placed Aladdin in the esteemed company of previous Disney live-action remakes like Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and The Lion King.
The Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey in the central role, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. You can catch our interview with the pair down below.

The release of The Little Mermaid this year had been an event that had everybody talking. From critics to general audiences to everybody on social media who can form a coherent sentence, there was no one who did not have an opinion to share about the live-action adaptation of the beloved classic. The 2023 movie starred Halle Bailey, and her casting as Ariel had sent out ripples of controversy. An African-American mermaid who had vibrant red locs seemed unimaginable to many, and a sizable crowd had decided to boycott the movie too. However, the film did hold ground at the theaters and grossed a billion dollars worldwide. Bailey received widespread praise for her acting chops and her glorious voice, which she used to sing the multiple iconic songs from the movie.
Disney’s Re-release of The Little Mermaid
Disney will be re-releasing a sing-along version of The Little Mermaid, considering that the movie can be thought of as a musical. Recently a number of musical films are being rereleased as singalong versions, like Mamma Mia, for example. The movie features songs from the legendary Alan Menken and a few new additions from Lin Manuel Miranda, who last collaborated with Disney on Encanto. The film is going to feature songs like “Kiss The Girl”, “Scuttlebutt”, “Under the Sea” etc.
If you are a fan of The Little Mermaid, love singalongs, and want to re-experience the magic of the mermaid at the theaters again, you should definitely visit the theaters to watch this version. Halle Bailey is one of the sole reasons you should watch this film, Jonah Hauer-King is also extremely personable and attractive in the movie, which many fans have pointed out as of late.

“The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure.

Posted on August 22, 2023 by Alessia Dunn3 Comments
We can't think of anything less magical--or unbelievable--than this. It looks like we are about to go back under the sea!
The most recent live-action The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey has been highly discussed prior to it even debuting at the box office, mostly due to the choice of changing the skin color of Ariel compared to her appearance in the animated film. That being said, the rest of the movie is relatively similar to the animated one in terms of storyline.
While many fans were highly supportive, others immediately took to Twitter and other social media platforms to express their frustrations about the casting of the Disney Princess character. The hashtag #NotMyAriel immediately began to trend.
The Walt Disney Company, Jodi Benson (the original voice for Ariel in the 1989 animated classic), Lin-Manuel Miranda, one of the producers and composers for the upcoming live-action remake, and others spoke out defending Disney’s decision and Bailey’s casting of the character.
Even with all of the chatter, it seems that the majority of viewers chose to stay away from the film, as it floundered in the box office. The Little Mermaid comes as Disney’s latest remake of an animated classic that endeavors to follow the massive success of The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast, all of which grossed over $1 billion.
The Little Mermaid held a $250 million production budget and a $140 million marketing spend, and according to Deadline, would need to gross $560 million at the global box office to break even.
The remake took home $567.51 million from the global box office ($297.19 million domestic and $270.32 million international), the movie will likely turn an extremely thin profit depending on its home release sales. Now, it seems Disney is doing what they can to increase that profitability with another version of The Little Mermaid hit theaters on August 25.
It has been confirmed “Disney is heading back under the sea to provide a final boost to the box office performance of its live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. They’ve unveiled plans for a unique sing-along edition of the movie, slated for release in handpicked theaters throughout the United States starting on August 25th. While international release details haven’t been disclosed as of now, it’s highly probable, given the potential to give the film a final revenue surge before the end of its theatrical run. The film has already been released digitally and will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray and DVD on September 19.”
Collider continued, “Sing-along versions often include on-screen lyrics, allowing the audience to join in and sing along with the songs from the movie. It can be a great way to engage with the film on a new level, especially for fans who know the songs by heart, and given the popularity of The Little Mermaid, with its legendary lyrics from the acclaimed Alan Menken plus new additions from Lin-Manuel Miranda, the film is perfect for this sort of special attraction.”
Re-releasing musicals with singalong features has proven extremely popular in recent years, with the likes of Mamma Mia! and The Greatest Showman bringing audiences back in droves as their target audiences make fun evenings of the big-screen karaoke. It seems Disney is hoping to see a resurgence with the return of their live-action The Little Mermaid coming back to theaters in an all-new way.
Disney Live-Action Backlash Over the past few years, we have seen Disney attempt to be much more diverse and inclusive in all aspects of the company, including casting choices. This, for some, has recently gone too far — and now Disney is seemingly looking to make it right.
Previously, Disney launched the Reimagine Tomorrow initiative, stating that “We haven’t always got it right.” This came after the Cast Member dress code changed when it came to the “Disney Look,” allowing Cast Members to express themselves more while at work. On top of that, we have already heard of the progress coming along on the new Princess and the Frog attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, that is replacing Splash Mountain’s racist undertone scenes due to the Song of the South IP, as well as changing the storyline on both Walt Disney World Resort’s and Disneyland Resort’s Jungle Cruise attraction to ensure cultural appropriation disappears.
Most recently, the upcoming Snow White live-action film starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot has hit some heat. There are two main instances that caused fans to outrage with the upcoming film. Firstly, there will be no dwarfs in the film, but seven magical creatures, which deviate from the iconic story that Walt Disney himself created on screen. The second comes from an interview where Zegler and Gadot say that Snow White will not have a prince charming, and there is no one that needs to save her.
At this point, fans accused Disney of creating a totally different film, and creating a pseudo-feminist film that makes Snow White’s ideals and behavior be seen as wrong, creating a corrupt narrative for females who may dream of finding their “prince charming”, or behaving as more of a softer character, than someone who is constantly trying to be the leader, as Zegler said Snow White will now be. With this, fans have been outraged at Disney pushing their “woke” agenda.
At the same time #BoycottDisney became quite the popular discussion on Twitter.
Following the extreme backlash, Zegler took to Twitter to try and have Disney fans be more kind towards her. She wrote, “i love you very much. forever and ever. remember to be kind. treat each other with patience and empathy. remember that you are loved unconditionally, no matter your mistakes, no matter your misunderstandings. you deserve it. you deserve love. you deserve to live without fear. x” as well as “i hope the world becomes kinder” on August 11, 2023.
Some of the comments on the Tweets pushed again that Snow White’s narrative should not be changed, “If you really “love” us so much, then listen. There are legitimate concerns brought forward by others. Why aren’t you fighting for a true adaptation of Snow White? It’s okay for girls to want true love.”, while others were much more hateful, calling Zegler “brownish mud”.
