The live-action version of the movie “The Little Mermaid”, which is scheduled to be released in Japan on June 9, 2023, will be released in the United States first. The box office revenue for the first three days exceeded that of the live-action version of “Aladdin,” making it a strong start.
The live-action version of “The Little Mermaid”, which is scheduled to be released in Japan on June 9th, will be released in theaters nationwide on May 26th (local time).
The box office revenue for the three days including the opening day of this work recorded about 95.5 million dollars (about 13.4 billion yen)! It got off to a strong start, surpassing the live-action version of Aladdin released in 2019.

Unlike Disney’s animation, the pros and cons of using a black person to play the role of Ariel have been controversial. However, while there are few black Disney princesses, the casting of this time has become a big topic, such as how happy black children are spread on SNS.

Along with the strong box office revenue, the singing voice of Harry, who plays the role of Ariel, has been praised one after another. To commemorate the release of the movie in the United States, a performance of the timeless classic “Part of Your World” that appears in the movie will be held at Disneyland Resort in California.
Harry dressed in a dress inspired by Ariel and gave a spectacular performance. She has a beautiful singing voice and perfectly embodies the character of a mermaid who longs for the human world.
2023 marks the 100th anniversary of Disney’s founding. I look forward to the release of the live-action version of The Little Mermaid in Japan.
