> remake a classic film of an iconic character with well known traits
Ah yes. Ariel and her well known traits:
* mermaid
* fascinated with the world above and it’s strange culture
* warm and cheerful friendships with aquatic life
* deeply connected to the white identity
Somehow I just know people wouldn’t be freaking out if she had a red tail or blonde hair.

People legitimately would like to change the race of the princess in the princess movie they're about to put on for their daughters; it's nice to be represented on the screen
