Her hair is an ugly color. It’s more brown than red. The leaked trailer is light years better than this new teaser. They’re trying to sabotage this movie’s success 

It's more orange than anything. Not sure why they didn't go for a deeper red.

While I can understand some of the criticisms with this TV spot, I'm still hyped for the movie. 

 

We need a full trailer, I'm tired of these teasers.

I saw some comments that mentioned how Disney may be going for a more realistic approach… colors may look muted, off, and dark right now because there’s not much light in the depths of the ocean and things may get more vibrant the closer the mermaids swim to the surface. It’s still a stupid artistic decision though.  This was supposed to be a bright and magical kids movie, not a Zack Snyder film.

No seriously I've seen a few of the Barbie mermaid movies and that's exactly what it reminded me of 

[QueenBLadyG]

I'm so excited!

My guess why the scenes we saw look dark and "dull" is because they looked dark and "dull" in the original too... Like...

Look at the two short parts from Under The Sea. Everything is instantly brighter and more colorful.

 

In the other scenes she's sitting in a cave... At night... Of course it's dark.

So no red hair at all confirmed.. 

 

They should've really booked Rihanna's hairstylist

The way you have some people complaining it's too dark and then others complaining some scenes are too bright and colourful.  It's almost as if people just love to complain.

true I was skeptical but am impressed so far with the delivery also Halle looks divine

[Cloudy]

The best part of all that spot was Melissa's Ursula laugh

 

Also why didn't they give her a big bow like the animated movie in the Kiss The Girl part? Why that plain and ugly headband?

[TheCheshireCat]

They really didn't send their best to the creative department for this one, I'm afraid.

I feel like if they had really nailed the CGI / Art Direction it would have made it much harder to blindly criticize the movie over Halle's casting, but some of these creative choices so far... where is the glam?! Where are the colors? Where is the spectacle?!!

And apparently her animal friends might be all hyper realistic too...

They are. There are pics out there and you can see flounder in the new trailer. He is right behind Ariel in the sunken ship.

[Cloudy]

I mean, I don't think it's fair to use a low quality screen cap because that's obviously going to look bad, but either way the CGI it's not looking cute.

 

Also I agree what's with the hair? Why isn't it more red?

 

I will say they should not have any excuse about looking like **** because underwater and blah blah because in recent years we've god our good fair share of underwater blockbusters. They should have just hired the people from Aquaman or Avatar

[FailSafe]

Way Of The Water outquality'd by thousand folds. What the **** was that cgi

 

[Delirious]

cant wait to waTCH this in the cinemas.

 

i will be supporting halle no matter the costs

That gif I am not a Disney adult so I was never seeing this, but it looks a mess. The Lion King did too and that made a bunch of money, so this should do fine. Flounder looks horrid.

[Bencharmer]

The bra looks like it was bought in a local gym departement 

 

[X~MoviePoP]

Im so worried about this film now. Theres so many things going against it

[dman4life]

With all of the controversy surrounding Halle Bailey's casting (which I think is perfect btw) Disney really should've gone all out to make sure everything was top notch. I'll still wait for the full trailer and of course the actual movie to make a full assessment.

It's so dumb why they didn't leave the sea shell bikini. What do these people think teenage girls wear at the swimming pool or at the beach? USA is so weird
