‘There’s no reason to make this film’: ‘The Little Mermaid’ director says what we’re all thinking about Disney’s live-action remakes

To quote Marge Simpson, it’s true — but he shouldn’t say it. While discussing why he fought hard to offer up a different take on The Little Mermaid than what we’ve seen before, the man behind the latest of Disney’s never-ending live-action remakes has slightly stuck his foot in his mouth by putting into words the question I — and many other fans — have been asking the Mouse House for years.

While speaking to IndieWire about The Little Mermaid‘s many changes from the beloved 1989 original, Rob Marshall admitted what his first thought was when the project landed in his lap. And, surprisingly, it was much the same as the rest of us: what exactly is the point of this new film existing? While the world might still be waiting on an answer, Marshall himself tried to give it purpose by revisiting the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale.
