Netflix is known for either butchering or outright canceling our fantasy favorites, but it recently outdid itself by canceling a promised adaptation before it even began. This isn’t quite as criminal as its cancelation of shows like Warrior Nun, which remain popular despite the streamer’s lack of faith, but it’s enough to prove Netflix has learned exactly nothing from the continued fan campaigns.
Disney’s doing a much better job when it comes to fantasy, but its obsession with remaking its own animated classics is becoming old for many viewers. Despite this, The Little Mermaid feels like a clear victory, particularly when considered through the eyes of its intended audience: children. Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula is excellent, just a touch scary, and a far cry from the actress’ typical roles, and the film’s careful updating of its more old-fashioned elements brings it into the modern age.
