Film critics fall for Little Mermaid's new Ariel
She summed up the film by writing: "Nice casting can't cover up the ugly visuals and lack of creative risk."The live action remake of the beloved 1989 adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's story also uses a large dose of computer animation to bring the underwater world to life.
"The animals are all now, of course, photorealistic," Loughrey added. "It's odd to think they spent so much money on making Flounder look like a real fish when they could have just bought a Big Mouth Billy Bass and achieved the same range of facial expressions."writing that aside from Bailey, "almost everything else about this flops about like a dying fish on deck".
She said things that were cute or funny when done in cartoon form "are no longer cute or funny when done by computer-generated sea-life approximates with no recognisable facial expressions". She added: "Whole sequences of character interaction fondly remembered from its 1989 predecessor… are rendered lifeless by CGI. And you'd be lucky to make much of it out through the murk of the underwater cinematography anyway."
