“I think for me there is something special about this. If we have not been parents, we have all had parents. We’ve all struggled with what that is. We’ve all longed to find out what life is like.” “I want, which is really the key story of this, I feel like it’s more modern than the original, just in terms of really forging the life that you choose to have for yourself,” McCarthy said.

She continued: “And I think that’s so relevant and necessary for today, that I think it will bring a lot of joy to people.” Like all of Disney’s live-action remakes, The Little Mermaid will follow the classic story while making some modern twists. The film will also include music from Disney’s Oscar-winning 1989 animated musical classic, as well as four new songs.
