The movie succeeds not just as a piece of nostalgia but also as a “stunning film in it’s own right” says film critic Grace Randolph.

She went on to say that while it’s not perfect, the Disney magic is there and “should definitely be seen in the big screen.”

While some early criticism has been pointed towards the CGI and extended plot, but Bailey and Melissa McCarthy, who plays the coveted role of Ursula, portray their roles with so much power and emotion all is forgotten.

The Little Mermaid hits Australian Cinemas from May 25th and is also expected to be available on Disney+ shortly after.
