Four incredible facts about the film

🤩Actress Halle Bailey was one of the first to audition for the role of Ariel. Her performance of "Part of Your World," made director Rob Marshall cry. Melissa McCarthy also cried when she first heard this song.

🤩"The Little Mermaid" confessed jokingly that when she was recreating the famous hair scene (when Ariel swims to the surface and flips her hair), she almost broke her neck because of the weight of the hair. Ariel's hairstyle was made of 30-inch hair extensions, which took 14-15 hours to install. The total cost of the wig was over $150,000.


🤩According to designer Colleen Atwood, all the decorations of the underwater people are made from marine elements. Designers particularly aimed for them not to resemble familiar items for humans. For example, the inspiration for King Triton's crown came from a magazine publication with photos of shark teeth. The mermaid costume also changed ― shells were removed and it acquired "fish-like properties."

🤩Singer Lizzo wanted to play Ursula and even posted a video on Instagram singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls." But the role went to Melissa McCarthy. When the actress met the singer at one of the interviews, she was surprised that she won this "competition." To prepare for the role, the actress consulted with a drag queen (the appearance and behavior of Ursula in the original animated film were inspired by the famous American drag queen Divine).
