Halle Bailey's Performance Of "Part Of Your World" Feels Like Stepping Into A Disney Movie



When I was a little girl, my sister and I were obsessed with mermaids. The colorful tails, the ability to breathe underwater, the chance to swim with fish and dolphins and whales. Needless to say, we were equally as obsessed with The Little Mermaid. It was one of the first movies where I saw a girl really and truly go after what she wanted — and learn from her mistakes along the way.

When Disney first announced that they were remaking the iconic cartoon into a live-action story (the same way they did with Cinderella in 2015 and Beauty and the Beast in 2017), I was over the moon and something about the new images and clips are making me incredibly emotional. I'm just so excited to see this story come to life!

Disney just released the first full trailer for the film during the 95th Academy Awards on March 12, and it promises to be just as amazing as the original. Keep reading for everything you need to know about the movie and check back here for more updates.
