The live-action Little Mermaid remake is now available for online viewing, even as it continues its run in

popular digital retailers such as Amazon, Vudu, and Apple TV.
Whether you’re a fan of Disney’s live-action remakes or approach them with a critical eye, The Little
Mermaid has undoubtedly piqued your curiosity. If you opted to skip the theater experience and have
been eagerly awaiting an at-home watch party, your patience will be rewarded. Starting July 25, you can
purchase the film on digital platforms. For those who prefer physical copies, the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray,
and DVD versions will hit the shelves on September 19. While streaming enthusiasts may need to
exercise a bit more patience, rest assured that you’ll soon be able to enjoy the enchanting world of Ariel
\and her friends right from the comfort of your couch.
Where To Watch Original The Little Mermaid?
If you’re eager to relive the enchantment of the original Little Mermaid movie while awaiting the release
of the remake on Disney+, or if you wish to revisit it before diving into the live-action version, there are a
couple of options available. For Disney+ subscribers, streaming the original animated film is a treat, as it
comes as part of their subscription without any additional cost. On the other hand, non-subscribers can
still enjoy the film by renting or purchasing it from digital retailers such as Apple TV and Amazon.
Opting for a Disney+ subscription not only grants you access to the original film but also offers the
opportunity to watch its sequels and ABC’s The Little Mermaid Live! Additionally, when the live-action
remake arrives on Disney+ in the coming month or two, you’ll be all set to experience the magic once
more.
Is the Little Mermaid live-action movie worth seeing?
The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid made a big splash during its opening weekend, earning
approximately $163.5 million worldwide. Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy’s performances as Ariel and
Ursula garnered mixed reviews, with some characters shining while others, like Flounder and Scuttle, left
viewers uneasy. While the film showcased moments of underwater beauty, it also faced criticism for its
dim color palette, lackluster exploration of Prince Eric’s backstory, and average song additions.
Is The Little Mermaid coming to Disney+?
The Little Mermaid will inevitably make its way to Disney+ like other major Disney releases, but the exact
date remains uncertain. Based on previous releases, it may arrive as early as the end of August, but a
more probable timeframe is September, after its physical release on Blu-ray and DVD.
To prepare for the release and revisit the original film, you can subscribe to Disney+ for $7.99/month with
ads or $10.99/month without ads. Alternatively, you have the option to bundle it with Hulu (especially
beneficial if you already have a Hulu account) for just $9.99/month, essentially getting Disney+ for a mere
$2/month.
Can I watch The Little Mermaid at home?
For those who can’t wait for the streaming release, The Little Mermaid’s digital version offers an
opportunity to dive into the magical world of Ariel and her friends. Starting from July 25, the film will be
available for purchase on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Vudu. If you prefer
owning a physical copy, you can get it on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on Sept. 19. Keep an eye out
for rental details, too.
While streaming allows for casual viewing, true fans might find value in purchasing The Little Mermaid for
their digital or physical film collection. Along with the movie, the purchase includes exclusive bonus
features such as a sing-along version, song breakdowns, bloopers, and special featurettes, offering a
deeper and more immersive experience.
