The nostalgia is real.
Bailey has spoken in the months leading up to the film's release about what it means to star as the film's titular character, Ariel, especially as a young Black woman. When her casting was first announced, there was racist backlash to the news of her taking on the role, which the young actress and musician has taken in stride.
“As a Black person, you just expect it and it’s not really a shock anymore,” Bailey told The Face regarding the initial backlash. "When [Chlöe and I] first signed to Parkwood,[Beyonce] was always like: ‘I never read my comments. Don’t ever read the comments.’ Honestly, when the teaser came out, I was at the D23 Expo [the biggest Disney fan event] and I was so happy. I didn’t see any of the negativity.
Twitter was quick to celebrate the new clip with fans of the original movie and Bailey chiming in with their excitement for the upcoming adaption. We've rounded up the best tweets, below.
