Is Mickey Mouse on Team Meghan?
One reviewer who watched the premiere of Disney’s new adaptation, “The Little Mermaid,” says Page Six dipped a toe (or fin?) into the Megxit debacle, and even included what looked like a dig at Kate Middleton. .
On the one hand, the critic says, the film draws a series of subtle but plausible comparisons between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and the two lead characters Ariel (who is Black in the new version) and Prince Eric (who is white). ), On the other hand.
But one scene in particular looks quite realistic. “Ariel sacrificed her voice to get to the surface and [meet] Prince Eric. He can’t speak, so he’s trying to guess his name,” they said. His first guess is Diana. His second guess is Catherine, but then [Ariel gives a disgusted] reaction, it [concludes] ‘Okay, definitely not Catherine.’”
Our cinematic spy says there’s nothing in the film’s internal logic to explain the mermaid’s overreaction otherwise. They add: “Disney would be dishonest to imply that these name choices were accidental.” (Needless to say, Diana is the name of Prince Harry’s deceased mother, and Catherine is the full name of her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, aka Kate Middleton, who is widely seen as Markle’s real-life nemesis. ongoing saga).
Meanwhile, in her infamous 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle said she identified herself with the mermaid.
During “Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special”, she recalled watching the classic 1989 animation during her downturn in the UK following her 2018 wedding to Harry. “I said, ‘Oh my God, she’s falling in love with the prince and she’s losing her voice because of it,'” Markle said.
Halle Bailey plays Ariel in the new suspect movie, while Johan Hauer-King plays Prince Eric. Melissa McCarthy plays the villain Ursula this time.
Markle was ashore Tuesday night and was honored at the Women’s Foundation Gala in New York.
The movie hits theaters on May 26.
