The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid hit theaters in May and it’s got a lot of people talking.
We’ve seen new treats hit the Disney parks and we saw an attraction change in honor of the film. These 2 celebrities are already talking about a spin-off that many fans are hoping will come true.
YouGov released the results of a recent study they conducted about Disney Princesses. They surveyed 1000 adults in the U.S. asking various questions including a few related to The Little Mermaid. Let’s take a look at the findings.
Question 17 on the survey reads:
“The original song“Kiss the Girl” from “The Little Mermaid” was released in 1989 and includes the main character’s sidekick singing, “Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do. Possible she wants you, too. There is one way to ask her. It don’t take a word. Not a single word. Go on and kiss the girl.” Do you approve or disapprove of the original lyrics?”
You can see that 25% strongly approve while 29% somewhat approve. You can also see there is not a lot of difference in gender but there was quite a bit of difference in age range. For example, of ages 18-29, 32% strongly approved while only 25% of ages 45-64 and only 16% of ages 65+ strongly approved.
Question 18 read:
“The songwriter for the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” has said the lyrics for the song “Kiss the Girl” will be modified to reflect changing social attitudes toward consent. Do you think the song’s lyrics should be changed in the live-action remake?”
As you can see 44% of Disney adults responded that “no”, the lyrics should not be changed. It should be noted that 28% said they were not sure, this could be due to them not having the new lyrics available at the time of the survey.
Question 19 asked:
“The original song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” from “The Little Mermaid” was released in 1989 and includes the movie’s villain singing, “On land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word, and after all dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they’re not all that impressed with conversation…It’s she who holds her tongue who gets a man.” Do you approve or disapprove of the original lyrics?”
There was only 19% of people strongly approved, 27% somewhat approved and 16% somewhat disapproved. This time, there is a large difference between age gap here with 27% of ages 18-29 strongly approving while only 20% of ages 30-44 and 45-64 strongly approving and just 10% of 65+ strongly approving.
Question 20 read:
“The songwriter for the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” has said the lyrics for the song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” will be modified to reflect changing social attitudes toward gender roles. Do you think the song’s lyrics should be changed in the live-action remake?”
30% overall said that the lyrics should be changed but 45% said they shouldn’t. Ages 18-29 were closely split between yes at 41% and no at 42%. However, ages 45-64 had a large difference with 19% saying yes and 51% saying no.
It seems that Disney adults have a lot of thoughts on the live-action remake. For more Disney media news, be sure to follow AllEars.net.
