Who is your ideal choice for Ariel?
I'm torn... I'm kinda leaning towards Arianna Grande but I haven't really paid attention to her career. Looks-wise she seems like a good fit but I'm sure there are plenty of others!

shareAlyssa Milano 😁
shareShe is awesome and the original body model for Ariel! Pretty cool :)
shareYeah I know, that’s why I chose her. 😂 Shame she is too old for it now. Maybe she could play one of Ariel’s older sisters.
My other choice would be maybe Madelaine Petsch who plays Cheryl in Riverdale.
I just googled her name together with Ariel and this came up:

But I just saw now that the role of Ariel went to a black actress, some Halle Bailey. Don’t know who she is.
I just going to pick her for the same reasons.
Edit
Hard to say. She would have to resemble a teenager, though probably an actress in her late teens, early 20s, and have light skin and a pretty, youthful-looking face. The red hair and blue eyes can be added on if she doesn't have them naturally. There are several actresses that could fill this role, but there are a lot of factors involved, such as: interest, availability, and the ability to deliver the character of Ariel. That's not easy to do. While it's not difficult for some actresses to deliver the "rebellious, feisty teenager" vibe, there's a balance to it with Ariel. She has to not sound like a total, irredeemable brat. Ariel had faults, but she also did care about her friends and had a heart.
The worst thing they could do was hire another bored, stupid feminist like Emma Watson and have her reciting lines while waiting for the project to be over. We don't need another repeat of the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" crap-fest.
I agree with you on the ideal actress' requirements. I have watched The Little Mermaid so many times and not once did I not feel for Ariel in a negative way.
I have mixed feelings about Emma Watson in BatB. The movie itself was gorgeous but she didn't seem to be into it either. I thought her natural beauty and youthfulness was great for the role but there was no heart in it :(
If it were up to me I would have picked Emmy Rossum but that's for a different board XD

When it comes to the character Ariel from The Little Mermaid, the first physical attribute everyone thinks about is her long, flowing mermaid hair in a bright shade of red. Riverdale actress Madelaine Petsch has the exact same hair, which is why she would make the perfect Ariel in a live-action version of the film.share
