I didn't think the little mermaid remake would result in me learning about ghost crabs from the internet, but here we are, and honestly, I'm happy I learned this
I wonder how many dumb people will try to “save” ghost crabs by throwing them into the water after watching this movie. A similar thing happened when Finding Nemo came out with people buying clownfish just to flush them down the toilet.
@@ctshaffer1999im surprised I didn’t learn about this sooner, probably because I was too young in 2003 to hear about it but that’s actually crazy. No one thought to explain the sewage system to kids wanting to do this?! Or were parents buying these fish then getting pissed when they found out what was happening lol
I love seeing my favorite characters corrupted into photorealistic soulless cgi abominations. "Remember Sebastian? Well here's a generic photorealistic crab who cannot physically express emotion!"
@@PlatinumAltaria My man is also screaming on the outside: he is depicted as a ghost crab, where the species in the subfamily are terrestrial. He cannot live under the sea. He could drown.
I feel like there was a good reason why Disney chose to make The Little Mermaid using stylised, cartoony line-drawn animation and not horrifying, uncanny hyperrealism. But no, it was probably just because of technological limitations.
It takes obsessive, passionate people to make a hand drawn animated movie. CG movie making has gotten so accessible that any pack of rascals can slap one together. Of course once in awhile you get obsessive, passionate people with computers, and we wind up with absolute treasure like Arcane and Spiderverse and Puss in Boots
I can’t deny how amused I am by these photorealistic depictions of Ariel’s pals . . . It’s like someone did art on Twitter as a joke eight years ago like ‘Disney Princesses Modernized’, but it’s not a joke anymore, Disney is _serious_ 🤣
I hate that they call it live action. This remake went through more computer work than the animated film did lol. How the animals look is enough proof that this movie is going to suck. Flounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle have no emotions. They're so overly realistic that when a sad scene does happen, you won't be able to tell. Good job Disney. Really bringing in the magic here.
Disney hasn't learned anything since the Lion King remake. Simba, without any expression on his face, looking at his father's dead body doesn't do anything to me at all.
Sebastian really sticks out because he does the duty of being both the comic relief and one of the original movie’s main emotional hearts. So you want to make sure that he can express every emotion. I loved Sebastian in the original movie, you can tell he wants the best for Ariel and can understand his want to be respected by both Ariel and the king, but it’s more centred on him than what Ariel wants.
Maybe is a pun to the fact that he is a Cape Gannet in this version and Gannets are abble to dive deep and stays for some time underwater to catch Fish. 👍🏻
Adam made a point here, WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NOT GO THE HAPPY FEET ROUTE!?! The managed to make every animal in those films have personality. Not as good as a 2d character obviously but they weren’t just actual penguins and stuff.
Right! It’s embarrassing that almost 20 year old movies nailed the realistic animal cgi and Disney cant get it right in 2023. It’s a fine tech demo but a shit movie
I think it's actually between his legs. Two legs on one side, two on the other, and some of the seaweed is in front of the third leg. Still dumb as shit though.
they go for realism’s and don’t even get aquatic life right legit sebastian is a type of ghost crab a crab well known for not being able to live underwater.
Turtles hold their breath underwater but in Nemo they were talking underwater. I guess Pixar wasn't trying to be realistic but a movie about a mermaid singing underwater isn't trying to be realistic either.
I'm now scared to see what Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley are going to look like in the upcoming Lilo and Stitch remake. Chris Sanders has a unique art style that only animation can translate so perfectly. This photorealistic CGI trend is going to make them look hideous.
They’ll most likely look like supernatural horror characters (mostly Stitch) that should belong in a Blumhouse production and not a Disney production. Unless Disney wanted to produce the film with Blumhouse.
I don't think we'll be getting ugly redesigns. I'm pretty sure for that one they'll just make 3D models of the classics and texture them realistically. Like with Pinnochio but more like Detective Pikachu this time. It'll be the wholly different issue of the characters looking uncanny because they weren't designed to look appealing that way.

i’ve never once looked at a fish and thought “wow i wish this thing could talk and laugh with me!” like i don’t understand the decision to make these characters so realistic when the movie its based off of has some of the cartooniest depictions of sea creatures you can imagine. ughhhhhh
I find it funny how they didnt make Flounder a flounder or a baby grouper considering his size... And they made skuttle the seagull a booby and they made sebastian a species of crab that can drown under water is all comedic for me they didnt care for this AT ALL!!!
@@cibby6155 yea but there are more expressive animals they couldve chosen. And there are ways one can anthropromophize animals without making them explicitly human. Disney is just choosing to be lazy
The fish he is portrayed as is called a "Sargent Major" a very common reef fish in Florida, and Caribbean. They are a type of Damselfish and not at all related to flounders
@@squillamsquallace2468 Yes I know, his name is flounder though. That’s why it doesn’t make sense. It’s like naming a bird character “Toucan” but it’s actually a pigeon.
I mean, live action Cars would be interesting. I found an animated video of a humanoid McQueen and Doc once and I kinda liked it. Just make Owen Wilson drive a Dodge Viper and call it a day. But the way Disney makes movies nowadays, I just know they'll make Sally race the Piston Cup
Gotta love how they made Sebastian a tropical ghost crab to give him more expressive eyes, but completely overlook that this species of crab cannot survive underwater 😂
Realism was never going to work with Sebastian and Flounder. Expressiveness aside, they removed those two SO far from the actual animals to make them look appealing in the first place. No crab has a head like Sebastian, they just gave him it 'cause crab faces are horrifying.
Man, I'm really looking forward to the day they do a realistic CGI remake of The Brave Little Toaster, and have these realistically rendered appliances but with no faces or any other human-like expressions. Because that would be unrealistic.

“Hey Tomar what if you had a mermaid friend that went on silly adventures with you and you were a disturbingly realistic-looking cartoon fish creature.”
about the weird griany filter on mccarthy, it looks like it's a photo retouching trick, basically when the photoshop guy (lol) is taking off the blemishes and imperfections in the face it ends up looking weird and too smooth, bc as they remove blemishes pores and other natural details also disappear, so the finishing touch is to add a filter/texture thingy on the skin so at quick glance the skin has pores again. of course, when you zoom in looks VERY strange
Honestly why even bother with the character posters anyway? I never understood that. Are they trying to make it like Marvel where it's like "YOU'LL GET TO SEE THIS CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE WOW AREN'T YOU EXCITED???"
I think the idea is you see your favorite characters from the original and how they've been corrupted into a photorealistic cgi abomination. Nostalgia hounds eat that shit up.
There's a lot to unpack here but why is Scuttle the seagull UNDERWATER on the poster? Like, I know they're sea scavengers but that bird is in the depths.
Cause they ruined Ariel by making her never go to the surface so he needs to go underwater to serve their own shitty story that ACTUALLY makes her go up just for Eric. They made their own strawman reality to fight it 😂 What an absolute disaster...
Reminds me of the gags in classic Spongebob where the characters would turn into inanimate models of real sea creatures whenever they came to the surface.
The fact the Mario movie put more effort into the Cheep Cheeps by making them actually faithful to the games (as well as the Maw Ray eel from Mario 64) really says a lot about what those horrendous and hideous realistic designs Disney is doing for Flounder, Scuttle, and especially Sebastian.
I kinda feel bad for the artists who were given the task of "make clearly meant to be cartoon characters look "realistic", I wouldn't know what to do either
If I had a nickel for every Disney project where Jacob Tremblay plays an underwater creature, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
I've only seen him in Doctor Sleep (don't remember Room all too well) and I thought he was pretty good in that so maybe he's just getting his quick Disney checks.

2:39 On a related note, that species of crab that Sébastien in that movie, is known as a Ghost crab, but the issue is ghost crabs don't live in deep water, they live in shore areas along beaches

Sebastian in this live action version actually looks like the live action version of Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob, I mean it’s like they borrowed the eyes from the character and used it on Sebastian!,
Looking at JUST the thumbnail I thought he was going to react to crab rave Also edit: What are they going to do with younger Ursula towards the end of the film bc with body positivity I think they are going to make some ahem “creative decisions…”
Those posters looks like something you would find in an acquarium that decided to make some special display with the real life counterpart of the animated character, only that instead of turning around and go "ooohaaah" to actual real life animals behind glass I'm watching ugly ass 3D renderings... also, any chance to see a reaction to Disney Wish's trailer?
I'm sure they just don't give a fuck at all. They shit out these movies with very minimal effort, if it makes money it makes money, if it doesn't it doesn't.
They look like you told an AI to make you posters for a realistic Little Mermaid and you're like "Huh, pretty good, some weird stuff" and then you dump them. But they released them.
@@michaelstrong5383 That wasn't really the same kind of thing as these; because that was an original film based on the same IP, whereas these are shot-for-shot abominations of Disney musicals. Same deal with Maleficent; there was at least one original thought in the production.
@@jeffbecket2311 You'd think that, but I've seen people be nostalgic for, and try to defend, some pretty crappy movies. I've seen people seriously vouch for Caillou on the basis of childhood nostalgia.
Honestly I don't think he's disturbing-he reminds me of the Crab Rave crabs. My issue is that he isn't very expressive like the real Sebastian is, so he'll be less fun to watch and harder to cheer on.
I feel like one of the reasons ugly Sonic got the complete design overhaul was because Sonic has been the meme 'bad' thing for a long time now and I suspect Sega wouldn't want a movie released remembered as the thing to dunk on for the next 30 years. Disney execs know people hate these designs, probably including the animators fighting for their lives to make them work alright, but it will make 1 billion dollar thanks to normies so they don't have to do anything. Normies will still think of the company favourably, so...
This deep into the reboot era and you genuinely have to wonder: Why don't they just, y'know... *animate* the remakes? Like full 3d animation? The stuff modern Disney is known for?.."
I could never imagine taking my child into a movie where the promotional posters have one of the most terrifiying creatures I've ever seen on it. I thought the kids were already scared by the Lion King 2019, why make something even more unsettling.
Not that this would have saved the movie or anything, but if they were gonna choose a real fish to base his design on, why didn't they choose a pufferfish or porcuinefish for Flounder? They look pretty goofy in real life and I think you could get away with being somewhat expressive with that kind of design.

Jesus Wept, I thought they'd learn from the horrendous Lion King posters...
Looking at JUST the thumbnail I thought he was going to react to crab rave
Also edit: What are they going to do with younger Ursula towards the end of the film bc with body positivity I think they are going to make some ahem “creative decisions…”
If you mean Vanessa, they did cast a thinner women to play her
Like I've said before, I think the worst part of sebastian is the big lower lip made from the mouth parts crabs normally have, that shift and open.
no wonder there is a mental health crisis among kids in this "modern age"
Those posters looks like something you would find in an acquarium that decided to make some special display with the real life counterpart of the animated character, only that instead of turning around and go "ooohaaah" to actual real life animals behind glass I'm watching ugly ass 3D renderings... also, any chance to see a reaction to Disney Wish's trailer?
Sebastian looks like mr.krabs
Why does Sebastian just look like the crab from crab rave?
I saw picture of flounder just casually scrolling and my first thought was "I'm gonna be sick" it's so ugly
I'm sure they just don't give a fuck at all. They shit out these movies with very minimal effort, if it makes money it makes money, if it doesn't it doesn't.
0:53 yo! That female Scuttle aint going to breath under water. That's whack!!!
Crazy how it seems like Melissa McCarthy's going to be the best part of this
God I hope so. I hope they don't ruin her like they did Scar.
Fr I’m liking the Ursula scenes so far
There's just no way this film is gonna do well like Lion King 2019. Like NO WAY IN HELL!
i can totally see a YongYea video about this topic coming up in like 6 hours^^
omg that crab with weird eyes reminds me of Mr. Krabs
They look like you told an AI to make you posters for a realistic Little Mermaid and you're like "Huh, pretty good, some weird stuff" and then you dump them. But they released them.
They were planning to make this long before Lion King. Blame Beauty and the Beast for making a billion.
As much as I hate that Beauty and the Beast remake, I think the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie is more to blame.
@@michaelstrong5383 That wasn't really the same kind of thing as these; because that was an original film based on the same IP, whereas these are shot-for-shot abominations of Disney musicals. Same deal with Maleficent; there was at least one original thought in the production.
@@PlatinumAltaria Okay, that's a good point.
@@michaelstrong5383 true
The Beauty and Beast one was actually good but now I wish it didn’t exist bc this one is a dumpster fire
'Where that cloaca at?' Had me dead. XD
in 20 years people will feel nostalgic for this disturbing crab^^
It'll be forgotten and archived as a really weird period for Disney
@@jeffbecket2311 You'd think that, but I've seen people be nostalgic for, and try to defend, some pretty crappy movies. I've seen people seriously vouch for Caillou on the basis of childhood nostalgia.
Honestly I don't think he's disturbing-he reminds me of the Crab Rave crabs. My issue is that he isn't very expressive like the real Sebastian is, so he'll be less fun to watch and harder to cheer on.
"I'll watch it just to clown on it."
*just wait until the "Finding Nemo" "Live action" movie*
Why is no one complaining about the color of Ariel's hair? It looks so drab, come on give like a bright cherry red or something
Can we bully the creators into pulling an Ugly Sonic and redesigning these eldritch horrors?
I feel like one of the reasons ugly Sonic got the complete design overhaul was because Sonic has been the meme 'bad' thing for a long time now and I suspect Sega wouldn't want a movie released remembered as the thing to dunk on for the next 30 years. Disney execs know people hate these designs, probably including the animators fighting for their lives to make them work alright, but it will make 1 billion dollar thanks to normies so they don't have to do anything. Normies will still think of the company favourably, so...
i wish😢
“How can we take all the charm and magic out of our IPs.”
When the posters look like aquarium adverts
Is Adam going back to the process of his Lion King review?
Everyone's Clownfishing on them?
I see they didn't learn their lesson from Lion King 2019... *Sigh*
WHY WAS THIS HOW I LEARNED DAVEED DIGGS IS SEBASTIAN HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MOVIEIIEIEIEIEI
im willing to bet Sebastian's poster is just an AI image they touched up in photoshop
Lmao theyre fucking HORRIFYING
This deep into the reboot era and you genuinely have to wonder:
Why don't they just, y'know... *animate* the remakes? Like full 3d animation? The stuff modern Disney is known for?.."
You mean, make real effort? You sweet summer child 😂
I loved flounder and sebastian when I was in kindergarden. Seeing those ones so young would probably leave me with nightmares
@Bread And Circuses because I was kindergardener?
Fr
are they also remaking the dick poster in realistic CGI =?
It looks so disgusting some of them, who are taking those decisions??
How Adum felt about The Lion King I feel about The Little Mermaid. This just hurts my soul
I could never imagine taking my child into a movie where the promotional posters have one of the most terrifiying creatures I've ever seen on it. I thought the kids were already scared by the Lion King 2019, why make something even more unsettling.
The new Sébastien looks like Jonathan Banks
Not that this would have saved the movie or anything, but if they were gonna choose a real fish to base his design on, why didn't they choose a pufferfish or porcuinefish for Flounder? They look pretty goofy in real life and I think you could get away with being somewhat expressive with that kind of design.
Sebastian looks like Krusty Krab from Spongebob Squarepants
Except they did that for the sake of a joke. Here they're just cutting corners.
Mr. Krabs.
