After watching the trailer for Halle Bailey’s The Little Mermaid, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter channeled Ariel effortlessly

One of the best things to get out of The casting of Halle Bailey as Ariel in the upcoming live-action remake of The little Mermaid see the reactions of the young women to the trailer. Moms shared their videos Black girls seeing the new Ariel for the first time, and it’s just magical to see their faces light up when they are portrayed in Disney’s The Mermaid. Even if the film doesn’t take place on display until 2023 I think we’ll probably see more Ariel costumes pop up, with Halloween just around the corner. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter, for example, is ready.

The To stalk Star tweeted a video of her 3-year-old daughter, Kaavia, living her best mermaid life, lounging around in her purple bikini and sparkly green mermaid tail, complete with a red wig, of course. Discover the atmosphere of Kaavia:

This hair pull is EVERYTHING. Gabrielle Union noted via hashtags that impersonation matters and the 3-year-old looked fabulous to channel Ariel’s energy, apparently after seeing Halle Bailey. to sing The little Mermaid trailer “Exactly once”. The actress also shared a video for instagram of Kaavia showing off her costume and dancing with her father, retired NBA star Dwyane Wade:

He also seemed to know that she looked good with that red hair, as she took some poses for her photographer mom! The video garnered many likes and replies from other celebrities and even caught the attention of Ariel herself, with Halle Bailey commenting:

Halle Bailey said it had been a emotional experience, see all videos young black women who react to seeing a black woman playing the classic princess. She even felt overwhelmed the first time you see yourself as Ariel !

Unfortunately, the actress saw a racist reaction towards Ariel played by a person of color but her the family helped him give him perspective about the importance of what you do. He also received Halle Bailey support of the original actress from Ariel Jodi Benson, as well as Japanese-American actress Diana Huey, who was there first non-white actress to play Ariel on a big stage.
