The Little Mermaid Live! (ABC) -- 11/5/19
ABC has revived its Little Mermaid Live! production — and announced a cast.
Auli’i Cravalho (who voiced the title character in the hit film Moana) will play Ariel, singer and actress Queen Latifah is set to play Ursula, and reggae musician Shaggy will voice the crustacean Sebastian.
The production was first announced in 2017 and then temporarily shelved. The project is from The Wonderful World of Disney and ABC and will feature live musical performances the cast interwoven into a broadcast of the original feature film. Dubbed a “never-before-seen hybrid format” the show will “feature beautifully intricate sets and costumes, with music from the original.”
The project is not to be confused with Disney also working on a big-screen live-action version of The Little Mermaid starring teen actress Halle Bailey.
The Little Mermaid Live! will air on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 8 p.m.

I didn't really pay attention to what this was... I thought this was a full reenactment of the movie but basically they're playing the cartoon and then cutting to live performances just for the songs? That sounds a bit jarring, but I'll still watch with the kids.

I don’t even know what this is exactly. I’m recording for hell of and bc The Little Mermaid second fav Disney behind The Lion King, but the movie with live action bits? Including John Stamos as the very portly chef? No, I don’t think I want to see that and don’t want to see the actual movie on broadcast. I dunno...

Watching this live now....
.....It's at "Under the Sea". I really don't see what the point of this was. If they wanted to celebrate the 30th anniversary, then just show the full animated movie.
This really is just the animated movie with only the musical parts being the "live" parts, which are all SUBPAR to the actual movie.
