We speak to TheLittleMermaid director Rob Marshall and producer John DeLuca about honoring the animated Disney film, working with Alan Menken, and incorporating mermaid mythology:
Disney continues its streak of adapting hit animated classics into live-action epics with The Little Mermaid. Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton, is infatuated with the surface world, but mermaids are forbidden from exploring it due to the dangers of humans. However, Ariel breaks the rules and saves Prince Eric, whom she falls in love with. After a confrontation with her father, Ariel turns to the sea witch Ursula for help.
Rob Marshall: It's a different genre. So you can do something much differently than you did with an animated film. You can bring depth to it, you can bring more feeling, more scope, more story, and hopefully more emotion. That's what we were excited about. These characters it's sort of life or death experiences that they're dealing with. Things that they want so much.
The music in this film is magical. It captured me just as the original did back in '89. John, what was it like working with these two genius musical composers, Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda? I love what you guys do with Flounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle. I think Eric has a great song in this film, too. You guys captured the essence of the original characters that everyone fell in love with, but you make them completely your own. Can you talk to me about balancing that, Rob?
There are some really cool touches in this that I think add to the animated film that happened in '89. What inspired the inclusion of mythology, like the siren songs influencing the mermaids and people hearing about that stuff?
