Yeah, it's like when they tweaked Pirates of the Caribbean to add Jack Sparrow and Barbossa to the ride. Except they clashed with the more stylised animatronics already in use.

But your OP is a bit lacking. What is your opinion on it?

The only reason you go on that ride is for the guide's dad jokes. Nothing else matters.

Only thing I really remember about that ride is standing in line in the scorching June heat and mom complaining about the people who had FastPass.

Sounds like a pretty nonissue to be upset about.

The Internet Outrage Monster is like Galactus, its hunger can never be sated.
The worst is the Outrage at the Outrage, where I don't even hear about a thing until the Outrage at the Outrage comes along. Like when the Little Mermaid casting was announced and all I heard was people complaining about the complaining about the casting. We need to come up with a threshold, like 'there has to be this much noise before we care that people are saying a thing.'
I don't know what that metric would be.

I don't see why Disney would waste money giving ride characters you only see once or twice a visit backstories that have more detail than some movies.

Aren't they making a live-action Little Mermaid for some reason? If they want it to be accurate, the cast will have to be mostly of Danish origin, because the story whose title they borrowed was written by Hans Christian Anderson, who was Danish.
Or we could just cast people who are the most talented regardless of race....

Man, one outrage at Disney per thread. We went over this ages ago.
Here's the cliff notes:
- There is no such thing as mermaids.
- As such, there is no such thing as 'accurate'.
- There are like dozens of adaptations of this story including the animated Disney movie. This one movie isn't going to ruin anything.
- The woman they cast is fine. Definitely not worth starting another argument about.
