The Little Mermaid is swimming towards a digital release! Disney’s live-action adaptation of the classic mermaid tail will be available to on Prime Video and other digital platforms starting July 24, per Amazon.
A modern reimagining of the fairytale, The Little Mermaid, stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, a spirited mermaid who swims to shore (against her father’s wishes), saves a prince from drowning, and makes a deal with a sea witch, Ursula, to become human. Jonah Hauer-King plays Ariel’s love interest, Prince Eric.
Melissa McCarthy stars as Ursula and Javier Bardem plays King Triton, Ariel’s father and Ursula’s estranged brother. Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina and Jacob Tremblay round out the cast as Ariel’s friends Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle.
The Little Mermaid debuted in theaters over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Since its May release, the Rob Marshall-directed movie has raked in more than $550 million worldwide becoming the seventh-biggest film of 2023. It’s unclear when The Little Mermaid will be released on Disney+.
In the meantime, audiences will officially be able to stream The Little Mermaid on Prime Video ($19.99) starting next Monday, July 24, at 9:00 p.m. PT. The movie will also be available on other digital platforms like Apple TV.
