Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.” Lin-Manuel Miranda has a message to the trolls who have targeted their hate at Halle Bailey, star of the live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” — watch Brandy in “Cinderella.” “I’m old enough to remember that being a game changer for my generation,” Miranda told me during a Zoom chat from the L’Attitude conference in San Diego, where he was making an appearance with American Express to support Latino small business owners. “And Rob Marshall was the choreographer on that and is now the director of the movie. I’m really thrilled by that symmetry.” Besides, Miranda thinks the positivity and excitement around the new film far outweigh the negativity. Just take a look at the sneak peek of Bailey singing a snippet of “Part of Your World,” which racked up 104 million global views within days of its debut at the D23 Expo. “I’m not interested in giving them any oxygen because I know the lives that are going to be changed. Halle is perfect for the part,” said the Tony winner, who wrote four songs for the movie with composer Alan Menken. “She is going to blow them away. If that’s the thing that makes you mad, then stay mad. But examine your choices.”

Rachel Zegler is calling out online users sharing negative comments about Halle Bailey’s casting as Ariel, in the highly anticipated ‘The Little Mermaid’ film.The 21-year-old actress, who is set to appear on screen as Disney’s Snow White in the upcoming live-action remake, took a moment to respond to one of the comments comparing the two characters on social media.“Hey disney, I actually think that rachel zegler is a good choice for the role of Snow White because she looks just like her,” one person wrote on Twitter, adding, “But Halle Bailey is #NotMyAriel. She can be the Little Mermaid on Broadway if she wishes, but not in a movie.”Rachel showed support for Halle by commenting, “If you don’t support my girl halle, who is the perfect ariel, you don’t support any of us.”And while some people have said they don’t agree with the casting for The Little Mermaid, Disney fans are thrilled to watch Halle Bailey on the big screen, as she already proved she has everything it takes to give the perfect performance, showing her incredible voice in the latest thriller for the film.Another supporter of Halle is none other than Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in 1989.

Out of the sea and into our hearts.

Zack Sharf Trevor Noah has joined the growing number of celebrities fighting back against racist backlash to Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid,” which stars singer Halle Bailey as the mermaid princess Ariel. Some fans are upset that a Black actor is headlining the new movie, to which Noah responded: “Really, people — we’re doing this again?” Addressing claims that Bailey looks “nothing like” the Ariel in Disney’s 1989 animated movie, Noah said on “The Daily Show” that such an accusation is bogus. “Nothing like? They both have the tail, they both have the red [hair],” the host said. “Once again, a bunch of internet racists are upset that a fictional character is being played by a Black person. This is so ridiculous,” Noah continued. “And honestly, I don’t know what the big deal is. You guys realize that Nemo was Black too, right? Yeah! The whole movie was about a fish that can’t find his dad.”

Trevor Noah does not have time for any racist backlash surrounding the recently released trailer for “The Little Mermaid”.
