Alan Menken, composer for TheLittleMermaid, explains why the 'Daughters of Triton' song will not be included in the live-action adaptation.
The recently released trailers and exclusive clips for the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid have flooded fans with fond memories of the classic story. The movie has already provided a plethora of nostalgic references from the animated film it was based on, recreating some scenes that many fans may remember.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The "Daughters of Triton" song, which was featured in the animated version's opening sequence, introduces King Triton's seven daughters, including Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana, and Ariel, whom Sebastian described as someone who has a voice like a bell.
"I think the thought process was we didn't need it in this particular version. And we definitely wanted the film to start with a much more of a live-action feel of the ocean and meeting Ariel, and then we wait a little bit, make you wait until we get to 'Part of Your World.' And I think that was, you know, it was an amazing choice because it just builds the power and anticipation. And part of that is also knowing you're adapting something that's already beloved.
The Little Mermaid cast members also include Simone Ashley as Indira, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Lorena Andrea as Perla, and Kajsa Mohammar as Karina. The film will also feature the voices of Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, and Awkwafina as Scuttle. You can check out Ariel and Sebastian's "Under the Sea" clip below.
