It's not because Ariel is black....it's because Disney wishes to remake a movie that is only a little over thirty years old for the sake of making her black. Like everything else, it's superifical and one in which, like the rest of the Disney live-action remakes that have been pissed out over these past couple of years, fans of the traditional Disney studios despair because it is something now that would make poor Walt spin in his grave. It does not entertain; it does not venture; there is no daring; it only now serves to appeal and to monopolize a giant portion of the entertainment industry.
