Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” has set a new record for the studio, with over 108 million global views.

With almost 108 million global views of its first complete trailer in the first 24 hours of release, Disney’s live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” has established a new milestone for the company. The teaser debuted on March 12 during the Academy Awards event, with Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy introducing the advertisement. McCarthy plays the wicked Ursula, while Bailey plays Ariel.

The film is directed by Rob Marshall and co-stars Javier Bardem, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, and Jonah Hauer-King. The film depicts the story of a mermaid who wishes to join the human world and features updated versions of the original music as well as four new songs.

“The Little Mermaid” will hit cinemas on Memorial Day, with Alan Menken returning to update his score and write a new song with lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Bailey, well known as a member of the R&B duet Chloe x Halle, was cast in 2019, and this is her most significant part to date.

During the last decade, Disney has found enormous success with live-action remakes of its animation masterpieces, including “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” and “The Lion King,” which have all made more than $1 billion internationally. Other remakes in the works include “Snow White” and “Lilo & Stitch,” as well as “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a “Lion King” prequel directed by Barry Jenkins.
