Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Funny Memes and Tweets About The Little Mermaid Live Did ABC's Little Mermaid Live Sink or Swim? People on Twitter Had Some Hilarious Thoughts 6 November 2019 by Quinn Keaney Image Source: ABC That creepy live-action Flounder puppet? Auli'i Cravalho's powerful voice? Shaggy's red leather ensemble? Thirst for Prince Eric? All was involved on Tuesday night when ABC aired its live production of The Little Mermaid. The event — held in honour of the original film's 30th anniversary — was a mix of footage from Disney's animated classic, as well as live performances of the movie's best songs. While certain performances knocked it out of the park — Amber Riley's "Triton's Daughters" and Queen Latifah's "Poor Unfortunate Souls" were highlights — other moments (and notes) fell a little bit flat. Ahead, see what devoted Disney fans thought of The Little Mermaid Live, and then check out what you need to know about the upcoming big screen adaptation.

That note was a little....#TheLittleMermaidLive #LittleMermaidLive pic.twitter.com/3u2hr2JhPS— Marcus (@MarcusUntrell92) November 6, 2019 34 / 44 Am I the only one who has mixed feelings about The Little Mermaid Live? I wish it was advertised more as a concert/movie homage than a live musical because although the performances we’ve had have been great, the animated movie is doing all the acting. #TheLittleMermaidLive— Ashley Campbell (@campbellash01) November 6, 2019 35 / 44 Disney is a $130 billion company, and y'all have Ariel in a $20 lace front? #TheLittleMermaidLive pic.twitter.com/qvmzk00TNz— STEPHANIE (@VEGPOSH) November 6, 2019 36 / 44 #TheLittleMermaidLive Part of your WOOOOOOOOOORLD pic.twitter.com/60dNIniN8w— MissyElliott #ThrowItBack (@IvanKingz) November 6, 2019 37 / 44 Why do I feel like this lady just snuck on set? #TheLittleMermaidLive pic.twitter.com/neTc0CyZek— Ashley (@HudsandKisses) November 6, 2019 38 / 44 The definitive version of Kiss the Girl. #TheLittleMermaidLive pic.twitter.com/bjd1RtwAi8— Curtis Kimberlin Jr 🦃 (@ckimberlinjr) November 6, 2019 39 / 44 But overall?

Yes Disney Just Yes!! pic.twitter.com/IgpjuY0PsZ— Nick (@realnickp) November 6, 2019 42 / 44 Ariel is easily the most selfish princess in the Disney pantheon. Conveniently forgets an entire concert, turns her back on her family, nearly gets everyone killed, and is rewarded with everything she wants. No consequences.
