Disney India unveiled the new poster for "The Little Mermaid," helmed by Rob Marshall, yesterday. The film's trailer will be unveiled during the 95th Academy Awards.
This new poster pays tribute to the iconic 1989 film of the same name, from which the live-action adaptation is being made. Ariel, a young mermaid princess who wants to discover the human world, is the protagonist of the story. The princess makes a dangerous arrangement in exchange for getting a set of human legs after a storm leaves the injured prince Eric on a nearby beach and Ariel looks after him.
