The Little Mermaid Live! Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
It felt like watching The Little Mermaid with regular interruptions for commercials and karaoke.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
This is a love letter to Disney fans, not an intro for new viewers. And, as such, it mostly works as a messy but charming hybrid event.
NPR
Eric Deggans
The result was an experience that often felt like a ride at a Disney theme park - great for young fans, less so for more experienced eyes, even when star Auli'i Cravalho offered a note-perfect performance as the Little Mermaid herself, Ariel.
Shadow and Act
Monique Jones
The characters needed room to grow as the story developed, and we didn't get that story development. Instead, the production seemed to rely on viewers having already seen the animated movie.
indieWire
Ben Travers and Steve Greene
What was live was good, what wasn't became diminished by expectations and comparisons - that's not an ideal blend.
Orlando Sentinel
Hal Boedeker
Ultimately, "The Little Mermaid Live!" didn't work as a TV show but it may have succeeded as a tribute. It could send you back to watch the movie without the intrusions of commercials and live actors.
Hollywood Reporter
Robyn Bahr
Watching the show became an inevitable sine wave of delight and boredom.
New York Times
Noel Murray
All of these performers handled the material well. The stunt casting of celebrities has sometimes been a drag on live TV musicals, but this cast could sing, and the animated characters handled most of the dialogue.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
It was a solid, full-throated effort by the actors and chorus members, but a spectacular failure of a live TV event that couldn't get past its own awkwardness.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
ABC's broadcast was a lovingly made reminder of "The Little Mermaid's" greatness that cleverly didn't seek to outshine its source material.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
I hate to be a crab about it, but ABC's hybrid 30th-anniversary presentation of The Little Mermaid-part movie, part gussied-up concert-felt more sink than swim.
