I was in the building for the event and OH BOY! Disney treated us to an exclusive snippet of Halle singing the film’s iconic song, “Part of Your World.”
And LET ME TELL YOU: Although the CGI is a work in progress, the footage still looks great. And, of course, Halle BODIES the vocals. I mean, I’m not even a Little Mermaid fan and I was in awe.
Afterward, Disney brought Halle to the stage and she was just so pure and joyous.
Bruh. @HalleBailey as Ariel is… wow. #D23Expo2022 just showed the entire “Part of their World” sequence and Halle’s voice and take on it are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Here is Halle speaking on the film. #TheLittleMermaid

Disney also revealed that the remake will feature four new songs!
The crowd was on FIRE for my girl. We can all agree she looks amazing as Ariel, especially with her red locs. Halle even had an underwater glow that I can’t wait to see more of.
i don’t care what ariel looked like in the original little mermaid im telling my kids that ariel was black with dreadlocks. from now on halle is the only little mermaid that matters

Don’t you just love Halle? I do! She was born for this role.
#LittleMermaid lead Halle Bailey on audience reaction to seeing “Part of Your World”: “I’m just pinching myself. I feel really kind of out-of-body in a way.” #D23Expo #D23Expo2022 https://t.co/P1b4fdK5ai
