The Little Mermaid Live came to life on Tuesday evening (November 5th) on ABCm and all eyes were on Queen Latifah as she portrayed the evil sea witch.
Alongside Moana’s Auli’i Cravalho who played Ariel, Graham Phillips as Prince Eric and Shaggy as Sebastian the crab, Queen Latifah stole the show with the sea witch’s signature song, “Poor Unfortunate Souls.”
In honor of the 30th anniversary of the classic underwater Disney movie, “The Little Mermaid Live!” was a “never-before-seen hybrid format” that blended scenes from the original animated film with live musical performances. Critics were underwhelmed by the Flounder puppet that looks like it came from the puppet bargain bin and Shaggy’s lobster costume ( or lack thereof.)
But at least John Stamos was mostly unscathed.
