00:00A new teaser for The Little Mermaid just dropped, and it features our first look at Melissa McCarthy as the villainous sea witch Ursula.
00:07The preview gives viewers a sneak peek at the world under the sea that audiences will be transported to when the film swims into theaters on May 26th,
00:15as well as a glimpse at Jonah Hauer King as Prince Eric.
00:18The teaser ends with the haunting laughter of McCarthy's Ursula, the film's infamous antagonist.
00:33The new preview is soundtracked by star Halle Bailey singing Part of Your World,
00:37the song that was featured in the first teaser trailer for the Disney movie that was released back in September of last year.
00:48Bailey, who stars as Ariel, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter at Disney's D23 Expo in 2022 about putting her own spin on the classic animated character.
00:58I think because this film has meant so much to me in my heart since I was a little girl,
01:04I really felt like the little girl inside of me was like, okay, Halle, you can't mess this up, you gotta do your best.
01:09So I think just listening to my younger self in my ear and making her proud made my current self proud, if that makes sense.
