It can sometimes be easy to feel a little jaded about Disney’s live-action remakes. Not so with The Little Mermaid. Halle Bailey – who plays Ariel in the 2023 release – has brought the house down at Disneyland with a magical performance of the movie’s iconic "Part of Your World" song. It’s enough to get Disney fans, new and old, on board for one more trip under the sea.
Bailey, backed by Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom, performed the song live as part of American Idol’s Disney Night. If you had any doubts about the movie or Bailey’s casting, they will have all melted away by the time the first line hits. Watch the full clip – and get ready for goosebumps – above.
