A savage fight took place during a screening of the new Little Mermaid film at a cinema, with screaming parents looking for a refund following the ordeal.
The cinema screening of The Little Mermaid, which took place in Orlando, Florida, was brought to a standstill when a group of adults in the theatre started to cause a disruption.
During the incident, which was captured on video, the adults engaged in a heated argument - as children who had gone to the cinema to catch the new version of the beloved kid's film looked on. It is unclear what initially caused the fight to kick off.

In the footage, adults can be seen standing up and shouting at each other, which resulted in them completely blocking the view of the screen for others in the audience.
One witness can be heard expressing her dissatisfaction, saying, “I need a refund, we need a refund” as the situation unfolded, adding that: "This is a kids’ movie”.
Shortly following this, one man can be heard attempting to diffuse the situation and put an end to the vicious altercation.
The live-action remake of the 1989 Disney animated classic has managed to snag a whopping $95.5 million on 4,320 screens in North America, according to studio estimates released on Sunday.
Currently ranking as the fifth biggest Memorial Day weekend opening ever, Disney estimates the film starring Halle Bailey as the titular mermaid Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as her sea witch nemesis Ursula will reach $117.5 million.
While it has been a Box Office hit, critics of the film have been more lukewarm in their opinions, with the movie currently at 67 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite this, audiences did think the film delivered, with the remake garnering an A CinemaScore and exit polling suggesting nostalgic adults were essential in this ranking given there were more ticket buyers between ages 25 and 34 than children.
