THE LITTLE MERMAID character posters reveal new look at the film’s live-action and CG characters

Tickets for The little Mermaid are now available, and following the release of a new trailer yesterday, we’ve got a fresh batch of character posters.

Ariel, Ursula, King Triton and Prince Eric are among the live-action protagonists given the spotlight here, while we get perhaps our best look at CG creations Sebastian, Scuttle and Flounder. Fans of the 1989 classic wondered how it would come to life on screen, and we’d say this adaptation nailed it.

Yes, they’re not as stylized as their cartoon counterparts, but there’s a good mix of reality and fantasy here (remember, this trio has to talk and sing).

Check out these new posters for The little Mermaid below (via Toonado.com).

In The little Mermaid, the youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to learn more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, she falls in love with dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart.

She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to live life on land, but ultimately puts her life – and her father’s crown – in danger.
