Actress El Fanning said that in the 2010s Disney studio planned the gloomy musical "Mermaid".

According to her, they wanted to take not an old cartoon, but the original fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen.

Joe Wright was then appointed director, and it was he who conducted El samples.

“At the casting, I read excerpts from Ariel’s monologues, and after that, unexpectedly for me, Wright asked them to sing everything, what I did too.

I was approved in this role, but then Joe left the project, and other directors could not be found on time, and the film was canceled.

Indeed, for some time Disney relied on such musicals, such as, for example, the picture "in the forest".

After that, they made a cardinal turn and, on the contrary, decided to film their old cartoons with actors: “King Leo”, “The Book of the Jungle”, “Mulan” and many others who are still in development, for example, “Snow White”.
