Halle - who will star in the live action remake of "The Little Mermaid" when the Disney blockbuster hits the big screen in May 2023 - recently discussed the significance of playing Ariel. She said, "I want the little girl in me and the little girls just like me who are watching to know that they're special, and that they should be a princess in every single way. There's no reason that they shouldn't be. That reassurance was something that I needed."

Meanwhile, the singer and actress previously revealed she received "words of encouragement" from her grandparents following the racist to her casting as Ariel. She explained, "It was an inspiring and beautiful thing to hear their words of encouragement, telling me, 'You don't understand what this is doing for us, for our community, for all the little Black and brown girls who are going to see themselves in you.' "

Halle gushed about how the part would mean so much to her younger self. Halle said, "What that would have done for me, how that would have changed my confidence, my belief in myself, everything. Things that seem so small to everyone else, it's so big to us."
