Don't call the new Little Mermaid "Black Ariel," Saturday Night Live says.
The casting of Halle Bailey as Ariel in Disney's upcoming live-action remake in 2019 has since sparked debate, with critics unhappy that the role, portrayed as white in the 1989 animated film, did not go to a white actress. The news, and a recently released first teaser showing the star singing "Part of Your World," has also inspired a new generation to dress up as Ariel. On NBC's SNL Oct. 8, cast member Ego Nwodim portrayed the character on Weekend Update.
