Disney Green-Lights New Animated Kids’ Show ‘Ariel’ Based Off Halle Bailey’s ‘The Little Mermaid’
Disney is set to announce a new animated kids’ series with a Black Ariel, similar to the theatrical release of ‘The Little Mermaid’ starring Halle Bailey!
The new series follows a young Ariel and features fan-favorite characters, including King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian and Flounder, as well as exciting new additions.
The show’s announcement comes after the huge success of ‘The Little Mermaid’ starring Halle Bailey, which saw the main character, Ariel, as a black girl for the first time. The animated version of the character will also be black, with the iconic fiery red hair that the fans know and love.

Set in the Caribbean-inspired underwater kingdom of Atlantica, the series turns on Ariel and her action-packed mermaid adventures with her friends.
The show is set in the Carribean Islands and the multicultural diversity of the Caribbean is highlighted in the animated series through music, food, festivals, fashion, language and folklore.
Variety exclusively reports that Disney’s President Ayo Davis is set to make the exciting announcement during the Annecy Animation Festival. The show is on Disney Junior and is set to cater to preschoolers.
“For more than 30 years, the story of ‘The Little Mermaid’ has been beloved by audiences all over the world. It brings me so much joy to be able to introduce our new Disney Junior version of Ariel to preschoolers everywhere,” said Davis.
