Here is the ultimate book while waiting for the release of The Little Mermaid

In a few days, Ariel will return under the ocean. Walt Disney’s live-action adaptation will be released on Wednesday May 24, 2023, and will allow moviegoers around the world to find Sébastien, Flounder and Eureka in a modernized version. Despite several controversies that already surround the release of the film, the long-announced project further concretizes Disney’s desire to impose itself on the real shooting. After Pinocchio, The Lion King et Mulanit was time for the fiery-haired mermaid to get her youthful look.

Still, if the new film from the American studios relies on live shooting techniques and modern special effects, they do not deny their animated heritage, quite the contrary. The first film is present in subtext throughout the footage, and goes so far as to cover the original songs from the original cartoon. Note that the latter have however been rearranged for the occasion, in order to breathe a wind of modernity into the marine tale.

A colorful pop-up book

To celebrate the release of the new feature film from the big-eared studio, Huginn and Muninn publish a masterful pop-up book to dive back under the ocean. After Stranger Thingsthe publisher of fine books gives us a new 3D version of the adventures of The little Mermaid. The timeless tale of Hans Christian Andersen takes on new colors, the time to five paintings filled with magic. By animating all the cult scenes of the film, the pop-up book designed by Matthew Reinhart is an opportunity to rediscover the adventures of Ariel under a new prism.

With its mechanisms and many hidden details, the new pop-up book by Huginn and Muninn stands out as a very nice tribute to the 1989 Disney movie. Fans will enjoy the care taken in the finely crafted book, while the youngest will marvel at the beauty of the 3D pop-ups and animations. Released on May 12, 2023, Disney: The Little Mermaid, the enchanted pop-up is available at most bookstores, at the price of 34,95€.
