True but she also did The Greatest, which was pretty damn solid, this movie is still not going to be good though.

Why "retell" a story that every kid has the DVD to.
SEQUELIZE IT!

Like America McGee's WEIRD-O ALICE IN WONDERLAND videogame. Freakin-Evil and STRANGE!

There's already been a sequel and a prequel.

I was just thinking I'd like to see more dark retellings! It's like they can read my mind.

How long are they gonna make us wait for the dark retelling of "Wall-E"???

Oh man, Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie growing up! I don't know if I could watch a dark version. Or two of them for that matter! =P
