A new clip from Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid reveals Melissa McCarthy singing Ursula's solo 'Poor Unfortunate Souls.'
A new clip from the live-action The Little Mermaid remake reveals Melissa McCarthy's performance of an iconic song from the original film. Disney's 1989 animated classic, which is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name, follows young mermaid Ariel as she trades her voice to the sea witch Ursula in exchange for a pair of legs to explore the human world.
The minute-long video shows a snippet of McCarthy performing Ursula's bombastic solo song "Poor Unfortunate Souls." It also offers a closer glimpse at her eel minions Flotsam and Jetsam, who haven't been featured front and center in the marketing materials thus far. How The Little Mermaid 2023's Music Will Be Different From the Original Although this clip doesn't reveal the full "Poor Unfortunate Souls" number, it does offer a glimpse into how McCarthy's version will be different from the original Pat Carroll performance. For instance, the arrangement has been altered to fit McCarthy's vocal range and the tempo differs in certain key places.
The original music by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman will mostly remain intact, with certain exceptions. There will be lines in songs including the iconic "Kiss the Girl" that will altered to fit more modern standards. LIkewise, one brief song, The Little Mermaid opener "Daughters of Triton" has been cut completely.
The biggest musical difference in the new The Little Mermaid will actually be the addition of several songs. These new tracks were co-written by Alan Menken and Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda and so far not much has been revealed about them. These will likely account for the bulk of the additional 50 minutes the film has added to the run time of the original.
