“Halle had this incredible facility to be able to dig deep, find the truth of Ariel’s passion and her heart,” Rob said of Halle‘s acting. “It was like watching a great film actor being born.”
Of her red hair in the movie, where they used her “trademark locs with some looser tresses,” the director said, “She looks stunning in red hair; not everybody does.”
In the original animated film, the “Part of Your World” reprise shows the iconic moment with the waves splashing behind Ariel.
“[Halle] sings that moment up an octave from the original,” Rob dished. “It’s the most chilling, and the most thrilling, film moment because it crystallizes not just her incredible vocal ability but the emotional passion she has in singing it.”
