The Little Mermaid is making a comeback to cinemas in a new form entirely.
That's right, the 1989 Disney animated classic is getting the live-action treatment, courtesy of Mary Poppins Returns director Rob Marshall.
The film is set to see the original's composer Alan Menken return, with Lin-Manuel Miranda providing new song lyrics for tracks to sit alongside classics such as Under the Sea and Part of Your World.
So who is set to play Ariel and the rest of our favourite characters?
And most importantly, when can we expect the film?
