mermaid has red hair. however, in the real life action version, chloe grace moretz playing the little mermaid has blonde hair and will have blonde hair in the film. it has caused a degree of outrage. this is a person on twitter called stephanie marie who says i will not be watching an the new little mermaid movie. ariel is a redhead, not a blonde. however, i would say this to stephanie marie, whilst i understand your anger, hans of the origigil story never in the book specified the color o o the hair of the little mermaid. >> it's too late because television has intervened and she's a redhead. she's not a blonde. she's a redhead. >> disney intervened. >> disney. >> there's one funny story which is particularly interesting. a chap has bought the wu-tang clan for a reason no one
