Disney fans are left OUTRAGED after AI scientist edited The Little Mermaid trailer to replace Halle Bailey with a WHITE woman - amid ongoing racist backlash over 22-year-old's casting



An AI scientist has been slammed as 'racist' by furious social media users after he edited the Disney trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and replaced black actress Halle Bailey with a white woman - after the leading lady was attacked by racist trolls over her casting in the film.

Disney is set to release their live-action adaptation of the animated 1989 film, which stars Grown-ish actress Halle, 22, from Los Angeles, California, in the iconic role of Ariel, in 2023; however, despite devoted Disney fans excitement surrounding the film, the trailer received over 1.5 million dislikes in just a matter of days when it was released on YouTube.

One Twitter user even escalated the online attacks when he used AI technology to turn Halle into a white, red-headed woman as a way to match her to the original animated Disney princess in the 1989 film.
The horrific alteration comes just days after the trailer for Disney's live-action version of The Little Mermaid racked up more than 1.5 million dislikes on YouTube after its star Halle Bailey faced racist backlash from trolls on Twitter after being cast in the leading role.

The negative response to the movie's official teaser trailer - the first real glimpse at the movie - was so severe that YouTube disabled the dislike counter, but not before it reached more than 1.5 million.
