The Little Mermaid has been recreated by Rob Marshall to great acclaim by moviegoers. The seasoned filmmaker boldly said when asked if he felt pressure to deliver on expectations with the remake, "I did not feel the pressure since I have a fantastic relationship with folks in Disney. They have shown me so much respect and support. The company and the world place a great deal of value on this property, so I wanted to honour its greatness while also keeping in mind that I am working on a different genre—a live-action genre—and that there is a chance to make the experience richer, more complete, and ultimately more emotional.
