The decision to cast Halle Bailey as the next “Little Mermaid” has made some waves. If you haven’t heard of her, Bailey is half of the singing group Chloe x Halle and a star of Grown-ish. Although some fans don’t seem to be able to cope with Bailey’s casting, many more are embracing Disney’s casting choice, and they’re showing their love through some amazing art.
For example, there’s this adorable sketch:

I love that a new generation of little girls are going to see themselves represented on screen. Here’s to Bailey’s success!
