The Little Mermaid is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and fans were expecting to catch a glimpse of its trailer during the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, there was no mention of the film, and fans were infuriated by this.
Trailers for The Flash, Disney100 Special Look, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Fast X, Scream VI, 65, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Air, Creed III, Farmer Wants a Wife, Animal Control, Strays, and Poker Face were shown, but people were eagerly expecting to watch The Little Mermaid's trailer.
They didn't understand the point of not showing it during the biggest sporting event in the USA since it would have been watched by millions. One fan said that it was just plain stupid that there was no The Little Mermaid trailer during the event.
Twitter goes into meltdown after The Little Mermaid trailer didn't show up during Super Bowl 2023
The Super Bowl is watched by more than 100 million people every year. It's the perfect opportunity to showcase your product since many are simultaneously watching the same show. There is a lot of exposure and a greater chance that the film could become a massive hit. But fans were baffled that the film's trailer was a no-show.
Fans said that every other trailer was shown except the anticipated Disney movie trailer, and that just didn't make sense. Many were just watching the game to watch the trailer and were extremely disappointed.
One fan said that the trailer was not shown because of bad press from Daveed Diggs and Halle Bailey, who star in the film.
Fans say that none of the trailers shown during the event made ripples like The Little Mermaid and it was the perfect opportunity to show it because February is Black History Month.
