Young black girls are giving their blind reactions to the trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid,” and it’s the sweetest thing.

The TikTok trend has been making its way across the platform, right to the real Little Mermaid herself, Halle Bailey.

The beautifully shot teaser trailer shows Ariel, played by Bailey, swimming through the sea, singing the classic “Part of your World.”

The little girls and some teens are surprised and thrilled to see a Disney Princess with the same skin tone.

Bailey tweeted, “People have been sending these reactions to me all weekend, and I'm truly in awe. This means the world to me.”

Watch some of the reactions below.
