Scarlett Johansson needs to text her sister about The Little Mermaid
Turns out Scarlett Johansson is kind of a Disney adult!
Aux News Scarlett Johansson
Breaking news: the Johansson family is reportedly full of Disney adults. In a new Variety interview, Scarlett Johansson reminisces about their annual passes to Disney World, leading to “a real passion for the Disney Parks”—she still goes at least 10 times a year and “spent a recent Christmas with a group of 15 friends at Disney World.” Most of all is a love of the movies, which she apparently shares with her sister, whom she needs to get in contact with on the subject.
“[When] I was growing up, it was a great time for Disney animation—The Little Mermaid and Aladdin and Lion King with the incredible soundtrack. Like, I will be pre-buying tickets to The Little Mermaid,” Johansson tells the outlet. “I actually need to text my sister about that.”
Who among us hasn’t realized mid-interview that we need to nail down plans with a sibling? Perhaps the Johansson sisters are the Tom Cruise of the Disney set, here to bolster the reputation of a film largely met with skepticism. (Disney’s live action experiments are already the butt of jokes, but the aquatic CGI in this one faced serious backlash.) Early reactions are mixed-to-positive, with Gizmodo’s Germain Lussier tweeting: “It’s real simple. Are you excited for #TheLittleMermaid? You’ll like it. It’s exactly what you think it is. Are you skeptical and worried about it? That’s valid too.” Seeing as Johansson falls into the former category, it should be a fun night out for her and her sister. Hooray!
That the Avengers star is willing to go on the record about pre-buying tickets to a Disney movie is a shocker in and of itself, given the legal drama between herself and the company. The studio at one point accused her of “callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic” amid her Black Widow lawsuit.
“I was sad and disappointed. But mostly sad,” she shares with Variety. “It was such a surreal moment because we were all isolated and just sort of emerging a little bit. I was also really heavily pregnant, too, which in a weird way was amazing timing. Suddenly, your entire attention is drawn to this miracle of life. So, I had the most wonderful distraction in the world and soon after had a beautiful baby.”
Despite being in battle with her beloved Disney, Johansson says she got a lot of support from the public (“I couldn’t even walk through a restaurant without somebody saying, ‘Good for you. Stand up for yourself.’”) Eventually, the two parties settled the lawsuit, and she went right back to her Disney adult ways—she’s even set to star in a Tower Of Terror film from Taika Waititi. Thus, she can enjoy The Little Mermaid live-action without resentment, so long as she remembers to text her sister and make a date!

Her sister didn’t hear that she’s black now?
Why would that matter ?
Have you read the threads? It seems to for some people.
It seems to matter to you.
Don’t put ants in my eyes, you obtuse little sod.
You sound like you have many issues beyond ants.
That’s why she’s going with her sister instead of her Hitler-quoting husband. (That’s an SNL reference.)
Context!
Scarlett Johansson? She still looks white to me.
That’s why she’s not the mermaid.
“It’s exactly what you think it is.”So she’s still not in horrible pain whenever she walks on her feet? Because that’s the version I grew up with and I will have no others!
If it doesnt end in Sea Foam, the story isnt over!
You’re thinking of Cinderella’s evil stepsisters, because their mother CUT OFF THEIR TOES TO MAKE THEM FIT IN THE FUCKING GLASS SLIPPER, which is also something in a classic fairy tale Disney retconned because they’re pussies.
You’re right, that’s the original.But I’m definitely thinking of The Little Mermaid, where the sea witch gives her feet but whenever she walks on them it feels like she’s walking on thorns. She dances for the prince because he loves watching her dance, even though it causes her horrible pain.
In the end she kills herself because he marries someone else, iirc.
Oh, yeah, was jokin’ about how Disney…well, Disneyfied.I believe this is the closest Disney has technically gotten accurately animating a real European fairy tale:Yes, it’s a real German story (although in the real story, a random tailor breaks into his house and cuts off his thumbs with a huge pair of shears. To answer your next question “It’s German.”)
Is The AV Club writing the clickbait now too?
Heh-heh. Dummies misspelled “boat.”
I actually googled “Baot” to see if it was a thing.
Me too. I suppose that pic could be a recruiting tool for that company that makes dental chairs.
The internet is so stupid that either is equally possible
It’s a type of Dutch cheese made with fennel seeds.

She’s my Click Bae
Do they write anything else now?
Did you think she was boycotting all Disney products ever? I mean, they did pay her a nice settlement.
The Disney corporation has given her millions and millions of dollars, if she isn’t in a dispute with them right now, why would she ever do anything but praise them and keep the millions flowing?
“Johansson tells the outlet” before asking the light switch for its opinion.
That mascara makes her eyes appear too close together.
I could learn to live with it.
Nope, they gotta come out!
Absolutely don’t give a shit. I’d do anything she wanted.
I’m so tired of the term “Disney Adult”.
Well “Adult Disney” has a different meaning so we’re stuck with it.
We have all seen that pornhub tab
The Adult Disney tab on Pornhub? Well lah-dee-dah Professor Rockefeller! Most of us can only afford the Hanna-Barbera on XHamster.
XHamster Hanna-Barbera!!!!I can only afford DIC on Dicks.com
At least you get to inspect her gadget.
Disdult
Saccarine Capitalist Tripe Simp is just too much of a mouthful.
What they can’t comp her tickets or even an invite to the premire? Make sure you send your ticket scans to Disney Movie Insiders website, ScarJo!
You failed to mention the film her sister did with Stephen Baldwin called Sharks in Venice.
