DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
They’re at it again! Disney fans — particularly Disney Guests in the Disney Parks at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, or Disneyland Paris — are getting worse and worse when it comes to their behavior.
Disney Vacations Are Bloody Business
Verbal threats, fistfights, mutilation, and all-out brawls have unfortunately become commonplace at the Disney theme parks, leading to arrests and lifetime bans for the offending adults (who, even more unfortunately, have been seen exhibiting these atrocious behaviors in front of children).

Now, we are seeing similar behavior from Disney fans in movie theaters during showings of the brand-new Little Mermaid movie that stars Halle Bailey!
A conflict erupted between audience members in a movie theater showing The Little Mermaid on Saturday, May 27 (just one day after the movie’s premiere).
What Would Ariel Think?
It’s not clear what caused the shouting match and hostile physical behavior, but footage of the confrontation (which disrupted many other audience members and caused at least one bystander to reportedly request a refund) can clearly be seen in the Tweet shown below from @Babygravy9.
The Twitter user wrote (sarcastically, we presume) that “there’s something magic about going to the cinema that you just don’t get if you stay at home.”

The Conflict Continues Online
The Little Mermaid movie that the offending people were watching has faced plenty of obstacles before its premiere, as well, mainly due to “pathetic” racist people’s hateful comments regarding the casting of Halle Bailey in the role of Ariel.
Now that the movie has made its debut, the same people are also trying to sabotage the film’s success online!
Halle Bailey has responded incredibly well to the hate being sent her way, keeping her composure and remaining kind throughout the months of cruel online comments from people.
The singer (who got her start alongside her sister Chlöe and was taken under Beyoncé’s wing) has charmed onlookers more and more during the film’s press tour, and especially after her recent live performance of “Part Of Your World.”

The movie has been receiving mixed reviews overall, but one consistent standout from critics has been praise for Halle Bailey’s performance.
Up until now, critiques focused more on the movie’s poor lighting and this controversial song that is rapped by Awkwafina — but apparently, critiques need to include the behavior of the audience members in movie theaters, as well!
Have you seen any fights break out in crowds or audiences like this that are outside of the Disney Parks and any other theme parks, or have you mainly seen people fistfighting in Disney theme parks like the Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort?
