Chloë Grace Moretz, the upcoming star of the new Little Mermaid movie, recently revealed to ET that she's staying blonde for the role.
Naturally, some people are displeased.
Because so many of us grew up with Ariel's iconic red hair.
Other people, however, are cool with it.
As it turns out, Hans Christian Andersen never specified a hair color for the little mermaid in his original tale.
Her hair is described as "long," "thick," and "waving" at different points, but we're never given a color.
Hair does play a huge role in the original story though.
And in the original tale, the little mermaid's grandmother is so distraught at the little mermaid leaving that "her white hair is falling off from sorrow."
Prince Eric, however, will probably keep his Disney hair color. He's described as having "large black eyes" and "raven hair."
Honestly, the original story is pretty terrifying.
But Moretz is all about making the film progressive.
