Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is about to make its big-screen debut — only it's not a debut but rather a second (or third or fourth or fifth) act. Vox's Alissa Wilkinson looks at whether there's such a thing as a new idea these days, and if that's even what we're looking for. "Or do we yearn for the ability to be surprised, to fall in love with new versions of old stories that speak to our time?" she wonders.
@CultureDesk Yes, I yearn for the days when Disney told fresh, new, original stories like The Three Little Pigs, The Brave Little Tailor, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
