The Wonderful World of Disney: The Little Mermaid Live! was scheduled to air on Oct. 3.
The seaweed is always greener… in somebody else’s budget: ABC has postponed its planned “live action/animation hybrid television experience” of The Little Mermaid due to financial constraints, USA Today reports.
“We are postponing the Little Mermaid Live special,” an ABC spokesperson tells TVLine.
Meanwhile, Fox plans to follow up its Grease: Live success with a musical adaptation of A Christmas Story in December and a live performance of Rent in 2018.
