Disney’s highly anticipated remake of The Little Mermaid still doesn’t come out for another 5 months, but that hasn’t stopped promotional material from making its way online.

You might recall just a few days ago when we reported on leaked images of Funko Pops for the film. While those granted us a better look at human Ariel and Ursula, a new set of promo art making the rounds teases other characters in the live-action film.

Earlier today, listings for five tie-ins for The Little Mermaid appeared on Amazon.com. Surprisingly four of those tie-ins featured brand new promotional art for the film. The first two, titled The Little Mermaid: The Novelization and The Little Mermaid: This is Ariel are simple. They reimagine Halle Bailey’s titular character in some of the same poses seen in the original film.

The other two, however, feature Ariel alongside some familiar looking characters. The first one, titled “The Little Mermaid: Make A Splash,” features Ariel swimming alongside a floating crab and a fish. While not confirmed, it’s hard to imagine that these two are anyone else but Flounder and Sebastian.

The last book, titled “The Little Mermaid: Guide to Merfolk,” features Ariel surrounding by 6 other mermaids. These mermaids all look completely different from one another. It doesn’t take too much investigative work to figure out that those 6 mysterious characters must be Ariel’s 6 sisters.

Now, obviously we’ll have to wait until the film comes out to know for sure; however, all of these books come out on April 11th, so anyone who purchases any of them might get confirmation sooner.

Regardless, we’d love to hear your thoughts about all of these potential reimagined looks down below!

The official synopses for each respective book can also be found below:
