Halle Baile stars in this film (Little Mermaid), whereas Halle Berry is the incredible and super talented actress most are familiar with, and the person you listed.
And the issue here is that they are engaging in the same race-swapping that people lamented ages ago when white actors were cast in place of actors/actresses of color (e.g. when John Wayne was cast as Ghengis Kahn), but now replacing historically white actors/actresses with people of color (this is historically a Scandanavian story). It would be distasteful, for example, to cast a white person as Shaka Zulu, or Blade, or Black Panther, or Pocohantas in the same way this is distasteful.
To go a step further, Disney is a company which has historically been ran and governed by individuals of discriminatory persuasion (I have to be careful what I type as to avoid censorship, so I apologize for the flamboyant language). Walt Disney himself engaged in these practices. They are attempting to garner favor amongst people of color while sweeping their history under a rug with this type of behavior.
For what it's worth, I'm not white, I'm just sick of all this deceit and division that's being sown.
