Sure I kind of liked it when I was younger, but it never was my top favorite. Now that I'm older, there is no way I can watch such a massively flawed movie that unfairly beat the clearly superior All Dogs Go to Heaven during both movie's inital theatrical release.

These are all very valid points and I would like to add that her eagerness to leave her friend Flounder doesn't really show her in the best light. I just don't get why anyone who lives 'under the sea' would want to leave! Anyway, thank you for this post. I feel less alone in this.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832546615618075470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166852.post-81077353135486044562009-08-20T10:44:28.885-06:002009-08-20T10:44:28.885-06:00Well, I friggin' hate the Little Mermaid for a...Well, I friggin' hate the Little Mermaid for all the corny dialogue, terrible songs, and -- as you point -- incredibly flawed story line. If I were one of Triton's children other than Ariel, I'd grow up to be an ax murderer. (Example: how about that stupid song where she drops the 'g' on ever single participle? Or how about the stupid invented words of the seagull... that's funny?)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794559668417719918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166852.post-72521340568823539092008-03-26T23:36:00.000-06:002008-03-26T23:36:00.000-06:00i planned to write a post tonight about the reason...i planned to write a post tonight about the reasons i hate the little mermaid, and decided to google it first. there you were. so many valid points! <BR/><BR/>i think i remember the sea foam and prince stabbing from somewhere in my childhood... disney should have used that ending for children that defy every rule their parents lay down.<BR/><BR/>well written!Practically Perfect In Every Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602887588935416610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166852.post-1156821615913153812006-08-28T21:20:00.000-06:002006-08-28T21:20:00.000-06:00Yeah, let's see Disney animate THAT story!

In it, walking is torturous pain, the prince marries another mortal, and mermaid's only hope is to pludge a knife into the sleeping prince's heart. His blood will then turn her legs back to fins. She can't do it and becomes sea foam. the end.bookladydavinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577736802778608276noreply@blogger.com
