Ariel's father was crazy. He loved her, but damn he had a temper. I fell in love and became a die hard fan of Ariel and TLM when I was 7 years old (when it first came out), and I remember thinking he was a SCARY dad. I was so glad he wasn't my father! What kind of parent goes into their daughter's room and destroy all of her collections??? My 1 year old niece cries when I have to take away her stuffed dog when it's time to eat!
And you seem like one of those idiots that crucifies Ariel just because she wanted to fall in love. What's so bad about wanting to find true love? How is that anti feminist by wanting to fall in love?

Pretty much agreed on everything. I will mention this much though: In all fairness, Ariel wasn't exactly left which much options but to go through the deal, so I really wouldn't call it stupid (stupid would imply the kind of stuff Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin do). Besides, I'd personally consider going there and doing the deed and actually knowing Ursula is going after your dad and her making no secret to it, and then getting all shocked when she does backstab you and then goes after daddy is a lot more stupid (and FYI, I'm referencing a certain climax to a Disney film with that statement. I always get irritated when people bash on Ariel for this, yet completely ignore the other instance which if you ask me is far worse).

if she didn't disobey her father there would be no story.
she is fascinated by the human world which is why she collects human things.
Who doesn't complain sometimes?
of course she dreams of more, otherwise as alreAdy observed, there'd be no story.
She doesn't 'blindly follow' fireworks, she has never seen fireworks before and so is curious, as she is about everything human.
She falls in love with Eric quite quickly, but that is what happens in the original story. And sudden love is quite common in many stories.
ursula is shown as evil from the start, different from the original story, where she is a neutral figure.
yes, signing that treAty was pretty stupid, but again the story would not advance if she did not. And in the orginal it is even worse - not only will she lose her life if she doesn't make the prince love her (though there is no three day time limit, she will only lose her life when the prince mArries someone else) , but every step she takes is like walaking on a knife edge. Nice.

Wow people actually took this post seriously. Congratulations everyone you got owned by a troll.

VERY True but despite this fact Disney still does not give the film enough credit
The last scene in Moana nice tribute but even the Disney company would abandon Sebastain they did for almost ten years

I'm sorry, millions of people disagree with you. Which makes your statement objectively false and therefore, wrong.

Good god.

Where exactly do I put them on the BatB board? It will only humiliate you if I do that, either that or me or even both of us, and really highlight you anyways. A PM's far more effective at resolving the dispute without drawing a circus to a board.
