Synopsis

Loosely based upon the story by Hans Christian Andersen. Ariel, youngest daughter of King Triton, is dissatisfied with life in the sea. She longs to be with the humans above the surface, and is often caught in arguments with her father over those “barbaric fish-eaters”. She goes to meet Ursula, the Sea Witch, to strike a deal, but Ursula has bigger plans for this mermaid and her father. —IMDb

Someday I wanna be Ariel.

Beauty and the Beast used to be my all-time favorite Disney Princess film, but lately The Little Mermaid has been winning me over. It's all about Ursula, The underwater animation, and the cute and rare mermen.

The tragic, unfulfilled longing of the lonely mermaid in the original story here is watered down to sacrificing everything for a chance with a cute boy and some cute stuff. Oh well, at least we got URSULA. Ursula... God how my four year old self loved you. Throaty voice, heavy tits, roaming phallic tentacles. A true goddess who planted the seeds of John Waters in every future weirdo as a child.
