An all time classic

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2013)

When I first saw this film as a little kid, I wasn't really all that interested. I just thought that it was another stupid princess love story, which I hated. Because of that I never really gave this movie a chance.
Watching this movie as an adult, I realize that I could not have been more wrong. This film is a must see for all children, not only for the beautiful story of true love, but for the catchy songs, fun humor, and tear jerking moments. As an adult watching this film, I realize that this movie is not just a love story. In fact, the film isn't really about that. This film is about the father-daughter relationship between Ariel and King Triton.
When Ariel falls in love with a human, Triton becomes angry and destroys her things because he is afraid of her being hurt. Ariel does not realize this, so she goes to the sea witch Ursula and exchanges her voice to be able to walk on land and be with her prince. The love story in this film, sweet as it may be, is only a bonus to this film. The story is really about Ariel and Triton, and Triton's love for his daughter, so proved when he sacrifices himself and control over the ocean to protect her.
This film is for all of the daughters who have had trouble with their fathers,and all of the fathers who love their daughters more than anything.
