Ariel Is Bad Role Model

Rating: 5/10 (7 November 2019)

(Flash Review)
So.... Disobeying your parents, running away, ignoring commitments, chasing a hunk you just met and giving up your speech (essentially your mind) to do so because you can just toss your hair, flutter your eyes and shake your body is message bring sent to the little girls...? Because of course everything will work out perfectly in the end. Really? This is a very shallow movie with very little character development and Ariel has no arc as she learns nothing and gets her way in the end. Aside from the good animation, for the time, and the catchy tunes and outstanding voice acting by Ursula there was literally zero message to be taken from this. Almost worse than a Barbie cartoon in terms of message.
