Well all the same, sometimes "just movies" deserve more respect too. Like what the NC said about Dr Seuss books in his recent review. xD
I'm also bugged by the "feminist" reverse sexism that most people who decry Ariel's actions have. So it's sexist that a girl sells away her whole life for a man (when it wasn't even really about the man, it was about getting what she'd dreamed of: he was just her reason for finally taking action), so she ought to not think for herself or act independently, and should just obey her father, who is currently the most prominent man in her life. So...don't give up your life for a man, but conform to your current status quo because of a man's wishes? HUH?
Honestly, I sometimes wonder why Katzenburg DIDN'T just cut "Part Of Your World". Nobody seems to pay attention to that number if they think Ariel was JUST wanting to be human due to an obsessio with Prince Eric. (Incidentally, that song's antithesis is "Under Da Sea." No wonder people are against Ariel: Sebastian made a better point with a better song! XD)
