I love this film as much as any other girl who was raised on a steady diet of Disney princess movies. However, upon watching it as a grown up, it becomes clear that Ariel is a totally stupid, selfish, awful person (er, fish or whatever species she technically is). And I have my doubts that her relationship with Eric would survive the resolution of her "Daddy Issues".
Sorry for ruining your childhood, everybody!

As bad as it was, the movie still hold a lot of good memories in my heart. I even watched the sequel with Ariel's daughter (didn't see the third) and the TV series from back in the day.

I'll give it a fair shot before I label it as "bad". But it'll be VERY hard for me to get past the awful character design.
