FAN ART: How Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' should have ended.....

[brendala]

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!

It's not as if she longed to become human and go to the human world out of rebelliousness against her prejudiced father LONG before she saw that dude. And it's not as if her father's own unreasonable behavior drove her to a state of sorrow where she'd think less clearly. And it's not like she initially refused those eels' invitation to go see Ursula until they gave her a subtle manipulative push. And it's not as if she were clearly still conflicted about it even when dealing with Urusla ("If I become human...I'll never see my family again." "BUT you'll have your man!") And she certainly wasn't sorry for it all in the en...wait.

And Sebastian was always the "star" of the movie for me. XD
