the little memaid is the only female in dysney who makes the ultimate sacrifice , who risk everything against all odds to get the man and the life that she wants !!! looooooove her :-)
As a girl I really found Ariel beautiful but definitely did not want to be like her. All I thought of was the artistic side of the whole thing: breathtasking animation and amazing music as only Disney can do and one day be able to create amazing things like that. I personally dislike all these sequels. The only one that makes sense is the one made for The Lion King . It's funny how Ariel actually looks older, when she is suppose to look younger! Disney is just hungry for money!
i saw this title and was disturbed. i'm so glad it's not about making ariel a lesbian. i would be so mad. this is the worst video ever. after that crap narrator's voice i was sure this was a joke.
i hate to think that these movies are considered old. i want my kids to experience them but how will they if these films are buried beneath high school musical crap and the jonas brothers? i hate to think that my baby brother has only seen 1 at the age of 2, when i was that age i'd seen LOADS. these kind of movies shape who we become when we're older
@cornstar101 if i may put my 2 cents in i find the conection with little girls comes from her being a rebelious lil rich girl u know the kind spoiled little princess never satisfied with what shes got...BLAH!!
Well I really don't know whether she makes her way in the world or not, but what I see is a woman giving up everything and I mean everything, even her voice, for a man, now that is quite puzzling...

She was my favorite when I was little, I always pretended I was her when in the pool
:-) I think she appeals to girls, because she is not afraid to be bold, and explore, and I think girls envy the creativity behind imagining a world underwater and being able to live there etc., I know I did ;-)
Ariel was my favorite princess ever! And she still is!! I love to watch again and again that lovely film from my childhood. But the main reason i liked her... She was a MERMAID!! And I, as a girl, found this idea fantastic, and didnt understand why she wanted to become a human! She was gorgeous, and a mermaid. Love it.
Although, yeah, we could probably pick something up because we subconciously think about things and we can connect that way. My princess is Cinderella and she has been for YEARS 'cause she was relatable for me but I didn't realize this 'til I grew up now I appreciate her more. So maybe little girls didn't realize it then but we can probably think about it now. Still don't like Ariel much--it's just the hair like I said. Yes, for I am weird. XD
LOL 'Cause of her passion? 'Cause of her character? CLEARLY these people forgot Ariel's a friggin' MERMAID. When I was little, I would hear girls my age go on and on about Ariel 'cause she was a mermaid princess and could swim with dolphins and crap not 'cause she was relatable. She was never my favorite--I mainly found her hair gorgeous. C'MON, SHE'S A FRACKIN' MERMAID. And boys like her 'cause... well, LOOK at her. XD
@Persona100Duh Obviously a great deal of her allure as a character comes from the fact that she's a mermaid, but there's a difference between allure and relation. What makes her relatable as a character is her passionate curiosity for things that are beyond her world, and her willingness to go after her dreams and follow her heart. A young child sees first the pretty princess, but the older girl reminiscing with her inner child is capable of seeing a little bit more, as with all these movies.
@LittleHobbit13 True, true. That's probably why she is special to girls (as they grow older and remember, as you said). Personally, I don't have that connection with Ariel so much (wanting something out of reach, I mean, at least I don't think... Lol) and she's actually my least favorite princess but I can definitely see SOME things, don't count me for a hater yet. -is talking to the world- XD
@Persona100Duh Well it's not just about wanting things that seem out of reach, but about being able to make your own way in the world. Part of Ariel's story is finding her own way in the world rather than living by what everyone around her is telling her to do. I think almost every kid can relate to that. The Princesses take a lot of flak for "just being pretty" but actually they resonate with us because of their amazing INNER qualities: Belle's heart, Ariel's curiosity, Cinderella's kindness...
@LittleHobbit13 I can relate to Ariel, yes, and "haters" too but some parts of her character bothered me; I think it's 'cause I love the original. Ariel has her good qualities, but I think she has the most flaws, which can be good since no one is perfect. Also, I think you're the first person to mention Cinderella in a list EVER. Normally people forget the "older" princesses for the more "feminist" ones so for that I love you--Cinderella's been my fave for years. Lol
I know she does the voice of Ariel, but when she say's "beyond their reach.." around 0:51, I think she sounds soooo much like Ariel. Or is it just me? :P
Oh the narrator's voice annoys me! And when I first watched it (about two weeks ago, yes I was a Disney deprived little girl) all I thought was: cool land dresses, cool voice, cool hair, cool prince and cool house. I think she's really annoying sometimes, but I feel like yeah, I would cry at those times as well. Oh and sorry, what passion?
@hanacurekovic Children are much smarter than people who express this opinion seem to think. The Disney movies are no girl's only source of knowledge; there'll be plenty of people to tell them (actually tell, not imply) differently. Plus, cartoons are not like live action.
@Hueglow I don't think it matters whether it's animated or live action. It's the soul of a movie, what it's trying to express, that influences our ability to connect to the story and to the characters.
@Hueglow I totally agree. This whole princess thing is ridiculous because it gets girls into thinking that they will be only respected if they have some royal tittle, when the real princesses in the world, expect Princess Diana, don't do much or nothing at all to make this world better.
i agree with jodi, but it dosent just stop at girls i always loved this movie, and at the age i related to her so much just wanting to be free, go far beyond the limits and i always will love ariel for life she will always be a part of my world, so haters fall back because disney was so good back when we had good movies good stories unlike this bs we have now
I love The Little Mermaid as a teenager. It's not a childhood memory to me, because I probably watch them now more than I did when I was little. I love Ariel because she broke the rules and she went out to live her dream. Besides that, her eyes AMAZE me (: And I'm a musical theatre person so I love her singing. I think that's why I'm so obsessed with Disney. I'm just one of those people (;
@khhottie1 me too! i'm obsessed with jodi...and my mom makes fun of me for loving her! i am gonna get some money and buy myself a ticket to her concert! haha
I loved her because A)She was a mermaid princess B) Cause she was interested in weird stuff like me C) She was an awesome singer >_< and D) SHE WAS A MERMAID< COME ON PEOPLE THAT"S FRIGGIN AWESOME :D
i love ariel so much bc she's a mermaid and we got to see different scenarios like the awesome castle where she lives. And the other reason i love her is because she was so dull like snow white, she wanted to be part of our world and she went for it! she didn't wait for prince charming, she loved eric and went for him! :) she was my role model, beside my mom of course lol :)
The little mermaid is unique in the way she is a mermaid, not a human (well, originally). And she was beautiful and got to live in a palace underwater. The story's feasible to children, and seriously, mermaids are the best, who didn't want to be one when they were little. That's why I loved it. Passion never came into it.
And that narrator sounds so bored. Cheer up, love! It's the little mermaid you get to talk about!
Dude, I liked the little mermaid because I would have givn anything to be a mermaid. She was always my favorite princess since I first saw it at age 6 or so because my brother had just begun introducing me to surfing and i became obsessed with the sea. I still am
Passion? I'm sorry but no it was totally the mermaid and the palace under the sea thing that got me as I couldn't even spell passion let alone comprehend it at such a young age. Just saying little girls aren't that deep or thoughtful...
When i was young, i didn't even consider the fact about having a passion to get something i couldn't have. i liked ariel because she was the one who was truly talented, Sleeping Beauty recieved the gift of singing from one of the 3 fairies n all the other disney princesses just sang because it was a disney thing, but Ariel was born in a musical family and as i recall all her sisters (in the movie) said she was the best singer in the family :) She's also persistent in getting Eric
Wow. I've never heard a narrator whith such an uninterested, soulless voice. Do something else, dear, you aren't meant for this.You sound even too bored for the news.
@KatKaleen u know i dont think that she isnt meant 4 it what i got from that voice was sum1 who felt that the story was beneath them u know a real snob
Okay jodi I like you alot but im a teenager and i still love ariel LOL because She is unique from the princesses not just cause shes a mermaid because she is actually fighting against others more so than others as a girl to love someone she basically cant have. She gives up her voice and still convinces eric they belong. Cinderella has the sad story, mulan the restrait, snow white and sleeping beauty are soem what the same, rapunzal is boring, and others are bland. Ariel is like every girl.
Eh...so people love Ariel because she can't appreciate what she has, always wanting more? Noo... Auryngirl nailed it for me: Ariel's a mermaid, that's cool!
Ariel is amazing because she is the only lead disney female character that saves her mans life as opposed to being saved by him. The Little Mermaid was one of the first movies I remember watching when I was very little and i continually watched this movie as I grew up. I wanted to be like Ariel too. It wasn't untill I got into my teens that I truly started to understand her character and what she represents. :)
@randomeese that doesnt mean they dont have one. Not that they do, but the point is they could, whether or not they know the word, so its kinda irrelevant.
as a little girl (10 years ago....im not an adult...i will be 18 in 4 years lol) i wanted to be EXACTLY like ariel...i went around saying i was gonna grow a tail and fall inlove with a human and stuff LMAO
I was a little BOY when this movie first came out, and I can tell you that Ariel doesn't just make connections with little girls. My father was very much like King Triton, except very physically abusive as well as mental. I made a connection with Ariel because I too loved to explore, and my father was like her's. Thank you Ariel, Jodi Benson, and Mr. Hans Christian Andersen. :)
Well, I'm almost 20 yuears old. So this movie was pretty much brought out when I was about 4. I loved Ariel coz of all of Jodie's reason. I love her still, because i can identify with her more. It's one of those movies you can identify with the main characters at any age, with any kind of emotional depth and knowledge.
I don't think as children we thought of it so in depth. I think we see something in ourself in Ariel subconcsiously. That and she was a mermaid with the best hair and voice of the other princesses lol.
"she has a passion to experience the realm beyond her." Isn't that most, if NOT ALL, the disney princesses? I mean Jasmine was dissatisfied with a wealthy yet sheltered life... belle was sick of the redundant idylls of her provincial home... mulan, whose incentive was to help her father, actually felt her adventure to be more suitable than the suppressing domestication destined for her at home... can't think of anymore.. but yeah not original of ariel, but i loved her regardless!
ariel was my favorite lol but yeah, because she was a mermaid.. lol i remember seriously asking santa for a mermaid costume that would allow me to basically make me into a mermaid when i was five lol
I love Ariel so much that I used to wish for a fish tail for every Xmas until I was in grade 6 xD I see that she gave so much for her love&adventures.
i used to love Ariel soo much i looked up to her because of her great and colorful and cause she was the only one without feet in the first one and part of a mermaid will always stay inside her she can never change that
Perhaps I thought a bit deeper, too. I liked Ariel because she was a mermaid of course, but also because she was angsty and she wanted to get away and start something with her life and follow her dreams. And she succeeded with the consent of her parents, which is a Disney miracle in itself. xD
I've always been angsty, so I can relate to Ariel's drive to escape, leave the nest, and follow her own path.
Wow. Never thought I'd be analyzing this movie so closely. xD
I loved the little mermaid, I think I was about 11 or 12 when I watched the video over and over and over again. I felt so much when watching her on her passionate adventures. Went to disney world a couple years ago and saw Aerial perform, it swept me away as usual, I sang the songs word for word. Love her till this day.
Um couldn't they get a narrator with more....feeling? I mean this movie was AWESOME!!! GET EXCITED DAMMIT!!!!! Um, and I'm sorry Jodie, but I was about 5 when I first saw this, and I didn't much care for her "passion"....I just liked the fact that she was a pretty mermaid, who could sing....
I always loved The Little Mermaid... It was never because of her being a mermaid or whatnot, she just had something about her that created great compassion, and it still does that to me. I always get choked up when I see her cry, watching that wedding-boat sail away with the prince, and she think she has lost him. :,)
I loved this movie when I was a kid because of all the reasons Jodi said (and more) and because she was a mermaid and was absolutely beautiful. So it goes to show that not every girl likes this movie when they're young because of what she looks like. Ariel was my idol when I was a kid because she stood up to her father and I never could. But the story is so magical and adventurous you cant help but get swept up by it all!
@auryngirl I agree lol. She was a mermaid, she was beautiful, she could sing, and she got a handsome prince in the end. That was the extent of my little girl analysis haha.
@Galygal77 I'm not gonna deny the validity of what your saying about your brother here, hon, but I just have a theroy that has little to do with Ariel specifically. Not saying anything bad here, just addressing it seriously. AsK your brother what he liked MOST about this movie, Areil's character....or watching Sebastian the Crab. 5 to1, most guys are going to say seeing that little crimson-colored bad boy was what kept your brother amused more.
Gah you all miss Jodis point, as well as the point of this film. Whe I was little, I grew up with this movie. Back in the late 80's and early 90's the movie was new and had no label on it. It was gender friendly. Everyone can relate to this movie because of its pure fantasy like imagination. Ariel is this and ariel is that.............BUNK! Its a simple film that is made for your enjoyment. Rela and just enjoy the film as it is. Any film on this earth, I can pick apart because it is made by huma
Ok, crazy people searching for a life base in the Little Mermaid:
it's a fairytale people.......IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IDEALISTIC!!! I think that's why people love it, because it embraces all the enjoyable dreaminess of true love and Fairytale endings - everyone, especially little girls, loves the sheer simplicity of the tale!
@auryngirl And THIS is the sense I'm talking about! At least SOMEBODY here can be HONEST! Most little girls don't notice/CARE about Ariel's "passion", so much as: "Oooh, she's pretty and magical and cool, and she gets to marry a prince and she talks to fishes!"
Yes, I'll admit, Ariel is cool as cartoon role models go: she has heart, and spunk, and real warmth. She's ALSO rebellious, headstrong & yet gets EVERYTHING SHE WANTS in the end with NO consequences. The CRAB did all the work, man!
Oh yeah! And will he make (for Tangled) another Oscar-worthy Score, just like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame? Who knows ;)
@fsk8rgrl Oh yeah! And will he make (for Tangled) another Oscar-worthy Score, just like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame? Who knows ;)
i always like the little mermaid for the lesson i thought it taught when it's the witch's scene and shes convincing her that she doesn't need her voice because she had her looks to get any guy she wanted always residing with me because in the end it's her voice that ultimately get what she wants and shows that you need more than a pretty face to get what you want. you have to show your voice. idk i always looked at it that way ever since i was a kid.
I first watched this when i was three. Ariel inspired my personality ever since then and my love for singing and music. haha, such a big inspiration the little mermaid was!
Well, I think is for both reasons; yes, his looks had a lot to do with it (can you blame her?), but also what he represented was very very important. She wasn't going to fall in love with one of the ugly sailors, but if Prince Eric had been a triton, she wouldn't have fallen for him either. She could have found good looking tritons everywhere, but she was never interested in them.
@Serdikhan no she didnt she always wanted to live on shore then she sees eric and saves her after he wakes up she overhears him talking to his butler or advisor or whoever about the fact that he loves her and that is the final knot for her going two land. also all languages are unique and beautiful so dont rag on the one which is the most well known. Id bet that if the person who does the Bulgarian voice in english ud rag on it so bak off they are both beautiful voices and its not a competition.
What the hell is she talking about? Connection? Reaching for something? Approachable?
Girls and people like her because she's a bloody mermaid... and pretty. And there's a talking Jamaican crab.... people trying to symbolically blow things up piss me off.
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
the little memaid is the only female in dysney who makes the ultimate sacrifice , who risk everything against all odds to get the man and the life that she wants !!! looooooove her :-)

@Hueglow I totally agree. This whole princess thing is ridiculous because it gets girls into thinking that they will be only respected if they have some royal tittle, when the real princesses in the world, expect Princess Diana, don't do much or nothing at all to make this world better.

I love The Little Mermaid as a teenager. It's not a childhood memory to me, because I probably watch them now more than I did when I was little. I love Ariel because she broke the rules and she went out to live her dream. Besides that, her eyes AMAZE me (: And I'm a musical theatre person so I love her singing. I think that's why I'm so obsessed with Disney. I'm just one of those people (;

i love ariel so much bc she's a mermaid and we got to see different scenarios like the awesome castle where she lives. And the other reason i love her is because she was so dull like snow white, she wanted to be part of our world and she went for it! she didn't wait for prince charming, she loved eric and went for him! :) she was my role model, beside my mom of course lol :)

The little mermaid is unique in the way she is a mermaid, not a human (well, originally). And she was beautiful and got to live in a palace underwater. The story's feasible to children, and seriously, mermaids are the best, who didn't want to be one when they were little. That's why I loved it. Passion never came into it.
And that narrator sounds so bored. Cheer up, love! It's the little mermaid you get to talk about!

Dude, I liked the little mermaid because I would have givn anything to be a mermaid. She was always my favorite princess since I first saw it at age 6 or so because my brother had just begun introducing me to surfing and i became obsessed with the sea. I still am

Passion? I'm sorry but no it was totally the mermaid and the palace under the sea thing that got me as I couldn't even spell passion let alone comprehend it at such a young age. Just saying little girls aren't that deep or thoughtful...
TheDynastQueen 11 months ago 3
When i was young, i didn't even consider the fact about having a passion to get something i couldn't have. i liked ariel because she was the one who was truly talented, Sleeping Beauty recieved the gift of singing from one of the 3 fairies n all the other disney princesses just sang because it was a disney thing, but Ariel was born in a musical family and as i recall all her sisters (in the movie) said she was the best singer in the family :) She's also persistent in getting Eric

Okay jodi I like you alot but im a teenager and i still love ariel LOL because She is unique from the princesses not just cause shes a mermaid because she is actually fighting against others more so than others as a girl to love someone she basically cant have. She gives up her voice and still convinces eric they belong. Cinderella has the sad story, mulan the restrait, snow white and sleeping beauty are soem what the same, rapunzal is boring, and others are bland. Ariel is like every girl.

Ariel is amazing because she is the only lead disney female character that saves her mans life as opposed to being saved by him. The Little Mermaid was one of the first movies I remember watching when I was very little and i continually watched this movie as I grew up. I wanted to be like Ariel too. It wasn't untill I got into my teens that I truly started to understand her character and what she represents. :)

I was a little BOY when this movie first came out, and I can tell you that Ariel doesn't just make connections with little girls. My father was very much like King Triton, except very physically abusive as well as mental. I made a connection with Ariel because I too loved to explore, and my father was like her's. Thank you Ariel, Jodi Benson, and Mr. Hans Christian Andersen. :)

Well, I'm almost 20 yuears old. So this movie was pretty much brought out when I was about 4. I loved Ariel coz of all of Jodie's reason. I love her still, because i can identify with her more. It's one of those movies you can identify with the main characters at any age, with any kind of emotional depth and knowledge.

"she has a passion to experience the realm beyond her." Isn't that most, if NOT ALL, the disney princesses? I mean Jasmine was dissatisfied with a wealthy yet sheltered life... belle was sick of the redundant idylls of her provincial home... mulan, whose incentive was to help her father, actually felt her adventure to be more suitable than the suppressing domestication destined for her at home... can't think of anymore.. but yeah not original of ariel, but i loved her regardless!

Perhaps I thought a bit deeper, too. I liked Ariel because she was a mermaid of course, but also because she was angsty and she wanted to get away and start something with her life and follow her dreams. And she succeeded with the consent of her parents, which is a Disney miracle in itself. xD
I've always been angsty, so I can relate to Ariel's drive to escape, leave the nest, and follow her own path.
Wow. Never thought I'd be analyzing this movie so closely. xD

I loved the little mermaid, I think I was about 11 or 12 when I watched the video over and over and over again. I felt so much when watching her on her passionate adventures. Went to disney world a couple years ago and saw Aerial perform, it swept me away as usual, I sang the songs word for word. Love her till this day.

I always loved The Little Mermaid... It was never because of her being a mermaid or whatnot, she just had something about her that created great compassion, and it still does that to me. I always get choked up when I see her cry, watching that wedding-boat sail away with the prince, and she think she has lost him. :,)

I loved this movie when I was a kid because of all the reasons Jodi said (and more) and because she was a mermaid and was absolutely beautiful. So it goes to show that not every girl likes this movie when they're young because of what she looks like. Ariel was my idol when I was a kid because she stood up to her father and I never could. But the story is so magical and adventurous you cant help but get swept up by it all!

@Galygal77 I'm not gonna deny the validity of what your saying about your brother here, hon, but I just have a theroy that has little to do with Ariel specifically. Not saying anything bad here, just addressing it seriously. AsK your brother what he liked MOST about this movie, Areil's character....or watching Sebastian the Crab. 5 to1, most guys are going to say seeing that little crimson-colored bad boy was what kept your brother amused more.
Why? Because, ANY GUY with sisters can RELATE!

Gah you all miss Jodis point, as well as the point of this film. Whe I was little, I grew up with this movie. Back in the late 80's and early 90's the movie was new and had no label on it. It was gender friendly. Everyone can relate to this movie because of its pure fantasy like imagination. Ariel is this and ariel is that.............BUNK! Its a simple film that is made for your enjoyment. Rela and just enjoy the film as it is. Any film on this earth, I can pick apart because it is made by huma

@auryngirl And THIS is the sense I'm talking about! At least SOMEBODY here can be HONEST! Most little girls don't notice/CARE about Ariel's "passion", so much as: "Oooh, she's pretty and magical and cool, and she gets to marry a prince and she talks to fishes!"
Yes, I'll admit, Ariel is cool as cartoon role models go: she has heart, and spunk, and real warmth. She's ALSO rebellious, headstrong & yet gets EVERYTHING SHE WANTS in the end with NO consequences. The CRAB did all the work, man!

Well, I think is for both reasons; yes, his looks had a lot to do with it (can you blame her?), but also what he represented was very very important. She wasn't going to fall in love with one of the ugly sailors, but if Prince Eric had been a triton, she wouldn't have fallen for him either. She could have found good looking tritons everywhere, but she was never interested in them.

Id bet that if the person who does the Bulgarian voice in english ud rag on it so bak off they are both beautiful voices and its not a competition.
