It pales to to the 1989 Little Mermaid. I missed the charm of the animated characters & the news songs were edited & subpar. My biggest surprise was Ariel going off with the prince, a tarnished women. The 1800's didn't allow single couples freedom without chaperons & such. She disgraced her family, as Jane Austen proved in Pride & Prejudice. Maybe they're sailing to Greta Green. I'd stick to the cartoon for laughs, songs & fun. Disney's live-action are quite bad. I give it no stars.
Plus King Triton is a polygamist...daughters from every continent. No wonder he let Ariel leave with a prince...wheres the morals
This movie is simply horrid, I'm watching it now & laugh at the bad crying & dialogue and music. I think Disney meant to trash it. Don't waste your time. Disney is burning..life action sucks...stick to classics. Wherer are they now?
