32) If my aunt knew about Fandom Secrets, I would be almost certain that she wrote this. But she doesn't. And she doesn't keep her hatred for Ariel a secret either. Seriously, that's one of the reasons why I didn't own a copy of The Little Mermaid as a kid. Anyways, I liked the movie and Ariel a lot when I was little but looking back, the message seems kinda disturbing. A sixteen year old girl who gives up her life with her family just to be with a guy she thinks she's in love with but actually hadn't had a real conversation with him yet. And roughly about a month later, they get married. The fuck? I mean, maybe it's because I'm sixteen myself but I can't imagine myself doing that. And yeah, I also think she is somewhat overrated but she does stand out from the other Disney princesses. After all, she's a mermaid and they're humans. She does have alot of appeal. Hell, I even have a soft spot for her because she's a mermaid (they're my favorite mythical creature). But I do see where you are coming from. Personally, I'm more of a Belle, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Esmeralda fan.
