LOL ... loved the end :) Yes, 47 year old here, so have seen The Little Mermaid MANY times. The music WAS the movie. I could belt out any song (and did) many times over. When our daughters watched this we said to them, "BAD decision, Ariel" while simultaneously singing "He-he-he, Hou-hou-hou" for all it's worth! Here's a fun Scuttle tribute (Kiss the Girl) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RZE0hCcNFiA

It's always interesting to rewatch something that you enjoyed as a child again as an adult. As a child, I never picked up on the subtext. As an adult, I cannot unsee it all now. The music is still great, but this is not my favorite Disney movie of all the options to watch. Thanks for covering this!

Hey disagree VEHMETLY with you Johnno. I still don't see it that way and I find that reaching. It was always a grass always greener interpretation based off separate people. She wanted a life she...I am gonna say Adored and Idolized. Which should be a harmful message. Despite her being the bridge not a great message. Can we get in update?
