Another Sin: Ariel could've just written down her situation to Eric. They already established that Ariel can write in English when she signed the contract.
That feels like a pretty big assumption to me. The quill is magical. All it requires is her to put it to the contract and it signs her name for her (she closes her eyes and looks away when this happens; who writes without looking at what they are writing?). It's like a magical version of the modern "click to sign" digital contracts. You don't have to be capable of writing to sign it.
@@SgtSupaman But Ursula never mentioned anything about forbidding Ariel from writing. All she said to her is to use body language to try communicate with Eric.
Um y’all do know that it wasn’t just any old kiss she needed from Eric right? Yeah she could’ve written it down for him but that would be in vain because he probably would think she’s crazy and she needed him to fall in love with her and give her true loves kiss before the sunset of the third day. Like am I the only one who actually remembers the movie or seen it 😅
15:05 In fairness, Sebastian has a ticking clock for securing a kiss (hence the lyrics emphasizing the kiss first). Also, kissing, even in these circumstances, is usually preceded by "leaning in for a kiss". That's the signal. That is the communication and request for consent (typically signified by the kissee leaning forward in kind). Not all romantic interactions need the signed and notarized contracts of Fifty Shades of Gray.
The Biggest Sin Sin is that Ariel wrote and signed on Ursula contract, but couldn't write to Prince Dumbass (Eric) on who she was to easily break the curse. YES, I know movie gotta Plot
How It Should Have Ended made note of that plot defect in their latest animated video when Ariel just wrote out the issue in the beach sand. Ursula was pissed she didn't think of that. LOL
Did he just fall asleep during the part of the movie where Triton has the entire freaking ocean looking for Ariel and Sebastian?? Like, ya Triton himself is in the throne room but cinnemasins makes a joke about not sending a search party when the movie confirms multiple search parties are out - "leave no stone unturned, no one in this kingdom sleeps until shes safe at home"...
I agree. This video is at least a week late, because I expected this video to come out on either the Tuesday or Thursday BEFORE the live-action remake hit theaters, maybe 8 days before the remake, but not anytime AFTER the remake's release.
@@Fictionboy16 Yeah, I thought they were going to sin this before the remake came out, since that’s what they did for movies like Aladdin, Mulan, and Pinocchio.
Eric is better than Gaston because if Ariel WAS already in a committed relationship with someone else, Eric doesn't seem like the type to lead an angry mob to kill that person. But you never know, he could be hiding a darker side.
He did take down Kaiju size Ursula with a sharp end of thr sunken ship he steered without batting an eye or even comment that he defeated an eldritch sea creature.
Plus he's a rich prince! Royal men were naturally entitled to get the woman they want ( as wife or concubine ), cuz there was no woman who refused a prince's advances in those times. Unless she was royalty herself and could chose. But not even married women were save from horny princes. Sometimes even their husbands encouraged it. Too many advantages came with such a liason.
In Gaston's defence (and trust me, it hurts to type those words), Belle had returned from being kidnapped, was not yet at the point of being in love with the beast, and showed them a magic mirror with a "monster" in it. Leading an angry mob to kill the Beast was probably the most logical course of action for him. But still, screw Gaston
I know a lot of this is satire and such but when he said that King Triton should send out a search party and all that, Triton did! When he's sitting on his throne moping, the scene right before a seahorse told him that theyve searched everywhere and Triton told them to search again until they're found. Though it is sinnable that he didnt think to check the surface as that was Ariel's obessesion and stuff
4:13 I always figured that random tiny “island” caused many shipwrecks, so Ariel would have many ships to search. Hence her large collection of human whosits, whatsits, gizmos, gadgets, and thingymabobs. Also, Scuttle probably stayed there to feast on the fish that fed on the corpses of the crews that crashed there plus their supplies and/or cargo
What? No sins for Ariel surviving her transformation into a human deep underwater without, at least, getting the bends? No sins for being pulled up to the surface by a crab and small fish? No sin for her seashell bra returning when she's a mermaid again?
@@moonman239 Ursula was a villain being a villain :) I wouldn't be surprised if she had no problem with the idea of Ariel drowning because that would destroy Triton. Look at how much it destroyed him when his wife was taken from him in the prequel. At least in the Hans Christian Anderson story, the sea witch told the mermaid to drink the potion while on land so she wouldn't drown. It's not as dramatic as what Disney did in the animated retelling, but at least the mermaid had a far higher chance of surviving. There was no set time limit in the story too, which gave more time for a relationship to develop, so long as the prince didn't marry someone else. Ursula basically set things up for Ariel to fail in various ways.
In the original, Ursula actually just gives Ariel a bottle of the potion and specifically instructs her to go to the surface before drinking it. People in the 1800's had better thoughtwork than Disney apparently.
In short, she knows him better than Triton, especially if you allow that she has good powers of empathy. Also, in a real way, Ariel is making a statement against stereotypes. Why are people fault-finding this line?
The number one thing that bugged me about this movie, is that she didn’t just write him a note. She can obviously write, she signed the contract, so why did she not think of telling him in writing.
@@patrickruth153 I am referring to the scene of Ariel witnessed the ship being caught in a terrible storm and sunk which Eric fell overboard, drowning and she immediately took action to save him and bring him ashore. Which is why King Triton got upset when he finds out his daughter made direct contact with a human.
Nah they hit this out of the park; You clearly have never tried to come between a teenage girl and her current love interest... As far as she's concerned, she knows everything about that individual and understands him more than anyone in the universe possibly could, including himself.
It's been 34 years since I first watched this movie and I can't tell you how many times I watched it growing up or with my younger siblings and my teams and I never noticed that!!! He even had to buy another tape because the original one we owned broke it was watched so much😂 fantastic catch!
King Triton did send out a search party for Ariel and Sebastian though. He told that little sea horse that helps him out to tell the entire kingdom to search for them and not rest till they are back. I’m confused why Cinemasins actually forgot that scene. Lol
This movie will always remind me of the time when I worked in a certain chain seafood restaurant that rhymes with Dead Mobster. On busy evenings when there was a long wait for tables, we would bring out a TV and VCR (yes, it was that long ago) and play movies to keep the kids entertained so they wouldn’t start having meltdowns from being bored. Well, one of the movies we would play happened to be “The Little Mermaid”. I tried to point out that this might not be the most appropriate movie to show to kids who were waiting to eat in a seafood restaurant, attempting to paint a picture of little sally having a meltdown and screaming “Mommy, are we going to eat Sebastian??” Management was, of course, completely oblivious to the irony. I was but a mere six dollar an hour hostess, so what would I possibly know about management level decisions such as choosing what movies to play for children waiting to eat Flounder? EDIT: to those asking for more of the story, sorry but there really isn’t more. I didn’t work there very long, it was a second job I had for a couple of months over 30 years ago and I honestly can’t remember if any meltdowns that occurred on my shift were due to exposure to animated seafood. I just always found it amusing that no one else there seemed to understand the irony.
This reminds me of a grown women I met who could only eat venison as long as you DIDN'T TELL HER it was venison. She said if she knew she felt like she'd be eating Bambi and couldn't do it. 😆
Ok. Let's just admit that all of the songs are pretty much top 10 all time. Under the sea, kiss the girl, poor unfortunate souls, part of your world. The aladin song, frozen, moana, Scar.
Part of that world in Original Little Mermaid: *doesn't takes a sin off* Part of that world in its live action remake: *adds a sin for unnecessary pitch shifting*
@@piperbird7193 Good catch! Forgot about that. Lets go on a deep dive of Disney movies and have an entire generation develop PTSD! I'll dig into the Grimm's and you can fill in the morose narrative and we can keep them in therapy ad infinitum!
King Triton in remorse: "What have I done?" Me: "You've destroyed your daughter's treasures, and in turn her heart. I'm surprised she didn't stab you to death in the middle of the night with your own trident!"
Honestly never cared for this movie, but I will say that Prince Eric is lowkey hardcore. Ship is on fire, he stays to save his dog. Sure he gets deceived by Ursula, but once he finds out who she really is, he fights tooth and nail to save Ariel and uses his previously sunken ship to outright kill Ursula.
@@benjaminmayer6152 He is quite quick on his feet and resourceful by immediately noticing one of the sunken ships rising up from the depths for him to board on it and steer it to Ursula for ramming attack.
Also did everyone in the movie forget Ariel is 16 And agreed she and Eric only knew each other for a FEW DAYS, how do they fall for each other that quickly
you do know this story originates from a time periode of 200ish years ago right? child marriage was entirely the norm back then. be glad disney time warped it a bit since this story originally came from the 1400s where r*pe was a common crime and prostitutes of 11-13 years old happened. and if sex happened the woman was forever branded as spoiled goods no matter what age unless they were married and it happened with their husband.
to stay human Ariel HAS to make him at least lust for her or she cant stay human and explore the on land life. lust and love were somewhat mixed terminology back then.this story had much darker undertones back when it was written as well. she just has to obtain a kiss in the disney version though. as for the few days thing. women were property back then. a marriage could literally happen within a month since arranged marriages happened OFTEN. the parents would get things squared away with the husband (or his family). then poof she gets a week to at best a couple months to get to know each other. then you gotta show the family a blood stained sheet on your marriage night proving she was a virgin. only nobility really had long term courtships since marriage amongst the poor carried a transfers of wealth/goods between the two families.
Most Disney films have couple falling in love in just a few days or less. Rapunzel and Eugene from 'Tangled' literally fell in love after spending one day with each other.
Fun fact: the thing said at 11:04, was almost the original plot. HC Andersen, the original author behind The Little Mermaid, had an ending where she leaves the Prince to pursue her own dreams.
@@KuroChipCiel Thing is, the fault was mainly on her (in a sad way) because he had no idea she liked him or that she was not a hallucination after he had a brain-injury. She kept projecting onto him, he flirted back and figured it was only a bit of playing and then he was just dim and did not understand why the mermaid was upset. It's a cautionary tale for boys and girls, about how you should not throw away your entire life for another partner, because that ends with you having no life. And how flirting with someone that is desperate for your love, is mean, if you knów you will not be staying with them and théy seem to think so.
I only wish there was a sin removed for Triton's character development. He went from being overprotective and controlling to putting his daughter's happiness before his own.
@@beethovensfidelio Let's run through the events. 1) Ariel misses a very important concert made by one of his longtime friends. 2) Triton finds her gushing about a prince in her hoard and goes on to destroy it 3) Ariel goes on to sign a contract with the sea-witch and then fails to fulfill her side of the bargain. 4) Triton signs the contract to save his daughter, the very same contract his daughter voluntarily signed because she wanted to run away. 5) The sea-witch is slain by Eric, the guy Ariel wanted to run away with. At no point has Ariel proven that she can be a mature, capable adult to Triton, nor would he have any reason to believe that she ran away to be with Eric more than she ran away to get away from Triton, so I don't see why Triton would bless this marriage other than Disney logic. She's also 16 years old in this movie.
@@aclassicguardsman946 Good points. Had the filmmakers of “The Little Mermaid” kept the deleted alternate ending, it would have given Ariel a much needed redemption arc, since Ariel’s apology in the deleted scene is a lot more *sincere* (only after she regains consciousness does she tearfully say to her father, *”Oh, Daddy. Daddy, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you...”):* ua-cam.com/video/FF0_JKyPCwE/v-deo.htmlm29s . According to the film’s audio commentary track, the alternate ending was cut because then-Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg had just seen the 1988 action film “Die Hard”, and he told “The Little Mermaid” directors John Musker and Ron Clements to make the ending *”more like ‘Die Hard’” (“Guys, guys, I want to see more ‘Die Hard’!”).* YES, REALLY! In other words, Katzenberg wanted to make the climax more epic, which explains why Ursula becomes gigantic in the final film. Damn you, Jeffrey Katzenberg! 😤 At least the Broadway version gave Ariel more agency in the climax as she kills Ursula by breaking Ursula’s conch shell into the ground, and Ariel’s apology to her father is a lot more genuine as she tells him *”I’ve caused you so much trouble. Can you ever forgive me?”:* ua-cam.com/video/8YCLuyllF4A/v-deo.htmlm40s Also, in the live action remake, Ariel feels actual remorse when she says to Triton, *”I’m sorry, father. This is all my fault”,* in response to Ursula telling Triton that she and Ariel made a deal.
6:05 just a little FYI: Oil paintings cannot get wet. If an oil painting suffers from water damage, it can cause the canvas to buckle and warp. The canvas may even be moldy.
Thank you. I literally got to this sin and went "I have no idea what happens to an oil canvas in water" then came and found your comment. Lol. I appreciate you.
Thank you for pointing out the Ursula thing. Ive been saying for years that even when Disney tried to turn the sea witch into a villian they did a crappy job. In the original the sea witch was just hanging out at her home when the little mermaid came making requests. She gave her what she wanted & sent her on her way. Then her sisters came to try & get the little mermaid out of the mess she had made & once again the sea witch obliged. She just wanted to stop being bothered.
After watching the film so may times, for some reason I always assumed that the statue of Eric just floated right into Ariel's grotto after it sunk during the storm since the cave had an opening in its roof. But I never actually had the thought Flounder would've moved it by himself which would've been impossible if you ask me.
That's probably why in Kingdom Hearts 2 when they did the movie's plot for Atlantica, they had Sora move it with magic. It doesn't make any sense in the movie.
I've worked the kitchen line in a seafood restaurant where I've made lobster rolls for 15 YEARS NOW and I can't believe that the "seawich/sea witch" pun never dawned on me. That's amazing.
And there you go missing the point of Ariel still pursuing her dreams and independence even after meeting Eric until Ursula, you know, the literal villain, makes it all about a kiss from Eric and thus puts him in the spotlight. Ariel already wanted to go live on land before meeting Eric and what pushed her over the edge was Triton destroying her collection of treasures, not Eric existing.
The problem is that Ariel’s dreams of wanting to explore the human world take a backseat to romance. Also, Ariel’s independence gets undermined by her depending on Eric to save her from Ursula. At least the live action remake puts more emphasis on Ariel exploring the human world and Ariel kills Ursula in the climax.
@@tanandalynch9441 Lol, love at first sight exists. I knew within two seconds of seeing my husband that I wanted, and could be happy with, him. Plus, have you ever been 16 or known a 16-year-old?
She didn't read the contract though and just because You can sign her name doesn't mean one she can write anything else or two she can write In the same language as Eric
You missed the fact that Triton could have just killed Ursula to save Ariel. Even if you assume that she’s immune to magic, that trident looks like as good a stabbing weapon as a ship’s mast, and whatever consequence he might have faced for murder (assuming that, as the king of the sea, he can’t just pardon himself), would that really be worse than losing his daughter or ending up as a “poor unfortunate soul?”
to be fair ursula is canonically his sister. even if he hates her guts alot of people in the same family will refuse to kill each other. since triton was portrayed as "easily angered but good" he has a moral code. where ursula being evil only has her own evil whims to follow.
More like Triton changed the signature from Ariel to his so that he takes her place and spare his daughter. While Ursula takes his trident and crown for herself as part of her long scheme, knowing that Triton will do anything to save his child.
@@rexlumontad5644 that was stupid of Triton. As a minor as the Contract had no parental co-signer it was null and void the moment Ariel as a minor went nope this as longer something I want part of. Contract with minor only hold as long as the minor want them.
@@geraldgrenier8132 There is no way Ariel is a minor in this movie, she gets married in a Disney movie that aired in the US. She just feels like one because she had little to no decision making power ever.
@@aclassicguardsman946 16 is still considered a minor 18 is the youngest you can be to legally be considered an adult. Disney let her marry just for the "happily ever after" Legal eagle has actually covered the contract here: ua-cam.com/video/S5GE0IjJAns/v-deo.html
@@aclassicguardsman946 The movie literally calls her 16. and Trition litreal treated her like a misbehaving child (also most US states allow a 16yo to marry with parental permission so the marriage isn't proof she not a minor)
How did Flounder lift a 16 year old girl out of the depths of the ocean once she became human? Like, she is five times his size. Does he have like a secret Hercules inside him? 😂
Normally, I despise it when Disney arbitrarily changes an original story, sometimes to the point of unrecognisability, but after reading a bunch of Hans Christian Andersen for a podcast idea I was trying to develop, I can understand why they made a bunch of changes for this story. When HCA effuses three times on a single page about The Prince's beauitful dancing-girl slaves -- YIKES.
You might enjoy the 1975 Toei anime version then. It's much closer to the original story, as the little mermaid dies, but it leaves out all the truly bloody and gorey parts of the story.
I think biologically mermaids would be more half dolphin than half fish as their fins run parallel to their bodies. So I reckon they'd have a little pocket that their genitals live in until needed, and give birth and breastfeed.
8:21 Apparently some mermaids in other stories also wear starfish bras… And if you consider where a starfish’s mouth is… Those starfishes are either dead or having the time of their life considering how much they’re stuck to a mermaid’s chest.
18:36 - Rainbows are essentially water prisms, so ya. Thing is, he created an inverted rainbow which requires a LOT more water and will NOT be that clear. Consider this entire movie spans about a week. The concert was the first day, Eric's birthday was probably the next day, he was rescued the next morning and Ariel signed the contract that night, then three more days for this contract to expire, then the day after Triton turns her into a human. That's not "in love". That's infatuation.
Wait, why can't Triton make a rainbow? He's literally the king of the sea, and a rainbow is just light passing through water droplets. I can make a rainbow just by putting my garden hose to mist, but Triton can't with control over the ocean itself?
CinemaSins doesn’t reference “Splash” in their episode, considering that the pitch for “The Little Mermaid” was initially rejected for being *too similar* to “Splash”, and that Ariel was given red hair in order to distinguish herself from the blonde mermaid Madison from “Splash”. That’s a major *DING!* 😂
Jeremy's reaction and the sin for the Sun made this entire Sins video. My goodness, that caught me off guard 😂 Love that they're sinning this classic, but shocked they didn't mention the plot hole about her literacy.
"Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price..." I count approximately ~35 pairs of eyes at 7:20 right in-frame. I'd say Urs hasn't managed full-disclosure, there.
My autistic brother used to watch this on a loop. Now that I spend a lot more time looking after him, I try and play this in the background for him (he's also blind, but really loves the songs).
I mean there are many issues with both Ariel and Eric, more so Ariel, but he is definitely better than Gaston. Eric genuinely cares about others, Gaston is a narcissist who wants to force Belle to be his, Eric believes in choice and doesn't push anyone to obey him.
There’s more: Ariel not being a full human before is able to control a horse carriage and make it jump over a cliff and is also unaware of casualties or near death. Also after Ursula’s death how did the trident fall back towards the King Triton Polyp?? Is it just like “the wand chooses the wizard”??
I never thought it as a cautionary tale, more like life happens and it's not always full-on happy endings. I don't think she would've been happy living as a mermaid, maybe she would've been frustrated and depressed instead. Now, at least she did got a chance to have immortal soul like she wanted, even if it was looking like she lost everything. Bittersweet yes, but cautionary, Idk... :/ Maybe so, but I can't see it as "she should've stayed home".
@@pohjanvanamo She shouldn't have stayed home, the parents should've let her out more often, so she wouldn't "latch on" to the first guy she met. She was too lonely.
One thing i've always wondered is.... How does Scuttle even know what the Sea Witch looks like? He's a seagull after all and only goes into the water for prey
Indeed-oh. Not denying the HISHE take was funny and insightful. It's just not absolute. A close look at the contract suggests menfolk and merfolk do not write the same language the same way. Allowing that she can write as detailed a message as she wants and that he'll get it, though? There's still the question of the Magicks registering true love's kiss. Can they just make out until they're in love?

Today I learned that Zion Clark and Gabe Adams exist and I have immediate respect for these absolute legends even though I've only seen the combined one second clip of both of them from this video
Waited YEARS for this. Honest trailers did it eons ago. But this was worth the wait! Also the contract should be null & void when Flotsam Jetsam flipped the boat.
I need to answer this: yes mermaids are mammals. 1. first they have breast, and those thing have a use so yes. 2. even the tails are up and down going, like mammals ( whales, dolphins) unlike fish, with fins that usually goes sideways, ( like sharks) 3. ariel has a daughter in the next movie. I know she got legs, but changing her reproductive system was not part of the deal. I mean, I don't think that would have been possible if she would lay eggs.
@@fee6362 human females contain eggs. eric could have had his mistress rosey palms deliver the seed to their daughters egg >_< but for the sake of truth....... there are several stories across europe where fey creatures like mermaids become humans. they are most the time fully human including in how they reproduce. magic is kinda like using gods sketch paper and drawing instruments really.
@@Everlucky_Clover well eggs and egg cells are different, and a human sperm could not fertilize a fish like egg. But you are right, I think the told her she would become a human. So... I guess that would include the reproduktiv system. They could be an egg laying species, or not, But I sure mermaids are mammals. ( It would be interesting to know if the tails as scales. If yes they would be more likely closer related to fish I think. or... maybe humans have evolved like we have, but for mermaids, a god or some powerful magical being looked down and thought: Hm, humans, whales, fish, platypus - all interesting, let's see what we can do with them. However, I hope the act itself is pretty similar. Picture marring your love, you become ready to have kids on your own, and that's the night your learn how humans make babies. Would be quite the shock.
@@Everlucky_Clover okay, I had to look it up, she had her daughter 2 year later, ( though, she was between 18 -19 and the age of conception was either 17 or 18 ... I really hope it was 18... I still think that to young, considering how much her whole life changed, and everything. But I really hope that act itself was something she expected.
So something else here. The moment Ariel becomes human she's struggling to catch her breathe and both Seb and Flounder assist her in getting to the surface. But unless Ursula's lair is only a few ft from the surface wouldn't Ariel drown before breaching the top like a whale? If not then Ursula needs to reconsider her living situation since she'd be only a few feet from the surface and could easily be discovered by humans.
im gonna lean hard on magic. even though ursula would be considered an evil genie trope (makes deals but doesnt always explain it to the fullest) she still has to make it so ariel lives to fail her contract. what we should really be sinning is how a 10 ounce crab and a not so good at swimming fish torpedoed her to the surface so fast.
@@jakushkadarkstalker6278 Guess it would depend on what form of respiration mermaids were naturally doing. Would assume whatever oxygen was already in the system would continue doing whatever it was already doing. What would be in question however is her lungs. Did magic replace her previous organs with human organs? Would they be filled with water, air, or vacuum? Probably should've got to land and expelled a lot of water, but I'm sure Disney didn't want to animate that.
Dolphins love human warships. I should know. In the US Navy, we attracted Dolphins often when we tested our Sonar, and one time an Orca pod. They'd literally be riding our bow wave while we trolled at anywhere from 8 to 12 knots.
15:15 Maybe but as a law student there are multiple issues, one being the fact that the terms of the contract are way to hazzy (like what exactly is a kiss of true love), two the terms are so lopsided and harsh as to be immortal so the contract would be void and three Arial is too young to form a binding contract in the first place.
Now since Ariel can read and write and the contract, as far as we know, doesn't dictate that she cannot write to the prince, she should have written to the Prince. Also the contract should be void because Ursula sent her goons to sabotage Ariel's chances to get her kiss. Also, also, what constitutes a kiss of your true love is open to debate, does they have to fall in love ? What exactly constitutes falling in love ?, Does it counts if she kisses him ?

The only sin I don't agree with is the rainbow one, rainbows are light and water so technically I think Triton could make rainbows on sunny days.
I also made a comment about this. If I can make a rainbow with a garden hose, then Tritan can definitely make one with all the powers of the sea.
Besides, if Elsa can make a dress with snow powers then nothing's off the table.
I think the word “sin” should be replaced with “questions I have.” 😂
Triton is a descendant of Poseidon, a Greek god.
Yes, but can he make an inverted rainbow? He got the color order backward. Red goes on the outside.
Eric is better than Gaston because if Ariel WAS already in a committed relationship with someone else, Eric doesn't seem like the type to lead an angry mob to kill that person. But you never know, he could be hiding a darker side.
He did take down Kaiju size Ursula with a sharp end of thr sunken ship he steered without batting an eye or even comment that he defeated an eldritch sea creature.
Plus he's a rich prince!
Royal men were naturally entitled to get the woman they want ( as wife or concubine ), cuz there was no woman who refused a prince's advances in those times. Unless she was royalty herself and could chose.
But not even married women were save from horny princes. Sometimes even their husbands encouraged it.
Too many advantages came with such a liason.
In Gaston's defence (and trust me, it hurts to type those words), Belle had returned from being kidnapped, was not yet at the point of being in love with the beast, and showed them a magic mirror with a "monster" in it. Leading an angry mob to kill the Beast was probably the most logical course of action for him. But still, screw Gaston
@@allisonpozzo well he WAS the villain A "DISNEY" villain
Well, in the fairy tale, he owned slaves and treated Ariel like a literal dog. Then rejected her for another princess. So, yeah.
I know a lot of this is satire and such but when he said that King Triton should send out a search party and all that, Triton did! When he's sitting on his throne moping, the scene right before a seahorse told him that theyve searched everywhere and Triton told them to search again until they're found. Though it is sinnable that he didnt think to check the surface as that was Ariel's obessesion and stuff
4:13 I always figured that random tiny “island” caused many shipwrecks, so Ariel would have many ships to search. Hence her large collection of human whosits, whatsits, gizmos, gadgets, and thingymabobs. Also, Scuttle probably stayed there to feast on the fish that fed on the corpses of the crews that crashed there plus their supplies and/or cargo
Scuttlebutt is a seagull, not a vulture

What? No sins for Ariel surviving her transformation into a human deep underwater without, at least, getting the bends? No sins for being pulled up to the surface by a crab and small fish? No sin for her seashell bra returning when she's a mermaid again?
Ursula could've propelled her to the top, but that jerk just let her risk drowning instead.
@@moonman239 Ursula was a villain being a villain :) I wouldn't be surprised if she had no problem with the idea of Ariel drowning because that would destroy Triton. Look at how much it destroyed him when his wife was taken from him in the prequel.
At least in the Hans Christian Anderson story, the sea witch told the mermaid to drink the potion while on land so she wouldn't drown. It's not as dramatic as what Disney did in the animated retelling, but at least the mermaid had a far higher chance of surviving. There was no set time limit in the story too, which gave more time for a relationship to develop, so long as the prince didn't marry someone else. Ursula basically set things up for Ariel to fail in various ways.
In the original, Ursula actually just gives Ariel a bottle of the potion and specifically instructs her to go to the surface before drinking it. People in the 1800's had better thoughtwork than Disney apparently.
It's literally magic
I mean... if Triton controls water, it stands to reason that he can put water in the air in the right spot for the light to make a rainbow

The better response would be, "I can't stand by and let him drown!"

For real tho
In short, she knows him better than Triton, especially if you allow that she has good powers of empathy. Also, in a real way, Ariel is making a statement against stereotypes. Why are people fault-finding this line?
The number one thing that bugged me about this movie, is that she didn’t just write him a note. She can obviously write, she signed the contract, so why did she not think of telling him in writing.
King Triton: “Is it true you rescued a human from drowning?!”
Ariel: “You don’t even know him!”

He told that little sea horse that helps him out to tell the entire kingdom to search for them and not rest till they are back.
I’m confused why Cinemasins actually forgot that scene. Lol
Cinemasins sometimes say mean things on purpose.
This movie will always remind me of the time when I worked in a certain chain seafood restaurant that rhymes with Dead Mobster. On busy evenings when there was a long wait for tables, we would bring out a TV and VCR (yes, it was that long ago) and play movies to keep the kids entertained so they wouldn’t start having meltdowns from being bored. Well, one of the movies we would play happened to be “The Little Mermaid”. I tried to point out that this might not be the most appropriate movie to show to kids who were waiting to eat in a seafood restaurant, attempting to paint a picture of little sally having a meltdown and screaming “Mommy, are we going to eat Sebastian??” Management was, of course, completely oblivious to the irony. I was but a mere six dollar an hour hostess, so what would I possibly know about management level decisions such as choosing what movies to play for children waiting to eat Flounder?
EDIT: to those asking for more of the story, sorry but there really isn’t more. I didn’t work there very long, it was a second job I had for a couple of months over 30 years ago and I honestly can’t remember if any meltdowns that occurred on my shift were due to exposure to animated seafood. I just always found it amusing that no one else there seemed to understand the irony.
F*cking Management
This reminds me of a grown women I met who could only eat venison as long as you DIDN'T TELL HER it was venison. She said if she knew she felt like she'd be eating Bambi and couldn't do it. 😆

Also did everyone in the movie forget Ariel is 16
And agreed she and Eric only knew each other for a FEW DAYS, how do they fall for each other that quickly
you do know this story originates from a time periode of 200ish years ago right? child marriage was entirely the norm back then. be glad disney time warped it a bit since this story originally came from the 1400s where r*pe was a common crime and prostitutes of 11-13 years old happened. and if sex happened the woman was forever branded as spoiled goods no matter what age unless they were married and it happened with their husband.
to stay human Ariel HAS to make him at least lust for her or she cant stay human and explore the on land life. lust and love were somewhat mixed terminology back then.this story had much darker undertones back when it was written as well. she just has to obtain a kiss in the disney version though.
as for the few days thing. women were property back then. a marriage could literally happen within a month since arranged marriages happened OFTEN. the parents would get things squared away with the husband (or his family). then poof she gets a week to at best a couple months to get to know each other. then you gotta show the family a blood stained sheet on your marriage night proving she was a virgin.
only nobility really had long term courtships since marriage amongst the poor carried a transfers of wealth/goods between the two families.
Most Disney films have couple falling in love in just a few days or less. Rapunzel and Eugene from 'Tangled' literally fell in love after spending one day with each other.
Fun fact: the thing said at 11:04, was almost the original plot. HC Andersen, the original author behind The Little Mermaid, had an ending where she leaves the Prince to pursue her own dreams.
She dies for him because he marries another girl. Only saw the mermaid as a sister. C: one hell of a friendzone
@@KuroChipCiel Thing is, the fault was mainly on her (in a sad way) because he had no idea she liked him or that she was not a hallucination after he had a brain-injury.
She kept projecting onto him, he flirted back and figured it was only a bit of playing and then he was just dim and did not understand why the mermaid was upset.
It's a cautionary tale for boys and girls, about how you should not throw away your entire life for another partner, because that ends with you having no life.
And how flirting with someone that is desperate for your love, is mean, if you knów you will not be staying with them and théy seem to think so.

@@bloodybee3553 I see what you did there
@@TheChessicfayth I didn't do anything there...
I only wish there was a sin removed for Triton's character development. He went from being overprotective and controlling to putting his daughter's happiness before his own.
With very little that actually convinced me Triton would change this way in this series of events.
@@aclassicguardsman946How so?
@@beethovensfidelio
Let's run through the events.
1) Ariel misses a very important concert made by one of his longtime friends.
2) Triton finds her gushing about a prince in her hoard and goes on to destroy it
3) Ariel goes on to sign a contract with the sea-witch and then fails to fulfill her side of the bargain.
4) Triton signs the contract to save his daughter, the very same contract his daughter voluntarily signed because she wanted to run away.
5) The sea-witch is slain by Eric, the guy Ariel wanted to run away with.
At no point has Ariel proven that she can be a mature, capable adult to Triton, nor would he have any reason to believe that she ran away to be with Eric more than she ran away to get away from Triton, so I don't see why Triton would bless this marriage other than Disney logic. She's also 16 years old in this movie.
@@aclassicguardsman946 Good points.
Had the filmmakers of “The Little Mermaid” kept the deleted alternate ending, it would have given Ariel a much needed redemption arc, since Ariel’s apology in the deleted scene is a lot more *sincere* (only after she regains consciousness does she tearfully say to her father, *”Oh, Daddy. Daddy, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you...”):* ua-cam.com/video/FF0_JKyPCwE/v-deo.htmlm29s .
According to the film’s audio commentary track, the alternate ending was cut because then-Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg had just seen the 1988 action film “Die Hard”, and he told “The Little Mermaid” directors John Musker and Ron Clements to make the ending *”more like ‘Die Hard’” (“Guys, guys, I want to see more ‘Die Hard’!”).*
YES, REALLY!
In other words, Katzenberg wanted to make the climax more epic, which explains why Ursula becomes gigantic in the final film.
Damn you, Jeffrey Katzenberg! 😤
At least the Broadway version gave Ariel more agency in the climax as she kills Ursula by breaking Ursula’s conch shell into the ground, and Ariel’s apology to her father is a lot more genuine as she tells him *”I’ve caused you so much trouble. Can you ever forgive me?”:* ua-cam.com/video/8YCLuyllF4A/v-deo.htmlm40s
Also, in the live action remake, Ariel feels actual remorse when she says to Triton, *”I’m sorry, father. This is all my fault”,* in response to Ursula telling Triton that she and Ariel made a deal.
6:05 just a little FYI: Oil paintings cannot get wet. If an oil painting suffers from water damage, it can cause the canvas to buckle and warp. The canvas may even be moldy.
Thank you. I literally got to this sin and went "I have no idea what happens to an oil canvas in water" then came and found your comment. Lol. I appreciate you.
Thank you for pointing out the Ursula thing. Ive been saying for years that even when Disney tried to turn the sea witch into a villian they did a crappy job. In the original the sea witch was just hanging out at her home when the little mermaid came making requests. She gave her what she wanted & sent her on her way. Then her sisters came to try & get the little mermaid out of the mess she had made & once again the sea witch obliged. She just wanted to stop being bothered.
She even warned Ariel that what she was doing was dumb
I just love the fact that “poor unfortunate souls” got the sin removal.
That songs awesome.
Edit fixed spelling
After watching the film so may times, for some reason I always assumed that the statue of Eric just floated right into Ariel's grotto after it sunk during the storm since the cave had an opening in its roof. But I never actually had the thought Flounder would've moved it by himself which would've been impossible if you ask me.
That's probably why in Kingdom Hearts 2 when they did the movie's plot for Atlantica, they had Sora move it with magic. It doesn't make any sense in the movie.
There was a supplementary comic book that illustrated Flounder had a squid friend to help him out.
I seem to recall an animated short showing flounder getting the help of a whale friend of his to move the statue.
he could have asked some extra fish to help him. it's self explanatory and showing it would have needlessly padded the runtime
In the original story, the statue of the prince is already at the bottom of the sea in a wrecked ship,....no 1 had to move it!
.
I've worked the kitchen line in a seafood restaurant where I've made lobster rolls for 15 YEARS NOW and I can't believe that the "seawich/sea witch" pun never dawned on me. That's amazing.
And there you go missing the point of Ariel still pursuing her dreams and independence even after meeting Eric until Ursula, you know, the literal villain, makes it all about a kiss from Eric and thus puts him in the spotlight. Ariel already wanted to go live on land before meeting Eric and what pushed her over the edge was Triton destroying her collection of treasures, not Eric existing.
Thank you. Also; female heterosexuality is not a problem as this video implies.
Yeah but she did fall in love with him way too fast
The problem is that Ariel’s dreams of wanting to explore the human world take a backseat to romance.
Also, Ariel’s independence gets undermined by her depending on Eric to save her from Ursula.
At least the live action remake puts more emphasis on Ariel exploring the human world and Ariel kills Ursula in the climax.
Uh, there's a reasonable doubt there,@@beethovensfidelio

She didn't read the contract though and just because You can sign her name doesn't mean one she can write anything else or two she can write In the same language as Eric
@@kamikelly3908 that's fair. She still could have spelled out her name for him at least
You missed the fact that Triton could have just killed Ursula to save Ariel.
Even if you assume that she’s immune to magic, that trident looks like as good a stabbing weapon as a ship’s mast, and whatever consequence he might have faced for murder (assuming that, as the king of the sea, he can’t just pardon himself), would that really be worse than losing his daughter or ending up as a “poor unfortunate soul?”
Come to that, would anybody really object to him killing a sea witch?
to be fair ursula is canonically his sister. even if he hates her guts alot of people in the same family will refuse to kill each other. since triton was portrayed as "easily angered but good" he has a moral code. where ursula being evil only has her own evil whims to follow.
She isn't immune. The contract is. She used it as a shield and he also could have just stabbed her.
@@Everlucky_Clover in this movie, it isn't canon. they did think of that, but scrapped this idea

11:19 _He bleeped the * in the contract, I'm dead!_
17:00 To be fair, she knew her part in the contract, but she didn't know Ursula's intent to insert Triton into the contract.

Consider this entire movie spans about a week. The concert was the first day, Eric's birthday was probably the next day, he was rescued the next morning and Ariel signed the contract that night, then three more days for this contract to expire, then the day after Triton turns her into a human. That's not "in love". That's infatuation.
Wait, why can't Triton make a rainbow? He's literally the king of the sea, and a rainbow is just light passing through water droplets. I can make a rainbow just by putting my garden hose to mist, but Triton can't with control over the ocean itself?
CinemaSins doesn’t reference “Splash” in their episode, considering that the pitch for “The Little Mermaid” was initially rejected for being *too similar* to “Splash”, and that Ariel was given red hair in order to distinguish herself from the blonde mermaid Madison from “Splash”.

Biggest sin is that the Mermaid did not die, which destroys the entire cautionary-tale.
OH hey, you mentioned it around 11:20.
The original story does exactly that.
I never thought it as a cautionary tale, more like life happens and it's not always full-on happy endings. I don't think she would've been happy living as a mermaid, maybe she would've been frustrated and depressed instead. Now, at least she did got a chance to have immortal soul like she wanted, even if it was looking like she lost everything. Bittersweet yes, but cautionary, Idk... :/

This isn't one of my top 3, but I was laughing the whole time. 😆
same, which is why I find the live action version especially offensive. Especially since I married a ginger
Waited YEARS for this. Honest trailers did it eons ago. But this was worth the wait! Also the contract should be null & void when Flotsam Jetsam flipped the boat.
I need to answer this: yes mermaids are mammals.
1. first they have breast, and those thing have a use so yes.
2. even the tails are up and down going, like mammals ( whales, dolphins) unlike fish, with fins that usually goes sideways, ( like sharks)
3. ariel has a daughter in the next movie. I know she got legs, but changing her reproductive system was not part of the deal. I mean, I don't think that would have been possible if she would lay eggs.
Mammals just means breastfeeding. Mammals can lay eggs
@@wor1dconquerer170 True but that extremely rare. And I also don't think he could have fertilized an egg.
@@fee6362 human females contain eggs. eric could have had his mistress rosey palms deliver the seed to their daughters egg >_< but for the sake of truth....... there are several stories across europe where fey creatures like mermaids become humans. they are most the time fully human including in how they reproduce. magic is kinda like using gods sketch paper and drawing instruments really.
@@Everlucky_Clover well eggs and egg cells are different, and a human sperm could not fertilize a fish like egg.
But you are right, I think the told her she would become a human. So... I guess that would include the reproduktiv system.
They could be an egg laying species, or not, But I sure mermaids are mammals.
( It would be interesting to know if the tails as scales. If yes they would be more likely closer related to fish I think.
or... maybe humans have evolved like we have, but for mermaids, a god or some powerful magical being looked down and thought: Hm, humans, whales, fish, platypus - all interesting, let's see what we can do with them.
However, I hope the act itself is pretty similar. Picture marring your love, you become ready to have kids on your own, and that's the night your learn how humans make babies. Would be quite the shock.
@@Everlucky_Clover okay, I had to look it up, she had her daughter 2 year later, ( though, she was between 18 -19 and the age of conception was either 17 or 18 ... I really hope it was 18... I still think that to young, considering how much her whole life changed, and everything.
But I really hope that act itself was something she expected.
Me: Hey Ariel, nice seashells.
Ariel: Oh, they're just B-shells, but thanks.
So something else here.
The moment Ariel becomes human she's struggling to catch her breathe and both Seb and Flounder assist her in getting to the surface. But unless Ursula's lair is only a few ft from the surface wouldn't Ariel drown before breaching the top like a whale? If not then Ursula needs to reconsider her living situation since she'd be only a few feet from the surface and could easily be discovered by humans.
What about the bends as well? Going from that deep to the surface without decompressing would have killed her, no?
im gonna lean hard on magic. even though ursula would be considered an evil genie trope (makes deals but doesnt always explain it to the fullest) she still has to make it so ariel lives to fail her contract.
what we should really be sinning is how a 10 ounce crab and a not so good at swimming fish torpedoed her to the surface so fast.
@@jakushkadarkstalker6278 Guess it would depend on what form of respiration mermaids were naturally doing. Would assume whatever oxygen was already in the system would continue doing whatever it was already doing. What would be in question however is her lungs. Did magic replace her previous organs with human organs? Would they be filled with water, air, or vacuum? Probably should've got to land and expelled a lot of water, but I'm sure Disney didn't want to animate that.
14:39 The Sun comment broke me 😂
I laughed for a long time about that
Actually drawing the angry eyebrows on the dolphins is sending me 😂
"The most powerful force of all is contract law"
Well, it is Disney...
Dolphins love human warships. I should know. In the US Navy, we attracted Dolphins often when we tested our Sonar, and one time an Orca pod. They'd literally be riding our bow wave while we trolled at anywhere from 8 to 12 knots.
15:15 Maybe but as a law student there are multiple issues, one being the fact that the terms of the contract are way to hazzy (like what exactly is a kiss of true love), two the terms are so lopsided and harsh as to be immortal so the contract would be void and three Arial is too young to form a binding contract in the first place.
What this movie taught me as a kid was listen to your parents!! I wasn't about to disobey after seeing the nonsense arial got into.
Reasonable explanation for 9:12 is Ursula, or whomever, cast magic onto one eye each of the two eels; perhaps even giving them surgical implants.
Now since Ariel can read and write and the contract, as far as we know, doesn't dictate that she cannot write to the prince, she should have written to the Prince.
Also the contract should be void because Ursula sent her goons to sabotage Ariel's chances to get her kiss.
Also, also, what constitutes a kiss of your true love is open to debate, does they have to fall in love ? What exactly constitutes falling in love ?, Does it counts if she kisses him ?
The delivery of Thingamabomb was delightful 😂
Sins: I want a prequel for Ursula.
Disney: so a live action remake?
“go eat a bag of dingle hoppers” I’m using that one😂
so many lines that took me out. Excellent as usual THANK YOU
MY ABSOLUTE FAV AS A KID ❤❤
Wait, you get sinned for saying "under my ocean" but not for singing "under the sea"? It should be "IN THE SEA!" 😊
flounder getting stuck in that hole while ariel slides straight through it is the biggest sin ever
This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Thank you for sinning it. Genuinely. I love you guys' videos!
