      I remember. It’s on Disney+ just like the prequel movie “Ariel’s Beginning”, the Original 1989 movie, and the sequel movie “Return to the Sea”. Disney+ seems to have every single adventure of The Little Mermaid. It won’t be long before Disney+ has every Star Wars movie and spin off TV series made.

    I just realized Ariel is basically the first Anthropologist, and shes studying humans.
    The show was so good at exporing her character in that feild, the most Nerdy Disney Princess.
    I love the episodes when she finds new human items that makes a powrshift in the sealife socity like the boot that is a weapon or the armband that gets stuck.
    I love how her character is about being smart but also empathic towards others. She is not busy with boys or her beauty, but with her fandom and her friends. All the villains are aspects of powerlust or greed, and she saves the kingdom many times.
    Her father represents strength, but Ariel represents knowledge, and just as wise the father can be, just as naive can Ariel be.
    In many ways the serie is better than the movie (yes I said it) because after she becomes human she becomes super silly.
    the show is more like her in the start of the movie, dreamy and curious

      I totally agree, she is a fantastic character, when I was a kid I always got upset when Ariel got married. I loved her at the beginning but couldn't relate to her motives when she was human. Wish she'd just fallen for the human world rather than a dude. They totally enriched the best parts of her character in the series and comic books. Hopefully even though she got married, she came into her own as princess/queen cos she had the making to be a great leader as you point out!

      Honestly if they're going to make it a black Ariel they need to make it a different character because Ariel is a very known Icon by Disney and that robs the character when you just end up calling her black Ariel and this isn't by me this is from the mouths of babes and a total disservice to the black community by handing an already existing character and changing up her colors to please insane people who may have good intentions but they're very destructive at least psychologically because it's basically saying hear you weren't something new well here's the same thing but with a new package that's lazy and just scummy at least call her something different and give her different colors I would suggest purple purple is a very pretty color for a mermaid and heck this can be closer to Modern Times just not that one weird mermaid movie they did and I can tell the story of what happened after Ariel try to merge merfolk and land Folk or it could be more of an origin story before Ariel and how the mermaids created Atlantis and stay primarily under the sea again I'm not against a black mermaid I'm against changing up characters skin color for the sake of looking Progressive and thinking people are just going to take it and be happy with the same s*** wrapped in a different package because again that is not right if you're going to go this route do a different story with a different character because you might find something really cool out of it and really cool ideas

      @@emilyrose9854 you hate false progressive shit which I totally agree with it's just when people speak up about it, it gets attacked and everything which in itself is so ironically stupid.
      I don't get the point of having super accurate like beauty and the beast which they did have some black people cause they were super progressive for that time but had it mainly white cause most french are. Then do what they are doing with the little mermaid when it was Danish like think the movie frozen....just comes off fake progressive. Like I'd be pissed if Mulan isn't Chinese for example if you want to have more people of color why not find an awesome well known story about a princess in Africa and do that along with other countries? they need new and fresh stories anyways instead of recycling stuff! I'd love that like they did with Moana but I remember in the 90s loving all these Disney princesses with dark brown hair like mine but I still loved Aurora from sleeping beauty too. Plus I could see some natural red haired girls feeling left out which isn't right either. God every girl I know with natural red hair has extreme self esteem issues tbh and the little mermaid was really their only girly girl Disney princess cause Merida wasn't at all like that and was more about the bond of mother and daughter. Just keep the original the original and create new stories where you have several examples of women around the world. Like we need something more than just Tiana for an example from princess and the frog which that movie I love even tho it came out when I was way older.
      Idk I'm rambling on probably not making sense I'm just saying they need to stop recycling and if do so respect the original while creating new just as beautiful stories. Like why is there just Mulan from that side of the world why not one if the very many Japanese folktales?! It's like replacing Mulan with a girl from Korea or Russia and I don't care for it.

      Some years later, well after Andersen made himself an obnoxious houseguest to Charles Dickens, an Austrian Jew in love was rejected by his beloved in favour of another Jewish musician, and he poured his heartbreak into a three-part suite for orchestra. He was quite dissatisfied with the result, and the score was lost for nearly a century.

    You know, I think I like that Triton had that episode dedicated to his anger management issues right before the events of the move itself would have taken place. In the film, there's this under played moment when Triton pauses for half a beat, right after he's destroyed Ariel's collection, and I think that you could read that as him realizing that he had relapsed, and effectively broken the promise that he made about learning to control his anger. Which works, I think. He'd been nursing that rage toward humanity for a long time. It probably would have taken a lot of time and effort for him to get his anger under control, especially when he's kind of shown to be a bit of a. . .absent parent, due to his kingly duties.

      Heh heh, yeah, Kura, that was a compelling reason for me too, even if I wasn't exactly thinking that at the time. I was actually reading an article about Ariel's design, and it made a surprising observation. Her body proportions are kinda crazy, what with her back seemingly bent in half to allow for greater flexibility in the water, and her center of gravity fixated near her upper chest, which would likely cause her to tip over a lot more in real life. That's before you even get to how exactly the whole "swimming with fins" thing is supposed to work; I've heard a few real-life "mermaids" who do promotional work while wearing artificial tails describe how it's ridiculously uncomfortable and nearly impossible to retrain the brain to compensate for leg immobility (no word on whether wheelchair life could make that sort of thing easier, but I personally doubt it).

    wild sea horse that Ariel was trying to tame but ended up hitting her head on a branch, not seeing it as the sea
    horse was swimming past and being taken home unconscious.
    That and the submarine episode.

    I watched this show so much on Toon Disney, all in reruns because I was born a few years after its original run. Same with the Aladdin, Hercules and Timon & Pumbaa series. Back then, I would have a lot of trouble sleeping through the night (always the night owl). And I distinctly remember sneaking out of bed around that time to watch the reruns of TLM until the sun came up. Then I would turn the TV off, sneak off to bed before my parents got up to wake me up for school... I definitely had a hard time staying awake through the schoolday because of it.

    It's a shame 😔they're not on TV anymore but at least they're on Complete DVD collections to keep the memories alive. But I still wished that The Wuzzles , The Little Mermaid, Aladdin , Hercules, Timon and Pumba, Gargoyles, Might Ducks, House of Mouse, American Dragon Jake Long and Kim Possible were finally on complete DVD collection at last as they're the only ones that weren't on Complete DVD released🤞.

I remember Gabriella even though I didn't ever see that episode, because everyone on the playground knew and talked about her!
