Ursula is very purple, large, and has a deep voice. Basically, she's unattractive. Ariel is pretty and Tritan is a strong, masculine man. So, the first obvious contrast is in appearance. Ursula is the evil one, and Ariel and Tritan are on the good side.

My first impression is that Ariel is the good girl, because she has an innocent goal. She just wants to know what the human world is like; she wants to learn more. However, Ursula is bad because she's jealous of Tritan and Ariel and her goal is to harm them.

The prince just saved his dog from a burning ship... How can we not love him? If that doesn't create a hero, then what possibly could? Ariel just saved the prince from drowning in the ocean. She's a hero.

This movie kind of presents the idea that there's a better life out there than yours. Ariel is so unhappy with her life that she's willing to risk her voice and disobey her father in order to go find a new world and be with a man. This is a disturbing concept to teach young girls: give everything you have to make yourself the perfect fit for a man and you'll be happy. Somehow I feel like I personally ingested this message and that didn't exactly end positively for me.

I love how Ursula pretends that she helps people with needs when she really scams them. How does Ariel even seriously believe this load of crap? Does she not see this mole? Does she not see the souls and the evil fish? RED FLAGS!

Oh and how is she willing to give up her entire family for a guy? Unacceptable!!!!!!! I'm surprised Disney let this one slide considering they're most important value is family.

It's important to note that even though Ariel traded her voice for legs, her voice is actually what Prince Eric was in love with. So, Ursula was incorrect in her statement.

Disney movies are a lot sadder when you actually understand what's going on. I can't believe Ursula played Ariel like this. She really created a cute girl and gave her Ariel's voice. The fact that this doesn't work out just goes to show that you have to be original.

Ursula is even more disgusting and terrifying when she's angry. I probably will have nightmares about giant Ursula; I'm not kidding. Her voice gets even deeper when she's angry too.

OMG, YES! Happy ending! Not that I didn't expect this happy ending, but I'm legitimately excited for this one. I'm happier with the fact that her father was willing to give up what he believes is right in order to see her happy than the fact that her and the prince fell in love. Oh and, I'm glad that Ursula is gone too.

Disney love is so extremely corny and so is the rainbow at the end of the movie.
