little mermaid
In the Disney movie “The Little Mermaid”, it tells a story of Ariel- a smart, beautiful and adventurous princess of the sea king who is captivated by the world of human beings on land. She always dreams that one day she can become a real girl who can travel all around the world and dance with two feet. However, although Ariel has a lovely face and the sweetest voice, she is displeased with her physical attributes as a mermaid with fish tail. She can only try to know about people by collecting the items they left in the sea, from a tiny fork to a huge statue. One day, Ariel is completely acquainted with handsome Prince Eric who has a sexy smile from her observations on the side of the boat when she swims to the surface of the sea. The love at first sight promotes Ariel to make a deal with sea witch, using her voice to exchange a pair of human feet, to be together with the prince forever.

    “We don’t think of it as a traditional Princess Movie.”, from the producer of Frozen. In fact, Disney Animation Studio hasn’t produced traditional Princess Movie for a long time. After the rise of Pixar and DreamWorks, Disney is always finding its own differences from other animation studios, that what is its unique and simple. They understand more clear that they must “keep moving forward”, not only on the prince & princess story plot, but also on the development of the internal thesis. When politics talk about Disney Princess, they may concern a lot with the feminism, that women has taken half parts of the role on the Earth. Through reviewing different Princess Movies from different eras in the history, audience may notice the influence of…

    This can be seen as a push for feminism in the movie because it doesn’t focus on her being because she’s a girl. Also it changes how things are normally executed in fairytales. Some examples include Tiana rescuing Naveen, the princess also being changed into an animal, Prince Naveen being a playboy and they changing into a hard worker, and Mama Odie who says to think about your wishes and if that’s really what you want. These are probably introduced into the movie because Disney is looking to find a prompt that will make people watch and buy the movie. Viewers want to have a role model that will be a good example for small children and make them change themselves for the…

    Unfortunately, the sun set on the third day. This meant that Ariel now belonged to Ursula forever. But, King Triton stepped in. “To save his daughter, King Triton gave Ursula his great powers and became her prisoner” (Musker & Clements 13). I believe that King Triton is the heroic one in this fairytale because he was willing to give up his powers as king of the sea just to save his daughter that betrayed him in the first place. If anything, that is true love and not the blinded love Ariel felt for the prince. Of course, the story focuses more on Prince Eric saving Ariel by killing the sea-witch, Ursula. In the end, the Prince Eric and Ariel share true loves kiss and live happily ever after. But, the ending still leaves me questioning how true…

    Tiana is not isolated in a tower or castle, she is involved in and contributes to the world around her. In doing so, she finds herself so absorbed in getting what she wants that she forgets what she needs – to live, to have fun, to experience relationships – becoming a Disney princess who is hard-working but takes her work to an extreme. The film then introduces an equally extreme complement for Tiana: Prince Naveen. Although not a memorable prince, Naveen provides the opposite end of the spectrum from Tiana; he is charming, conceited, and barely motivated, but his path is incredibly similar to Tiana’s. Naveen, too, is focused on what he wants – a party life with plenty of money and women – and is oblivious to what he actually needs. By forcing each character into an external change by becoming frogs, the characters are forced through an internal change in their pursuit of a return to their normal lives.…

    The first era of princesses depicted their ideals of beauty through their physical appearances and attributes such as their hair and lips as well as their dancing and singing abilities. For example, in Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, both female protagonists have the ability to attract animals with their singing. Even as a baby, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty is given the gift of beauty and song from the fairies. Another popular part of the first era is its depictions of its villains. In each of these movies, older age, ugliness, and death become one and the same (Do Rozario). For instance, both Snow White and Aurora are put to sleep by older women who perceive their beauty as a threat. This furthers…

    “I want to be a ballerina princess”. You see, the difference between a regular princess and a ballerina princess is the elegance. Ballerinas held an elegance and ferocity during performances that were sensational. On the other hand, Disney princesses always had their happy endings and by combining both, my goal was set. Soon enough, ballet performances and Disney movies about princesses clouded my practicality with absurd idealism.…

    In Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” we witness that there is not an actual Heaven for the mermaid but a sub-heaven that is a reflection of Heaven. It goes to say that in “The Girl Who Stepped on Bread” also by Andersen, there is a sub-hell (not actual Hell), where she stands in the form of a statue in the entrance hall. Both these place are not where the characters expected to be, yet one scarified herself ending up in a sub-heaven and the other will suffer in the entrance hall of hell for using bread as a way to get over water.…

    In fact, one of Walt Disney’s favourite tales was in fact Cinderella, with he can relate to the character with her hard-working nature in hopes that they are rewarded one day for it. Despite the criticism these characters may get, it is usually due to how they are in fact limited to roles that they are given during those times. Which means that as time moves on, the role of a Disney Princess has changed, along with the role of women in animated works in general with much more variety of roles given to them. The later Princesses are a lot more active and take much bigger chances than earlier Princesses, are actually go out and contribute a lot more to plot other than just being there to be rescued. For example, we gave Merida from Pixar’s Brave (2012). Her story is a focused a lot on her and the relationship she has with her mother, and we see how she grows as a character as well as watching her rebel against the typical treats of a Princess. She can be considered the new image of the Disney Princess, but she isn’t the only one or the first to do so. Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1990) is also a lot more curious about the world around her on land and she goes out and explores, and she even at one point makes effort to help and save the…

    Part of Your World

    In the song Ariel is singing to her friend, Flounder. She is trying to convey to him why she thinks the world on land is better than under the sea. She says “Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far, Legs are required for jumping, dancing,” this shows us some of what she would be able to do if she had legs instead of fins. She desires to be a human, not a mermaid. Another idea is that this song has a deeper meaning other than being a part of this world above the sea. As much as she is trying to convince Flounder of the beauties of the land, the metaphor of the song is showing us that to follow your dreams can be exciting. There are many other things to experience other than what is right in front of us.…
