While young children enjoy the courage of the little mermaid to give up her voice‚ her comfort and her family to marry the prince‚ they also accepted the idea that love is above everything. This was certainly a bad influence on girls because this was not how real society worked. Parents did not realize‚ the seed of conflict were embedded in their childrens mind just for watching a
