The movie itself is great. The story flows whether you agree on the moral of it; the animation is realistic especially scenes in the water with the effects of wave; 'Part of Your World' and 'Under the Sea' signals the advent of 'Disney songs'. However, the story is not relatable anymore. Like Sebastian said, the seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake. Ariel is a 'hopeless child' who throws away her talent, her family, and her life for the boy she has met for seconds. She is impetuous and selfish, putting others in danger with her with stupid contract. As the movie heads toward the ending, it loses focus; the storyline becomes childish and excessive. 'Little Mermaid' tried its best at that time, but it does not impact today's audience that much.
