Reviews For The Easily Distracted: The Little Mermaid

Young mermaid Ariel just wants to be where the people are. Specifically, one person: Prince Eric , who Ariel rescues from a shipwreck. Her dad, King Triton , is none too pleased to hear it, and forbids her from further"above world" activities. Devastated, Ariel is duped by Triton's sister Ursula into giving up her voice for a chance at spending the rest of her life with a dude she's never actually met.

Or that the original fairy tale ends with the Little Mermaid basically sentenced to indentured servitude for 300 years. But"The Scuttlebutt," featuring the rap talents of Scuttle the northern gannet and Sebastian the crab , is Not Good. We lost"Le Poisson" for this? Fortunately, Bailey is quite winning as Ariel, and Hauer-King's Eric is pretty progressive for whatever year this is supposed to be. And in the spirit of the best MCU villains, King Triton has a point. The story's been updated to show the damage done by man to the ocean. On the other side, Eric wants to reach out to other cultures to improve his own eventual kingdom's well-being. Is that a malaria reference in a Disney movie? You bet your ass.
