Well tell me where I'm wrong. Ariel is a character I would go so far as to say should be despised. I have no reason to root for her. She's as dumb as a mop handle and learns nothing in the end. She deserved to join Ursula's garden.

Really, she jeopardizes her whole family on an incredibly stupid deal to get some dick she never met. If there was a movie where a girl bet her entire family and town's net worth on a single space in a roulette wheel to get some dick, then you'd rightfully hate her. That is what Ariel did.

That's not what her story is about.

Eric represents the other life that Ariel wants. The life that her father refuses to let her pursue. The whole point of little mermaid is to live life outside of your comfort zone and not be scared to take risks. It's supposed to teach you not to take "well that's just the way it is" as an answer.

It's not about getting strange dick.

I have a 4yr who loves the Little Mermaid. To her, Ariel is curious and brave. She doesn't see all these negatives messages us adults stick on these movies.

Plus she is a mermaid. 4 year old girls love that crap.

As for my favorite Disney movie, it is Tarzan, but if I am honest it is only because I really enjoy Genesis/Phil Collins.
