Disney kinda irratates me... Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid is a heart-breaking story of personal sacrifice for love. Disney screwed it up so that it would have a "happy ending," which ruins the original intent of the story.

On the other fin...

Of all the films that Disney has made, "Little Mermaid" is still my favorite. It seems like an allegory for "acension" in general; you have to be very brave and possibly give up who you are (in Ariel, her voice represents how her world defines her) in order to ascend to a new level.

I have a love-hate relationship with Disney.
