Disney Movie Analysis #3: The Little Mermaid

 The Little Mermaid. The movie with the famous and singable song "Under the Sea".                                        ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgA2xo0HYrE )
     To me, the Little Mermaid represented always following your dreams despite the obstacles present. For Ariel, she desired to walk on dry land. She even made a deal with Ursula, in order to follow her dreams. Trued dedication is seen, with a slight bit of stupidity. However, she really wanted to see her dream come true. Once walking on dry land, and directly disobeying her father, she meets her true love. This then leads to Ariel starting to feel more comfortable with where she is. One song, expresses Ariel's longing to go up on dry land because she wants to feel a part of that world: 
     With finding her love, she finds that comfortability. She is truly able to fit in, which is part of the message that Disney is trying to convey. That there is a place for everyone in the world, and that it might take time or it might be hard to understand, but as long as you are yourself, then you will fit in.
