The Little Mermaid

Whoa- this is a throw back.
I last saw it maybe... ooo golly, 15 years ago.
But never notived that there are soo many things wrong with Disney movies (and Fairy Tales for that matter). Where to begin..

As a young girl watching this movie, I now think that-

-Being rebelious (read: a little shit) against my father is the best thing to do.
-Making deals with bad people to get what I want is totally fine.
-Disregarding my family to get what I want is even better.
-That men are simple minded creatures and if I sing to them, they will love me forever.
-In the end, everything I do is justified and it'll work out in the end.

All the above will make me live happily ever after with a man I have known for 3 days- and technically never had a conversation with.

Wow. All the great morals I have learnt today....

Other things Disney has taugh me ...

-All Princes are attainable and vain. To be in complete control of them, you need to look really pretty, smile a whole bunch and never talk to them. (dancing and singing skills required)
-No matter how lovely you are, there are always people trying to kill you.
-Shoes are tailor made. No one else will ever fit your shoes but you.
-Don't take drugs: Get high on life and sing yourself happy.
-Weddings can be pulled off flawlessly with a days notice.
-Kissing is totally allowed- as long as there is a big crowd to cheer you on.
-As long as you are pretty, good things will happen to you.
-Singing makes everything better.

Thanks Disney.
