The Little Mermaid Disney Movie that is 5 stars Worthy

The Little Mermaid is another popular Walt Disney children's classic. It got a terrible second part and it even made it to Kingdom Hearts. As usual,  I am going to pretend the second part never happened. This is yet another movie that is based on the Brother's Grimm. I only know two versions. In the first, the little Mermaid turns to foam. In another version, she simply saves the prince from Drowning. The story ends there. Disney combined both stories and gave it a happy ending.

Like we all know, the little Mermaid is about Ariel. She dreams of seeing the world outside the ocean. Her only contact with the outside world are things she finds in shipwrecks. In the first scene, she almost gets eaten by a shark. She still was able to get the fork she wanted. She thought it was a hairbrush. I thought it was really cute of her. She is so sweet, so innocent.

I liked a lot all the things she had in her grotto. The silly names she gave them were priceless. Plus, the song about them were also peachy. Among her things, I liked a painting that she had of Mary Magdalene. You know, the one were Mary Magdalene is looking at the candle and she has a skull on her lap. Interesting enough, Ariel represents that lady. Like the biblical chick, Ariel fell in love with someone who was not of her world. She had to go to great lengths to see the prince.

The spell to take her voice was pretty interesting. Its a bummer why the witch wanted her voice. Then again, that was her most appealing quality. The prince did not get a good look at her. He fell in love with her voice. Like well all know, mermaids have a great singing voice. Triton liked a lot his daughter's singing.

Another interesting detail, was the mean way that the Witch told Ariel not to make a big deal of loosing her voice. She said that men liked better chicks that looked pretty and stayed quiet. That is kinda true... Then again, such cold showers of truth are part of Disney's bad guy repertoire. It was a pretty neat trick of the Queen getting out of the water to steal the prince. She was like a dark version of Ariel. This alludes to the first version of the little Mermaid. In this Disney movie, Walt Disney demonized the other woman.

It makes sense if you think about it. After all, Ariel gave up a lot to meet her prince. In all versions, the little mermaid did lose her voice to meet the Prince. Oh! Now I get it! The little mermaid loosing her voice represents how Mary Magdalene lost her voice. Her Books were even thrown out of the Bible. The evil witch taking her place, represents the imposter of Mary Magdalene. You know the one who is considered to be a streetwalker. Its a real bummer. Kinda of an obscure reference, if you ask me. I guess Walt Disney had a taste for the Gnostic texts. In any case, The Little Mermaid of Walt Disney deserves 5 stars rating.
