I'm ashamed to say that I haven't seen such a classic movie until now; but as a non-Disney fan, it seems normal.
I have heard many European and American gays say that this is his favorite Disney movie, and Mermeid is his favorite Disney character; I think one or two are coincidences, and when I hear the third one, I feel that there must be some mystery in it.
The structure of the whole story is very simple, and condensed into text is estimated to be the content of two pages; so this movie of more than an hour makes people feel very fast after watching it.
The content of The Little Mermaid, even if I only watched the movie today, I already knew what story it was about; it was only after watching the movie and listening to the song that I really realized that this fairy tale is not just about a journey to find love. It is a story about breaking the surrounding environment, breaking the shackles of origin and nature that cannot be changed, and bravely pursuing freedom.
I guess, from a straight person's point of view: the deep sea is like a cabinet to hide her true self, safe and complete; the little mermaid only needs to hide in it and not surface, and she can always be a willful princess. But she said "I wanna be where the people are", so she came to the surface desperately, looking for love and losing her beautiful voice for love; the ending of The Little Mermaid gave people fantasy and hope, making people believe that one day not only You can "see them dancing" or even dancing with them, dancing with who we love.
In retrospect, the people who said they liked this animation were all people born in the 1980s. Maybe people born later will no longer face such a severe environment: they need to hide their identities to protect themselves. But this is the power of this animation: it not only gives comrades the courage to be themselves, but also gives rationality to those who still talk about the beauty of love in today's materialized world.
Personally, I think this is a must-see Disney animation, no matter what age you are born in; it tells you with the simplest story: the world is not only what you have at the moment; "freedom" is not material satisfaction and physical incarceration , but the new world that you need to explore and sacrifice to get or reach; you may regret what you have consumed after you get it, but you can still grab it with a pure heart when the next opportunity comes again Live it, that's freedom.
