The value issue of the Disney version of The Little Mermaid rewatched it today, and I remembered the question of whether the values of this film are still suitable to be conveyed to children today. I think the problem of this film is not the promotion of "giving up important things for men (singing" )" because it's also a form of love, it's just a personal choice. And man/love can actually refer to what other people yearn for in life. The character of The Little Mermaid is loved because she has the courage to break the bondage and pursue what she wants. The real problem is that without the abilities of her father and prince, she can't achieve a happy ending by herself. She has no mana to become a human by herself, so she can only turn to someone with higher abilities, Ursula or her father; and she obviously couldn't handle Ursula, and almost killed herself, and almost killed her father and family after her father took her place. , it was the prince who helped her kill Úrsula; it was because her actions moved her father that she truly became a human being, and she helped her change her legs with magic power. To sum up, she was brave because she said "I want", and then she tried herself, but failed, and almost killed a lot of people, but she finally lived a happy life because she had a father and a king and prince. The whole process is someone else paying for her. To put it bluntly, it is still a vase. From the father's Ariel to the prince's fiancee, the difference is that it is a more rebellious vase. According to the routine of modern commercial films, trading with Ursula is a naive initial action. After reining in the precipice, the next step should be to wake up and do something by yourself, such as killing Ursula to save his family, and moving his father to help him change his legs. It became a story that fits well with current values. ps: Because Disney movies are for children, we discuss the issue of values. Personally, I believe that the aesthetics and values of most movies are discussed separately; only the Disney version of the story is told.
