Daughter of the Sea x The Little Mermaid

While many people were moved by Hai's daughter giving up her 300-year life for love, I always remember her original intention.

What she wanted was an immortal soul. So when I watched it as a child, I didn't think it was a tragedy at the end, she got what she wanted. What she wants is not love, but an immortal soul.

Therefore, the prince and the princess together may be the best ending, after all, the princess really looks kind.

But Disney fulfilled Ariel's love and erased the part of her quest for an immortal soul. Thus filling people's regrets, but lost some of the flavor.

The Little Mermaid quotes

  • Ursula: [singing] If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet / You've got to pay the toll / Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll! / Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys / The boss is on a roll / This poor unfortunate soul!

  • Sebastian: Ariel, where are you going?

    [He swims up to her and observes that she is swimming with Flotsam and Jetsam]

    Sebastian: Ariel, what are you doing here with this riffraff?

    Ariel: I'm going to see Ursula.

    Sebastian: [gets a shocked look on his face and gasps] Ariel, no! No!

    [He begins tugging on her tail fin, trying to pull her back]

    Sebastian: She's a demon! She's a monster!

    Ariel: Why don't you go tell my father? You're good at that!

    [She shakes him off]
