#the movie can be perceived as an analogy for racism/xenophobia too in many respects

One of the best analyses of this movie, and specially Ariel as a character and what she represents, I've listened to so far.
#ariel#disney#the little mermaid#meta#disney meta#youtube#character analysis#disney princess defense squad#it's so ironic that so many people misunderstand this movie and her story just like triton sebastian and most of the other characters did#although i would add that eric both mirrored her and was seen as a representation of everything ariel adored about the human world#he was an ideal of humanity as well as someone who could understand her#he didn't have to be the male version of ariel in order for that point to get across#aside from that little point everything else she said was on point#the movie can be perceived as an analogy for racism/xenophobia too in many respects#but i definitely see the lgbt reading in the story which is why this movie has been quite an icon in that community#both far leftists and far rightists do not understand this movie which is why they criticize it so much#only balanced people actually understand it well#ultimately it's a movie about understanding getting past prejudices and letting people be who they are#interestingly enough the people who don't understand this movie are exactly just like the characters in the beginning#this movie is far deeper and more nuanced than it gets credit for#Youtube
