Yes we all seem to be against Meghan here. Although I gather @Tainari88 hates both?
Just a reminder that she clearly did not actually pay any attention during that film, since she failed to understand it's basic moral lesson. It's a Hans Christian Andersen inspired retelling of Goethe's Faust toned down and made understandable for young children. Ariel sold her "voice" to the devil(called Ursa in this retelling) for material gain, and spends the rest of the film learning her mistake, having to do penance and ultimately redeems herself with acts of charity and selflessness. She nearly dies to save her father from a fate worse than death, with the help of the heroic Prince, winning back her soul(metaphorically referred to as her "Voice").
The fact that Megan only saw what she wanted to see is extremely telling. I hate it when people watch movies and only see the "message I want to see" as opposed to what the movie is actually about.
And yes I commented on that vid.
Fact: Lots of Adults watch The Little Mermaid because it's probably the most enjoyable, upbeat and family friendly retelling of the rather dark, mature and non-family frendly Faust ever conceived. You get all the extremely adult and interesting themes of the work in a nice family friendly, modern Disney classic.
I've always been surprised everyone recognises "Hamlet in Africa" but no one ever seems to notice "Faust under the sea".
