Answer for question 4374.
May. 20th, 2015 03:56 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]I think "classic" might be relative... as I understand it, The Little Mermaid was kind of my generation's Frozen. So to me it's part of the classics, but probably not to someone who remembers the even older ones. Just a little nitpick.
I'm not a huge Disney person, though I did love The Little Mermaid (again, the Frozen of 1989) and I loved Pocahantas when I was about nine, when all nine year olds loved it. (Please don't judge me. I didn't know how inaccurate and slightly offensive it was.) I don't really have any feelings either way, though I have cooled down on my stance that The Little Mermaid is a horrible misogynist film. (I really don't think it is anymore. Ariel wanted to go to the shore long before Eric was in the picture. He was her anchor, not her compass.)
