10 Disney Movies With Completely F*cked Up Morals

2. The Little Mermaid - Give It All Up For A Handsome Stranger

Young Ariel had it all – beauty, a gorgeous singing voice, a loving and protective family, friends and more thingamabobs and dinglehoppers than you can shake a stick at – but she’s prepared to give all that up in the blink of an eye after catching a glimpse of swoony landlubber Prince Eric.

So she makes a pact with Ursula, the submarine version of Satan, trading her voice for a brand spanking new pair of human legs to entice the really quite stupid Prince Eric who has nothing to offer the love-struck mermaid except a pretty face. As evil villains often tend to do, Ursula dupes Ariel by using her newly acquired angelic voice to steal her man, but it’s Disney so everything predictably works out all right in the end.

Ariel eventually nabs Prince Eric and her dad gives his blessing for his daughter to completely changes species and marry a dude she’s only known for a matter of days.

What’s even worse is that Ariel is only 16 years old. While the most drastic thing any teenaged girl should be doing is going through a future embarrassing goth stage, Disney is saying it’s absolutely fine to throw away everything you know to become child bride to a random guy you barely know. Nice logic, Disney.
