My Original Thoughts
I absolutely loved Ariel. I can't really go in depth about it, because when I first saw it, I was really little. (Prolly about 5 или 6) But my feelings were pretty straightforward: she was a MERMAID & was pretty & a unique princess. I mean, I kinda wanted to be her. Who wouldn't want to live under the sea? I never really understood why she wanted be a human, though, because a mermaid was freaking amazing in my mind! Something I do remember is, my mom and my little and older sisters had a Дисней songs CD. We would replay "Part of Your World" just because it was "our" song. :)
My Thoughts Now
I still Любовь Ariel! We have had our ups and downs; at one point, I hated, или еще so, disliked her. I've come to my senses and realized how adorable she is. Her rebellious spirit that she has I admire. Mostly because I can't take risks for diddly squat.. She is such a bubbly character & can think on her feet. в общем и целом, общая though, I can't avoid her quite unintelligent decision to visit Ursula, who she knew was the sea witch. /: And then, her head-over-heels nature with Eric is over excessive for me. Obviously, that's an important component to the story, but it's just a trait I'm not particularly fond of.
Beauty
It's actually quite difficult for me to even distinguish my feelings about her looks. No doubt, Ariel can have some stunning shots, but then again I never really saw her as exceptionally beautiful. I think she's pretty, but borderline cute. First of all, she does have a beautiful eye color, but then they decided to put three eyelashes on each eye. A lot of people complain about her body looking "anorexic" (& I absolutely despise that term, but I don't have time to explain why. Maybe some other time) In all honesty, I think Ariel's body looks just fine. I do have a problem with her hair. Though it has a lot of volume and I Любовь the way it looks underwater, the color is terrible. I know they couldn't have done blonde because it would make the underwater scenes give off some odd coloring, but what was the point in giving Ariel a brash, quite off-putting color?
Wardrobe
What to say.. What to say.. I do like the sparkly dress at the end, and the blue outfit she wears to town is cute, but besides that, nothing particularly sticks out in a positive или even a neutral light. Negatively though, I don't like her humongous sleeves on Ariel's wedding free nor do I like the dullish розовый color of the dress she wears to dinner.
Voices
Speaking
Honestly, there isn't much to go off. Yes, we have some time in the beginning when she speaks but it doesn't give me an impression of any kind.
Speaking
Eh.. I think Jodi can sing, but idk. I'm just not feeling Ariel's Пение voice. At times, it's nasally. Other times, I really Любовь the way it sounds. Overall, I'm very indecisive about Ariel.
