I think I'm gonna be the only one who votes this but I just don't see how she's spoiled or selfish but I'm sure someone will explain it

I don't think she is either

No...I mean, she is a princess. But she would rather not be. She is following her dream. She is a little headstrong, but that's not selfish, that's ambitious.

i doesn't see that Ariel is spoiled at all, but i think she's some how selfish for taking that resk even though she might never see her family again, actually that's one of the reasons why i love her, she has a dream and she's gonna achive it no matter what.

She's definetly not spoiled, she may be a princess but Ariel's not spoiled at all!!
I agree with CuteDiana, it's just the fact that she had fallen in love with Eric, and was just going to leave everything to go to him. The fact that she didn't even tell her family (which we find out in the 3rd movie she was extremely close to) and didn't really think about it, she just did it, and either way (being human/being seaweed) she would never see her family again.
That is selfish, but I still love Ariel <3 She's a dreamer and an achiver.

lol, are you guys serious?

I really think so. But I'm not going to explain, because I can imagine the fight after my comment... So...

Totally

Completely agree with CuteDiana

yes i'm serious, i didn't see an act from her that shows she's spoiled.

lol I know how you feel ppv.

Selfish? Definitely.
Spoiled? Not really. Maybe in comparison to some of the other Princesses but in general no.

Who Ariel? Spoiled and selfish? NEVER!!!!

^^ Lol! Obviously you've never really watched the movie objectively. I agree that Ariel is not as spoiled as other princesses, but nevertheless I think she is spoiled. And I don't think I need to explain why I consider her to be the most selfish of all the princesses.

lol @ ppv. The fact that Ariel is a little bit selfish is one of the reasons I like her...it makes her seem real. We're all a bit selfish in some ways. I think she's selfish because of going to Ursula. She didn't really think about the consequences, and how it would effect her family; she had her mind set on "Eric" mode, and wasn't thinking about anything else...but who can blame her, right?

Actually she did think about the consequences and her family "If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again"

I agree with CuteDiana.

firegirl1515 can you explain why she's spoiled since you picked saying she's spoiled because I don't understand it and maybe I can understand it from a fellow Ariel fan

I disagree KataraLover...the way she said it was from her point of view..."I" will never see my father or sisters again...may just be me, but she sounded more concerned on how much SHE was going to miss THEM, not the other way around.

But I love her anyway. :D

Yeah, I think DreamyGal's right when she said Ariel was thinking she would miss her family. But she just thought about it for a second, until Ursula said that she'd have Eric. Then she was like "OHYAY ERIC :D"

I agree with CuteDiana, SnowSpirit, and DreamyGal. But I love her this way; it makes her realistic. Ariel is #1 for me partly because of her flaws.

^ I agree. That's why I really like her too...because she isn't perfect.

she had her mind set on "Eric" mode, and wasn't thinking about anything else...but who can blame her, right? <-----ohhhhh, i know. *swoons*

:D

Spoiled? Oh yes. The girl goes from one royal palace where she has every luxury she could ever want to another by the end. She's also the youngest sister, which means she gets all the perks of being royalty with none of the drawbacks. With six older sisters, the odds of her ever having to take on any royal responsibilities or entering any sort of political marriage are extremely slim.

As girlygirlspwn says, her father openly favors her of all her sisters, gives her a lot of leeway to do whatever she wants, reprimands her only when she skips out on her one responsibility (showing up to a royal concert) or breaks his one rule (don't got to the surface), and even then both she and he thinks he's being too hard on her. When one thinks that ANY reprimand for skipping out on their one responsibility or breaking their one rule in an otherwise privileged and free lifestyle is too harsh, you know they're spoiled.

Selfish? Have you even seen the movie? At what point does Ariel show that she ever thinks of anyone but herself or what she wants? She constantly does whatever she wants, whenever she wants, without any regard for how her actions affect others, and even blows them off or acts put out whenever they try to tell her how her actions negatively affect them.

Examples? Again, doesn't care that she let down Sebastian, her family, or the kingdom when she skipped the concert. Doesn't care how her family must be worried or heartbroken when she runs away to Eric's kingdom. Doesn't care that Sebastian risks her father's wrath or the chef's knife when he agrees to stay and help her win the prince. (He even says after he nearly DIES in the kitchen "I hope you appreciate everything I do for you!" and she blatantly ignores him. Of course she doesn't appreciate anything he does for her. That requires gratitude or concern for his well-being, which requires her to care about anyone but herself, which Ariel can't be bothered to do. She'd much rather enjoy the comfy bed she gets to sleep in.)

Ariel is as selfish as the ocean is wet.

Well, that's something new to me. She's not spoiled or selfish.

Agree with Presphone713.

I don't think any of princesses are spoiled. But selfish? Yes. Especially like what Give1Take2 said.

Both, demonstrably. But far more selfish than spoiled.

Ariel is selfish, but SO IS Snow, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Moana. ALL of the Disney Princesses ARE SELFISH PEOPLE. I wrote a long series of articles on this.

If you haven't been selfish at one point or another in your life, then you're not human. You're a robot.

Being spoiled is someone who isn't self-aware, and just seems to make more and more demands on others. They feel entitled to have their own way. Ariel never forces her opinions on others--- and therefore never demonstrates "entitlement."
