The ending (SPOILERS)


Why didn't King Triton just turn Eric into a merman? Or even better, why didn't Ariel ask Ursula initially to turn Eric into a merman?

Being human and living in the human world was a big part of what Ariel wanted. Even before meeting Eric, she was obsessed with the human world.

"If life is getting you down and needs uplifting, then please come dance with me!"

I thought that too way back when I saw this in theater in 1990

IF you know the story the mermaid is the central character and cortusy of her Father who apparently DOES understand his daughter thought hope opinions

reply

Because Eric was just a part of what she wanted, if he was ALL she wanted then yeah I'd agree with you, but the core of what Ariel wanted was to be human...she wanted to be human long before she ever met Eric.

Some people like to say Ariel gave up her life in the sea for a man, but that's wrong...she gave up her life in the sea for herself.

Turning Eric into a merman without even asking him first???

reply

Alright guys, my bad. I clearly didn't think this question through. I get it now, no need to keep rubbing it in.

It isn't a bad question For those who think Ariel gave it all up for a guy why COULD HE NOT become a merman? They would be together

I thought that when I saw film in 1990

BUT as stated it was HER story in Anderson's and in the Disney film she wanted to be human BEFORE ERIC came into her life in Disney's and in Anderson's it was the only way she could possibly win his heart

Plus her father turning her human in Disney's means or meant he does kinda understand and respect her wishes

Take Beauty and Beast WHY DOES the beast have to be human Why not make her a she beast?

After all unlike mermaid and the origial fairy tale THAT WAS (supposed) to be a TWO SIDED story

reply

How can Ariel ask Ursula to turn Eric into a merman when she had died, and plus Ariel did discover her true colors

reply

I meant when she first went to see her. I obviously didn't mean after Ursula died.
