Fox (@munchlaxregrets) is a Disney fan. Talen (@Talen_Lee) is a media studies nerd. Let's watch some cartoons!
In 1989, Disney released an animated movie based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, a movie that has since been the bedrock of a host of thinkpieces about how it actually sucks and Ariel is a bad character. But does that hold water? What is actually here in this movie lots of people have preconceived notions about since they watched it when they were kids and now they have youtube channels that complain about things for money?
