What's wrong with Ariel's eyes there?

And why is Sebastian almost as big as King Triton?

And WHY?? That's pretty much all that can be said.

Well, about 99.9% of the people who buy that ARE going to be little girls, Once.

Meg,who can you say such a thing? I know you hate the Princesses but that doesn't only little girls buy it.
Ariel and all of the Princesses are for EVERYBODY and EVERYBODY will see it,don't forget ARIEL FANS.

The Princesses may be for everybody, but not all of us are fans of the sequels and prequels.

I love Ariel! She's my favorite Disney heroine. And I love The Little Mermaid. It's one of my favorite films ever. But I didn't care much for TLM2 and I have absolutely no interest in seeing Ariel's Beginning.

The fact is that this film (like many other cheapquels) is made for and marketed towards little girls.

Nothing wrong with that. Boys have GI Joe and Transformers, girls have Barbie and the Princesses (and some kids mix and match, which is okay too).

Um, I actually don't hate Disney princesses - my point was that the biggest consumer of these products and films are going to be small girls. Yes, not everyone purchasing this DVD will be a little kid, but Disney is not going to market this stuff to adult males...in situations like this us animation nerds tend to be in minority. :)

Hmm,I see your point,maybe Ariel's Beginning is more for the Ariel's fans and also the small kids but still.

Oh,you seems dislike them,or you just hate how Disney market them? (I guess you like Alice now XD well,she's the only Disney female hero who isn't a Disney Princess).
But still,little girls will buy it too like everyone but they shouldn't treat anyone who isn't a little girl like that.
