Disney Junior's Ariel

At first glance, Disney Junior's Ariel might seem a little far and unrelated from the classic Little Mermaid franchise. However, if you set aside expectations, you'll discover a delightful and heartwarming show. Each episode offers simple yet engaging stories, making it a joy to watch.

The show excels in showcasing and celebrating Caribbean culture. One of the highlights is its vibrant musical numbers, predominantly featuring Moombahton, with touches of Reggae and Bossa Nova. These genres enrich the narrative, adding a unique and enjoyable element to each episode.

Overall, Disney Junior's Ariel does a fantastic job of highlighting the beauty and diversity of Caribbean culture, making it a must-watch for both kids and adults.

I'm not one to watch animated stuff, but upon watching the first episode of Ariel, I was hooked. Ariel and her best friend, Lucia, are so charming and feisty.. Love this series. Once O watched the first episode, I watched two more right away. The charm of the series gives me such a warm feeling, unlike some animated stuff, that feels a bit cold...not humane.

Ariel is the best.

I think that the charm could translate into a live action film or series. That's how much I've connected with these characters and the ambience. Even the "scene sets" are so much more alive...real...than many other animated films.

Love "Ariel" so much. I'll be watching the new episodes this week!

We saw the ads for a new Ariel show from Disney but were even more excited it was going to be a spin off for Disney Junior!! They started off the show with a preview season that was only 5 minutes per episode which was a great way to get my 3 year old hooked for the full season.

The full season is quite fun to watch for all the children and adults in the room. The show follows Ariel as she goes on adventures with her friends throughout her kingdom. It is also educational since one of Ariel's friends is into different types of fish. As the adults, we have even learned about different fish.

What I really love is the attention to detail, Ariel's red hair has texture and it is a show focused on mermaids who would technically be in the Carribbean or West Africa. Ariel's friends are diverse which is great to see in 2024.

Ursula is a loving aunt and King Triton's character is just a fun loving dad. I really like how they refreshed the characterization of the cast for Disney Junior.

What a great new version of the Little Mermaid. My kids are really connecting with the stories and taking great lessons with them. The animation is amazing and it sounds even better than the movies! Ariel is cute and funny and the other supporting characters really bring it all together. Glad Disney was able to pull it off so well!

Not gonna reveal any spoilers but some characters may surprise you in this new take. It's not connected to the old Little Mwrmaid movie or the new live action film they made recently. Ariel still gets curious about things and through each episode, goes on her own adventures while learning new and valuable lessons.

Ignore the low ratings. It's only because bigots hate change and anything that is not white. Such a great show with a new spin on an old classic. The visuals are vibrant, the songs are adorable, and the characters are better than ever. Anyone who is this triggered by a child's cartoon should evaluate their priorities in life, because trashing this show all because its main character has different melanin is deeply disturbing and full of hate. I love that Ursula is no longer a bad guy and that all the sisters have a wide ethnic background that is inclusive of all types of people in our world. If you're not a bigot and full of hate then you'll love this show!!
