Disney Junior's Ariel

My daughter who is on the autism spectrum loves this show so much. It's so rare she'll entertain something new so when she took to this I was excited because that meant we can finally take a break from her other shows. The music/songs the whole family finds themselves singing along. I'm shocked it has lower reviews because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the show. I'm so happy they added more episodes hopefully it sticks around for a while. The characters are adorable we've already bought merch from stores............. Overall it's been great and we finally have a Disney Jr show that grasp her attention.

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!!

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!

As a Caribbean woman, I find this show to be a delightful celebration of culture and creativity. I love how colorful and relaxing it is, and I appreciate how the characters are relatable and diverse. I think it's a lovely addition to the Disney legacy. I watched it with my niece, and she loved it!

It's not fair that adult fans of the original Ariel are giving this show a bad rating just because it doesn't match their expectations. Open your minds, people! There can be 100 different Ariels in this fantasy world, and that's okay. Let's embrace more acceptance, stop being so rigid, be more objective, and refrain from rating shows out of anger and disappointment.

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.
