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.

Why is this Ariel's hair vibrant red while the live action version was stuck with that washed out ginger? Why are all her family members black and not split between all races anymore? Why does flounder actually look like himself? Why does Sebastian suddenly sound Jamaican again? Why do we get to see the city of Atlantica here, with the merfolk involved?

Why is a TV show made for preschoolers made with more love and effort than a multi million dollar live action adaptation? These shows take years to make, so that means this version existed to base everything off of. Instead, we got thrown to the wolves with the least effort put in any Disney live action made yet.

I'm glad young children will have this version to grow up with but it's extremely disappointing to see what that live action could (and should) have been. It's visually beautiful, has lessons and songs in every episode and it's bright and colorful enough to keep any child enthralled!

Amazing music! The best Disney junior music in my opinion! Love it!! My daughter and I love the fun, bright colors, good message, and wonderful music to dance to! Hope they keep this one for a while. Nothing to complain about here - 5 stars for Ariel. The little girl also has an amazing voice.

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!

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.
