Disney Jr.'s Ariel

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.

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!

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 wish I could rate this lower than one star. Disney Jr.'s Ariel is another painful example of how far modern animation companies will go to "modernize" classic characters-at the cost of everything that made them iconic in the first place. Ariel has been completely redesigned, and instead of feeling fresh or exciting, it just comes off as forced and unnecessary.

This show claims to be "fun-filled and action-packed," but in reality, it lacks charm, creativity, and any of the heart that made the original Little Mermaid so magical. It feels more like a checklist of trends than an actual story kids can fall in love with.

I'm tired of studios constantly rebooting beloved characters with new styles and personalities just to appeal to "modern" audiences. What's wrong with letting new generations experience the real Ariel-the one so many of us grew up loving? Not everything needs to be reimagined.

This isn't about race or representation-it's about preserving the legacy of timeless characters. Disney Jr.'s Ariel strips away the essence of the original and replaces it with a version that feels generic, awkward, and far removed from what made the story special in the first place.

Nostalgia aside, even as a standalone show, it's just not good. The writing is bland, the tone is overly sanitized, and the animation style doesn't feel inspired. Disney can do better-and used to.

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.
