Nah, Disney’s version is set in the Caribbean. Isn’t it? I remember a racist Jamaican stereotype crab.

For 30 years Ariel has been marketed with a set look, deviating from that will upset sections of the fan base for non-race reasons. Remember when Dante got a haircut in DMC?

The question is how the story fits in a pro-feminist landscape.
In the original Disney version she gives up her family, friends and literal voice to be with a man because he is handsome.
I believe the original folk tale is even worse? She dies?

I have those. Didn’t finish the full set though, but got most of them. My mate I think got the full set. Used to do swapsies with him. Good times.
