    The big mermaid? Okay. Go further Disney, how about the crippled mermaid? Or maybe the down’s syndrome mermaid? I can think of a bunch of ways to make unpopular stories! Let’s play limbo with the bottom line!

    Why can’t people give their opinion about something without being “shamed” for it when what they are saying is obviously the truth?

    Another Disney mistake Walt would never have made! Over half of the population of the U.S. is fat and over weight! Look it up? Should we celebrate that by using a fat mermaid to represent a thin animated mermaid? I say no! Get a grip America fat is not in it’s unhealthy!

    Disney has to be run by the most unintelligent people on the planet. What the heck, what has happened? It’s in my Disney World that I used to go to as a child. And as an adult with my two children. I Remember when people would say I can’t wait to go to Disney World. And now you say disney world and people oh cringe, that’s not right, man.

    Maybe they didn’t want Ursula to feel negatively about her own size so they made Ariel closer to it? Idiots!
