C is obsessed with The Little Mermaid and watching the movie through adult eyes kills me. Ariel's "I'm 16 and an ADULT" foot stomping behavior is hysterical. I always tell her to just wait until she has kids. We watched it the other day and I said to my H, wait isn't it dark in the ocean and he was like don't go down that path of trying to make sense of it all.
Where are the bonus features? Were they on the recent release? I really want to know how Ursula is King Triton's sister? She's half squid or something.
People people. Ursala USED to be a beautiful mermaid. Then she was bad so King Triton turned her into an ugly sea witch. I feel like I KNOW this and I don't know why...

I always thought octopus, but now that I think about it, she probably is a squid!
Kinky shit going on under the sea.
Oh, nope, you're right. According to Wikipedia, she is a Cecaelia (human/octopus hybrid). Squid seem a bit more nefarious than octopi, but whatever.

Yeah, this sounds correct. I don't think she was always that way. But I don't really know why I "know" this.
I always wonder how the sailors didn't know a hurricane was coming when they were just out for a birthday cruise (and so close to the shore). Those things don't just creep up on you!
Also, when they're in the boat on the lagoon Sebastian says Ariel's name in his accent and Eric pronounces it without. How would you get Ariel from Arielle? They don't even sound the same!
I do love this movie though! When I was younger it was my go to movie when I was sick.

NO.
LET'S TALK ABOUT TANGLED.
1. WHY would Mother Gothel tell Rapunzel her real name and birthday? She has this kid up in the tower at 1 and 2 years old. She must see the lanterns, it happens EVERY YEAR. Why would she tell her that they happen on her birthday, so Rapunzel would think that maybe it was something super special connected to her? 2. WHY WOULDN'T SHE CHANGE HER NAME??? 3. When Eugene takes her to the town and they are having the kingdom-wide 18th birthday celebration IN HONOR OF RAPUNZEL, THE LOST PRINCESS WHO HAD GIANT GREEN EYES AND FLOWING LONG BLONDE HAIR, why doesn't anyone wonder about some 18-year-old chick with GIANT GREEN EYES AND FLOWING LONG BLONDE HAIR WHO NO ONE RECOGNIZES??
Middle of crowded town square. Where she draws tons of attention to herself.
IN FRONT OF THIS.
booooooooooooooooooooolshit that no one picked up on that.

Now I am STOMPING AROUND, all upset, eating Cheerios, and NO ONE'S GOING TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS, ARE YOU?
I feel I have been forced to watch Tangled too much or something.
I've always wondered that too! And a chameleon?! So random. Also! When she gets the tiara and tries it on her arm first. She's supposedly reads all these mother effing books, but doesn't recognize a tiara?! No.

At Army Basic Training, Part of That World was the only song I could remember all the words to. At one point, near the end when we were all crazy, I had all 40 females singing it in our bay. It is a song that knows no bounds.
Tangentially related, but when my uncle was doing naval stints on the nuclear sub for extended periods, he always said the absolute best night of the gig was movie night with The Sound Of Music and they would pass out the song sheets and alllll the big burly sailors would be belting out, 'Doe, a deer...a female deer...." and then quitely, hush singing, 'Edelweiss". Ha.

What gets me the most worked up is when she and Flynn get stuck in the cavern thing and it fills up with water...how does she know how to swim???
