Vegamovies Better: The Little Mermaid

In the original story, Ariel's love for Prince Eric leads her to make a deal with the sea witch, Ursula, to trade her beautiful voice for a pair of legs. However, this decision comes with a cost: Ariel's love interest is built on a foundation of exploitation and manipulation. Moreover, the film's depiction of sea creatures as food sources (e.g., Sebastian's calypso band featuring a lobster and a shrimp) reinforces a culture of speciesism.
