Ariel wanted to be a human long before she met Eric.  I swear people just completely forget the actual narrative of the film and get swept up in these social media think pieces.

She had an obsession with the outside world and she wanted to get out (basically any teenager) but she gave up everything FOR ERIC. 

 

I mean Ursula wanted her voice for a reason

Yeah, basically every Disney princess gives up their life (in some capacity) for the prince. That's not exclusive to Ariel. She still wanted to escape the ocean and become a human before Eric. Eric ended up being the tool for her to get the life she wanted in the first place.

Um I am going to need some receipts for her wanting to be a human before Eric. She wanted to be "part of the other world" sure, but that little hoe showed up at Ursula's doorstep when she needed a pair of legs to hold up in the air.

 

And not every Princess gave up on their life like... at all. You can't catch queen JASMINE doing that. Ugh my f*cking fave.

She literally spent years collecting human trash and filled her underwater cave with it. What do you mean you need receipts?  She was obsessed with the world up there and wanted to join it. Also, Flotsam and Jetsam trick her to go and find Ursula. Honestly, you need to recheck the storyline of TLM because you are completely off.

 

Jasmine is my fave Disney princess too, but this narrative people have about Ariel is entirely formed from these weird think pieces which have utterly trashed the reality of her character.

Social media reactions this early can't really be trusted but based on what people are saying I think it'll be competent. "Best Disney live action" is a low bar to clear tbqh.

Yeah and Snow White broke into a house that didnt belong to her, Alice followed a Rabbit and didnt even thought "omg a rabbit hey Tove Lo you got drugs?", Cinderella agreed to be a slave to her family, Belle fell in love with a Beast.... 

 

This is so sad looking at all thoses stories with adult glasses   Even children knows they don't represent the reality... 

 

Sick of this victim blaming (not just by you but generic comments online)  You can tell who never grew up in an abusive household

When you're literally brought up to be submissive and quiet or else you'll get physically abused or at least verbally abused (3 outnumbering 1), you can never tell what behavior is "normal" anymore especially as someone like Cinderella who was never even allowed to go out. Not to mention that house was literally her parents' house and the only connection she has left with them aside from her mother's dress. (also a homeless young woman in the 19th century was more or less a dead person like where tf would she even go lmao)

 

And in Belle's defense, she knew the Beast was human before and there was hope that he'll change back 

The rest you can drag although the WORST princess imo is the condescending, impulsive and insensitive Anna who was even worse and "boy crazy" than Ariel

a lot of praise for Melissa McCarthy. Another L for Miss Randolph

Alice was in a dream after all and dreaming about chasing a talking rabbit is not really "odd" in that particular context. 

Also Snow White was  running in panic. Seeking help in a random village house she came across seems pretty reasonable even for a normal adult story. Sleeping in there without permission is another thing but still does not compare to Ariel's story.

 

I think Frozen is the worst Disney's Princess movie and yet the most successful.

The box office forums I follow, there are people who do theatre presales tracking as a full-time hobby. Usually the industry even gets their forecasts based on the data given to them by these internet guys. Anyways they have been showing their data for TLM and it's all great signs. Presales point to at least $8-10M previews, with $12-14M possible. They all seem in consensus that the 3-day debut should hit at least $85M but odds are that it goes much higher, like $110M 3-day. Would bring it to a $130-135M+ 4-day debut. 

 

The fact that presales are quite strong for such a film even this far out (and consistent too! Literally in the Sacramento/Orlando/Philly markets the daily ticket sales have not dropped since the day they released) suggests that there is lots of growth to be had. 

 

Excited to track this box office run.
