Ariels mom was smashed by fisherman boats
Forget Bambi – Ariels mom is the most WTF Disney death.
When I said that, it was thought to be a joke. I wish it were… check it: Tri & his redhaired bride are chillin above surface making music and having fun with other merfolk when pirates come along to kill them. they all dive except ariels mom goes back for that clam thing which is a music box and gets killt, causing a forever ban on surfacing. its lame as hell, executed poorly and they didn’t even try to make “mom” any different than Ariel other than increasing her seashell cup size a few.
The poor character design in Ariels mom is pretty obnoxious. also makes you wonder why the other daughters look totally different. the awkward unsaid answer: different moms… and i guess ariels was the only one he cared about. Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, and Allana? aint nuthin but trick ass ho’s.
The death scene is pretty messed up too. imagine this in slow motion with menacing music and you have all you need to know…
