In addition, The Little Mermaid signaled the re-establishment of the musical film format as a standard for Disney animated films. The majority of Disney's most popular animated films from the 1930s on had been musicals, though by the 1970s and 1980s the role of music had been de-emphasized in the films. [20] 1988's Oliver & Company had served as a test of sorts to the success of the musical format before Disney committed to the Broadway-style structure of The Little Mermaid.

[101] Ariel turns to "the only strong female in the entire film and thus Ariel's only female role model," the villain Ursula (who was based on famous drag queen Divine, herself closely associated with gay filmmaker John Waters). Landis invokes Laura Sells and her argument that, "Ariel learns [from Ursula that] gender [is not]...a natural category, but...a performed construct." He adds: Gans, Andrew (November 3, 2017).

The alleged "phallic symbol" in The Little Mermaid's artwork went undetected by the general public for about a year while the film was in the theatrical release. Shortly after Entertainment Weekly ran a story about the offending artwork in mid-1990, the rumor became widespread when Machelle Couch of Mesa, Arizona, complained to Disney and a Phoenix supermarket chain (Bashas') about the phallus on the cover of The Little Mermaid. Bashas' pulled the videos from their shelves (but returned them less than 24 hours later), and the story of the "penis" cover was soon widely disseminated by the media. In 2018, an all-male Princeton a capella choir, the Tigertones, was criticized for using the song " Kiss the Girl", and in particular the way their performance played into the lyrics. The film depicts a mute female character in a romantic setting with a male character, while the lyrics encourage him to kiss her. The Tigertones would bring on stage two unsuspecting members of the audience, one man and one woman, and encouraged them to kiss. Critics have raised issues of informed consent being at stake, as well as toxic masculinity. [102] Comparisons were also drawn to other Disney animated films that provoked similar arguments, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, wherein the prince kisses an unconscious Snow White. [103] [104] Some Princeton students told The New York Times that the lyrics were not troubling, but the Tigertones choosing people at random was. [105]

Rumor has it a disgruntled Disney artist sought revenge on the company by drawing a castle spire in the shape of a male sex organ.

So much so, in fact, that when my toddler asks to watch "the merfmaid" ( Ariel's Undersea Adventure attractionat Disney California Adventureintroduced her to the Disney version of the tale), I turn on the direct-to-video prequel released in 2008: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. Does the movie hold a flame to the first film? It does not. But even though the mom dies in Ariel's Beginning (it's still Disney, after all), it doesn't send the message to my daughter that girls should sacrifice parts of themselves to be with someone, much less someone you just met, where the only connection you share is that you both think the other is attractive.
