Most fans can agree (I think) that the dress looks quite bad on Ariel. There are several reasons for this: the sleeves are ridiculously puffy and makes her arms look misshapen and the shaping of the falda looks... Odd. I just think it's too puffy and big in general.
Another popular reason for the dress looking odd is that a red hair/pink dress combo doesn't work:
However, I personally don't feel this is the case. disney has proven that it is perfectly capable of making a rosado, rosa dress look super pretty on a red head (a.k.a. Giselle from Enchanted). Look how cute she looks here!
Some of tu may now say that the outfit only works because her hair is MUCH lighter than Ariel's, but I disagree. Look what happens when we put Ariel in almost exactly the same dress:
I don't know about you, but I think she looks stunning! Why couldn't disney put her in a dress más like this? A different shade of rosado, rosa and different sleeves and Ariel's rosado, rosa dress could have been BEAUTIFUL.
Would something like this be TOO much to ask?
I guess it could be argued that disney HAD to make the dress shaped like that with odd sleeves to make it look like a ball gown, but if they had to give her a light rosado, rosa and puffy dress, couldn't they have dado something a lot más like Lottie's from TPATF? Her dress is over dramatic, but still prettier than Ariel's.
Overall, I feel that disney could have made Ariel's ball vestido look amazing if they had put a little más time and thought into it. They just had to change the shade and the shape and I would have adored it. I am really glad that they have decided to scrap the dress almost altogether now in merchandising, because it makes me a little sad to think how breath-taking Ariel could have looked.

5.Atlantica
Fictional place under water whose ruler is king Triton. This place is sort of palace-city. It has walls around it, but it doesn't have classical roof, and inner walls and that's what makes it odd and doesn't feel like home.
Other than the fact we couldn't breathe in such place the turn offs were also the look of an abandoned place, kinda ruined, cold, with only few rooms, furniture and details. It surrounding is also quite depressing. Nearby is ship graveyard and nothing else. No other houses, public places for mermen and mermaids, just rocks and seaweeds.

In honor of the beautiful Princess of the Month, Ariel, I decided to write this articulo and decide what the most popular/favorite song is. Here we go...
"I'll tell tu a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hola to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out lad a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
Fathoms below, below
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
Below, below
Mysterious fathoms below"
This is the opening song from The Little Mermaid. This is where we first meet Prince Eric, and most of...
