I get that there are some things that make sense to change in an adaptation, and I get that delving into interspecies theology bickering is probably not a great hook for a Disney movie.

But it is pretty funny that instead of the sisters and the grandmothers, the message of "Under the Sea" is "living in the ocean is better than on land because...you know what, forget mermaid problems, we are sentient fish and we like it here because the humans don't try to eat us." (And then later in the movie, the humans do try to eat the crab, because everybody knows crabs can't talk.)

Like, I don't really think they're addressing Ariel's concerns, there.
