Little Mermaid was a fun adventure to take "Under the Sea"! So-o many cute ideas came to mind, and how I could tie them into lessons...(mainly just ideas).
One idea I can still remember (5 min. after watching..) When Aerial and Flounder take their adventure to the sunken ship and discover, oh so many treasures...they then go to the Seagull and he tells them very confidently what each thing is. For instance: fork=hair brush & pipe=instrument
*My idea, how can we look at different things (toys, random objects especially) and use our imagination to create what we want them to be! (Children already do this, so a lesson wouldn't be necessary unless they were struggling to come up with ideas)
Oh well, so much for using movies to teach...may not be the best way anyways!
So basically this amazingly sound tracked movie consisted of a family (Aerial, her father and all of her sisters, who's name I tried to remember...no luck) that slowly watched their daughter/sister fall in love with a...how dare her HUMAN! She went above and beyond and even saved his life which was not only a big no-no but also the first time he laid eyes on her, which meant love @ first site.
Of course there had to be an evil villain "Ursula" who crafted this plan to take away Aerial's most prized possession, her voice, in order for her to get to see Eric (the human). As all happy endings would have it, they wrestled for power and love conquered all (hey that sounds familiar huh?!)!
Aerial and Eric were wed and the movie leaves the audience, of course, with their "Happily Ever After!"
(field trip @ the elementary school tomorrow, yay!)
