"Finished The Little Mermaid. Had to tweak the ending for the 4 YOs. As I suspected, they aren't ready for this. If you are a parent to a child under 5, when experts say fairy tales and mythology don't go down well/are not a great idea of little ones, believe them. I introduced them quite late and I still don't think they enjoy it so much." — May 25, 2025 11:21AM
