Yeah, have to agree there. That being said, based on the summary, it's pretty clear from Pearl having to trick them to going to Eel-ectric City that they probably wouldn't have agreed to go there if they had known upfront that's what they were going to do.

Besides, at least The Little Mermaid DOES teach us to respect fathers and treat them as beings to respect and fear, which is more than can be said with other Disney elements during the Renaissance onwards (namely, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin treating the Princess's fathers as helpless goofballs, or how The Proud Family and Lizzie McGuire depicts dads as being total idiots. I think Triton, Mufasa, and Dr. Possible are the only fathers in Disney mediums starting with the Renaissance that I can think of that actually ARE treated in a very respectable manner).
