The Little Purrmaid
It may seem an unlikely friendship, but the little purrmaid does love her chum.
…you see because “chum” has two meanings… and maybe she is going to eat her friend if the flounder displeases her…
Have you ever had a friend that acted very chummy to you, but you knew that you were the chum? In the movie, I don’t think Ariel was a very good friend to Flounder- all she did was peer pressure him (him? I think Flounder’s a him?) into doing things the fish didn’t want to do, and made fun of him for being scared. If I were a lowly flounder living near natural enemies and also under the rule of a sea monarch who clearly has an anger problem, I might be a bit timid, too.
