“I’m really excited about my version of the movie because we definitely changed the perspective of her desire to leave the ocean for a boy”He says. “It’s much bigger than that. She is about herself, her purpose, her freedom, her life and what she wants. As women we are amazing, we are independent, we are modern, we are everything and more. AND I’m glad Disney is modernizing some of these themes
