The Algae’s Always Greener

"The Algae’s Always Greener" is a classic cartoon song from Disney's *The Little Mermaid* that humorously explores envy and perspective. It features a character who dreams of living a different aquatic life on a greener, more appealing sea bottom, only to realize that each underwater community has its own challenges. The song uses playful imagery and satire to highlight that happiness and contentment depend on perspective, suggesting that what seems ideal from afar can have its own drawbacks. It’s a clever reminder that no place is perfect, and appreciating one's own circumstances can lead to greater satisfaction.
