Walt was dead when this was made. Though Walt did consider making this film and his original work of it was more in tune to the original tale, but it never saw the light of day when he was alive.
Yes, it was both. Mermaids didn't have souls. They just died. But when she made the selfless act of not killing the prince and his new wife and let the spell kill her, she earned her soul
@sirensloft Totally. I remenber in TLM's extras the directors were talking about the original history, that Ariel had two earnings - the prince and an imortal soul. They changed it to fit into a more Disney-Princess set-up, so she would earn only for the prince. Some people might think this makes the story shallow, but for me... well, I just always tought from the begining it was OMG-SO-UNFAIR! for mermaids to not have souls X)
So beutiful and sad. What a lovely poetic vid. And I'm sorry to hear about your personal heartache. I have been in the same situation, and offer you my condolences.
I know how you feel. Thank you for making this beautiful video. :)
