What was the toei version called?

  • Was this ever on america tv? i seen alot disney`s the little mermaid wannabes out there,but i dont watch them just see it on store shelves is this one of them?

  • I loved this as a kid... always thought the intro song was so beautiful...

  • CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEESY

  • How can this be the first episode, with 5 minutes of "recently, on The Little Mermaid""?

  • It's so funny, I'd been looking for this show forever. I had posted on a Disney's the little mermaid upload asking if anyone remembered this show. I knew I wasn't crazy, I remembered there being a Little Mermaid animated show that was not Disney's starring Ariel. But for the life of me, every time I searched for the Little Mermaid, this never came up. I was missing the title Saban's in there. Thanks so much for the upload, now I can reminisce!

  • Toei, huh.

    That seahorse. Is a DIGIMON.

  • FINALYYY

  • OMG, the guy who plays Justin is Thor Bishopric!! In case you don't know, he played Fritz in the 1975 Toei Anime version of The Little Mermaid!

  • And Jane Woods, who played the Queen Grandmother in the 1975 Toei version is the Narrator here.

  • 6:00 fills her with delight huh?

    well contain yourself woman! no need to get so enthusiastic!

    man she could teach Spock lessons!

    let me be kind here: this isn't that great.

  • @henkman00

    You should see her during her time of the month.

    ...... :|

    She's FURIOUS!!!!!! *lol*

  • @Bobzeaux

    oh man this great, ''fills her with delight'' and she has this depressed look on her face. LOL awsome!

    that time of the month huh? yeah she likley stands around in a fixed pose and blinks her eyes four times! FOUR! its crazy :D

  • I used to love this when I was Little and I still do! I have the dvd! Whats the theme song called? 'Share a little laughter down here with me! Share all the wonders of the magical sea!' <3

  • The show had a variety of end themes, although some stations would replace them with one generic theme.

  • thank you for posting this! I just one of this movie collection! IM just SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!

  • i had this on vhs as a kid im sure it came with another show as well does anyone know the name of it :l it was about a blonde girl and she saves some people from a fire thats all i remember

  • @spie4eva94 sadly I don't now if anyone can still remember, even if they did, they might have a different show once the episode ended. Either your talking about Princess gwenevere and the jewel riders, or Maybe perhaps Princess tenko and the Gaurdians of magic....

  • @0asis Hmm i looked them up sadly they were not that :l thankyou anyway ^^

  • childhood memories...

    

  • the LONGEST intro I've ever seen.

    But this show looks cool.

    And the music was reused in digimon season 1. Also interesting.

  • I remember I used annoy my parents to death with the vhs of this! I would always beg to watch 'the mermaid movie' and they'd put in The Little Mermaid to shut me up, then I'd throw a hissy fit and say 'no, the pretty one!' xD

  • WTF!!!!! how come in the movie Marina DIED? i ANGRY!!! Why didn't i watch this first, but it is too late. What BS!! Sorry, just expressing my stress. Although it as pretty entertaining...^_^

    Thanks 4 the upload

  • @animegirlsana1

    its okay, the original does lead to alot of heartbroken memories. its nice to see this version to be aired online. that people can see theres a big big difference. its just sad that the series ended with a big cliff hanger.It's wierd because Marina has been captured in so many different ways that it kinda puts you in a position to "wonder and think!".

  • is this the chick off the tunna can?

  • @Joslyn3 LOL

  • memories..thanks for sharing

  • i like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • *hedwig* the sea-with?! well, there goes the Potter-owl...

  • When I was a kid I found this quite more enjoyable than Disney's version.

  • holly shit i fucking finally found it aww childhood hello!!

  • this is so cool.

  • Does anyone know where to find the Japanese version of this? I always enjoy hearing the difference between the English and Japanese versions.

  • @isearchforfullmoons Finding the japanse is very rare!...

    Along with spanish. I know most videos from the black market does have a spanish version in bootleg but I am dong searching alot of videos!....3 years is a big time search >_<!. I am very sure someone in the gaia comunity mentions the same question but I love it how they used me for a reference... Sorry but finding those videos is hard to find!. Even if the video exists, its even harder for me to buy a different vhs format tape!

  • @0asis Oh no problem! I was posing the question to everyone, not just you. ^_^ Although I admit I am very happy to hear you're still searching too. Thank you for answering!

  • @0asis is it called The little mermaid (anime-greek dub) its on youtude

  • @isearchforfullmoons, I Feel A Nastalgia going on. this movie ROCKS!!!!!!.

  • So the sea witch's name is Hedwig, as in Harry Potter's owl Hedwig?? Hey maybe that's where J.K. Rowling got the idea lol And her chin, I think of Arnold's grandpa when I look at it.

  • The narrator is Jane Woods, who did a number of voices in the English version of Toei's Little Mermaid film. Supposly both English dubs share a number of voice talents.

  • @Yogiri Yes,and for example,Thor Bishophric, who voiced Prince Justin inthe series, voiced Fritz, the dolphin in the Toei film (!!!).

  • Hey oasis could you please tell me where I can download these cartoons? They were my absolute favorite growing up so it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • @gddy5001 if you chck episode 26 it has the link!

  • @0asis Thank you, Thank you, Thank you SO MUCH! I adored this cartoon series growing up and I just wish there were more than the 26 episodes made, but at the same time I am very grateful that they at least made them. I wish there were more 'seeders' for the cartoon (I am just learning all about that), but I could care less because I am just very grateful to have the ability to download them at all.

  • @0asis Thank you again Oasis and if you could provide links to my other favorite cartoons of all time like grimms fairy tale classics (it aired on Nick Jr. & with all the episodes), the Fraggle Rock cartoon series, & the Beauty & the Beast series then it also would be tremendously appreciated! Thank you for giving me such a Happy New Year! =)

  • @gddy5001 sorry I dont do a request like this!... please have some consideration that this is'nt a request and Find method!.. Im only allowed to find one series.. if you want the rest.. be my guest to find the rest!

  • ohhhh its mean so long since i have seen this , and it brings back so many great memories ! :) thanks for uploading it :)

  • I remember having this...

  • These started to show this on Tv here in Finland. I last saw this when I was in kinderkarden.

  • h2o just add water is the evoluated catroons of these :))

  • I remember this TV-series, I had it on VCR/VHS when I was a little boy... But I like Disney's The Little Mermaid more.

  • Comment removed

  • OMFG SIDFHSDY FA F

    I FREAKIGN LOVE THIS SERIES AND IM 19!

    I miss marina so much :(

    They look so lovely together <3

    I used to watch dubbed in malay, it was pretty good too :3

    omg so 15 year ago

  • oh how much i missed this after my vhs-recorder break down :D

  • @essiehcS

    don't worry, they are available for download!

  • @0asis Where can we download them? :D

  • @elliegouldingislove best to send me a private message ^_&!

  • thank you so much for uploading all of these!:D

  • I think this version is way better than Disney's version. The characters just seem more likeable. Then again, I'm not really all that big of a fan of Disney so maybe I'm biased. I do like some Disney stuff though, like Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, and Duck Tales.

  • I just noticed, at 5:20 the sea witch does Hadouken. LOL

  • I remember when I used to watch this...over and over and over until the VHS tape "broke" (most likely from overplaying or tangling, but if my mom had a hand in that, I really can't blame her).

    There's an anime adaption of The Little Mermaid that was extremely depressing, and I believe the girl was also named Marina (and blond). I confused this show with that anime. Imagine my expression when *spoilers* in the anime movie, Marina dies. I was SO CONFUSED. I actually started crying. -^_^-;;;

  • @EnkaiNami oh yeah I saw that depressing version of Marina and I don't like it. I like this way better than that. This Saban's version is amazing!

  • 0:43 Mijumaru :O

  • I LOOOOOVED this as a child, been looking from time to time for a few years, couldn't remember name, finally I found it by persistant Google Image Search :P

  • Gandor...is that country somewhere near the Legend of Zelda world?

  • LMFAO! I remember watching this when I was young! xD

    Ah, the good cartoons from the old time. Now, most cartoons are gibberish and are just shown for money. :/

  • oh! I have this one on VHS ;D

  • I usede to have this on video when i was, like, five. Then it got lost in my grandparents house and i never found it. I've been looking for it for a very long time. Thanks for uploading.

    As far as i can tell, there were at least three Little Mermaid cartoons. The one by Disnie, Seban's, and

  • @NitroNorm5688 i think yuor minus the third one....

    so I assume mermaid melody: pichi pichi pitch!...

    too bad that series never made it to america v_v...

    im glad im done finding all the episodes 6 ^! i hope this helps to enjoy your memories ^ ^!

  • I seem to recall the theme song....it's pricking in my memory

  • I used to see videos of this series sold in stores as a child. I also vaguely recall watching it atleast once. I've always wanted to see it, and now I can finally watch it, yay!

  • Piplup the Pokemon Character was More Popular for Girls than Boys! XD!

  • I remember watching this and playing to be a mermaid. Oh, this is song so catchy!

  • Thank u for uploading these episodes I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this ;)

    thank u agian XD

  • Wowww, I've been searching for sooo long for this cartoon!!!!!! Thank you for posting! :)

  • Oh how I loved this when I was little! Real nostalgic, it's great!

  • cat imi placea si desenul asta:XX

  • OMIGOD! I was looking through my old videos and I completely forgot that I had this on video!

  • OMG! I use to love this show.... never missed it when I was kid... even if they did re-runs.

  • Wow, wow wow wow. I used to love this show. I had the VHS tapes, and watched them over and over again.

  • no affence this is copying the little mermaid this is so copying the little mermaid

  • @Jannielover1

    No, they are BOTH copying the old fairytale that was around way before the TV was invented. There's been so many versions of the same concept it's impossible to find ANY little mermaid story that actually is original.

  • OMG THANK YOU FOR YOU UPLAOD!!! i have been looking for this video forever! i am soo happy thank you uploader!!! <3

  • ooh... it's beautiful und pretty funny ^^ i love it!

  • omg i remember this! i used to watch it all the time when i was little, lol so many memories :)

  • ...this looks and sounds so much like that cringe-worthy Zelda cartoon it isn't even funny...is it the same producer?

  • welllllllllll. I think there is a part missing because I saw the same video and that time I saw that Justin found Marina washed up on shore.

  • Wow, I actually remember watching this when I was a kid! I remember being so upset when they quit showing it. Thanks for uploading!

  • Hi Oasis

    Really appreciate you for putting up this video. I really love this video.. & I would like to have the softcopies.. Do you know anywhere I can d/l for home use??

  • OMG!! Thank you so much!!! I've been looking for this forever, but could never seem to find it. I remember watching it on tv when I was younger, but I thought it was called Han Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid. No wonder I could never find it, lol!! Thanks again!! ^_^

  • I was looking for this for a very long time! Now I finally found it !!! :)

  • @emiillyy88

    it was posted very long ago ^ ^! glad you love the series ^^ !

  • @0asis hola sabras donde la puedo encontrar en español spanish gracias.

  • I remember this aired on Dutch television. Thanks for sharing, I totally forgot about the series name but never forgot what it was about and the theme song :) glad I found it.

  • Oh, I remember it!! I watched long time ago as a child...:))Brings back memories :D

  • Wow, that brings back good memory's. @Oasis, I beleaved there was from the same makers I thought) a serie about Moglie. Do you know anything about that?

  • @Leto85 I

    wasnt that the mogli adventures my sister keeps asking for O_O!?...

    i remember it well but it was in russian and that cost like 50-99 dollars T_T!

  • @avatatgaby sadly spikealex and Ddisc said no so i wil find alternative methods on finding the rest of the episodes!

  • OLD SCHOOL!!!

  • I loved this when I was a kid

  • ... How did they know her name is Marina if she can't speak and doesn't know sign language? Does she know how to write or was it a lucky guess?

  • yeah this charming little show was very nice too watch ^^

    it's only just now I see how much she looks like princess peach xD

  • @keniakittykat Yes, I loved this series in my childhood

  • omg such a rip but i still like this show better than the little mermaid

  • I remember when this was in the hungarian foxkids

  • I wish that people would stop calling this a rip off of Disney's The Little Mermaid. Let's not forget that The Little Mermaid was a book before it ever became a movie.

  • @Twilightfey

    yeah I would ask the same but its just funny reading peoples comments ^ ^!...

  • @Twilightfey It is simply ignorance, Twilightfey. Its the same thing as Wizard of OZ...people forget it was a book before the 1939 movie.

  • @Twilightfey yes, and then the little mermaid of disney it's a film, instead this it's a cartoon series

  • @Twilightfey yes, and then the little mermaid of disney it's a film, instead this is a cartoon series. please excuse my english

  • @Twilightfey While I agree it was not originally a rip off of the Disney version, Saban licensed and broadcast this after the Disney version due to the success of that film *and* wrote new theme songs that sounded very similar to "Under the Sea" and "Part of Your World," thus effectively making it a rip off.

  • @ebwarg Um... may I point out that all tropical music sounds like rip offs of Under The Sea? O.o; Aside from having that tropical sound, it sounds *nothing* like The Little Mermaid.

  • Haha, I remember I had this episode on VHS...used to watched it everyday oO Thanks!

  • @szoe0717

    any idea what episodes it has ^ ^!.. most of the episodes are hard to obtain now!

  • Holy crap I freaking love this show!!! The opening song makes me so happy, it's so adorable XD <333

  • hahahah i used to love this as a kid,

    now i see how much of a rip off it is of the little mermaid :P

    i must say i like Ariel better >.>

  • regardless, its an anime form, i would'nt care less if its a rip off or not!!!!

    The sad thing is There arent MUCH shows about mermaids! so Far I only know a few such as Mermaid melody, THis and the Adventures of the little mermaid (disney version), then you have the retro vintage anime from long ago, and then The live action mermaids such as H20 and an australian promo called "mermaids"!

  • Also, Prince Justin and Caleb from W.I.T.C.H. = separated at birth.

  • I remember this, I looked forward to sick days because it was the only time I got to watch this show!

  • haha. Me too!! I think I actually faked sick one day just so I'd have an excuse to stay home and watch it!

  • I actually have a beach towel of Marina from this version of Little Mermaid that I got when I was a kid. And I still have it.

  • Yeah, there is this one person That also have one as well ^ ^! althouhg she was kind enough to show me the towel in full perspective T_T.. soo envy her T_T she posted on her deviant art as well so your not alone ^ ^!

  • For the longest time I didn't know what it was from cause I had never seen the show and I don't remember who exactly bought it for me. So seeing this makes me VERY happy. ^_^

  • Wonderful Intro music =) paradise

  • Do they ever do the real story in cartoon. u know whern she turns into sea foam in the end. i vaguely remember watching it at primary and i want to see it. i love fairy tales

  • thats the movie version -_o

  • Wow! This video got more than 100.000 views. That's really a lot for a cartoon that hasn't been on tv for so many years. Maybe it will ever get released in the US by Disney.... I know it's not gonna happen, just wishfull thinking :D

  • Actually tht never occured to me until just now O_O!.....

  • I used to watch this as a kiD , (: I love mermaids, GREETINGS FROM THE PHILIPPINES

  • hey i used to watch this show when i was i kid and i really enjoyed it,thanks for posting,where did you get it by the way? i really wish i could download it from somewhere :)

  • I bought this video and had it Transcoded.

    I canot upload videos online due to a personal reason but there will be a time when i find a way to do so...

  • Omg :D

    I watched that show when I was small xD

    Damn I loved it so much xD

  • amazing series :o)

  • I wonder what company owns the distribution rights to this show?

  • Saban is now owned by disney..so if disney renamed this I think it would be

    DIsney presents "the other little mermaid series: or The anime little mermaid seris...-_-!"

  • @0asis Actually Fox Video released the individual episodes on VHS. As for a DVD release, I'm not sure who would now, but I doubt it would be Disney.

  • OMG! I LOVE YOU! LOL!

    I used to watch this over and over as a kid. YAAAY!

  • which episode is when they throw coin in spa?

  • woooow! i love it! thanks for the upload :)

  • The intro is what made me follow the serios at first, lol. I really miss it, was really in love with it when I was a small child <3

  • omg i have not seen this in years! :)

  • I love this, especially the into.

  • Is this up somewhere ? If anyone found a link to download the series, PM me pleaseee !

  • WOW i have been looking 4 this. it use to come on tv when i was little and i had been lookin 4 it and everyone was like they never heard of it so i thought it was sumthing i made up until now

  • OMG!! I've wanted to see this again for so long!!

    I haven't seen this since i was a kid!!

  • the intro is the best part for me

  • I just remember the episode when Hedwig made a poison pie 4 Prince Justin. I kinda love that episode,too. Can u share this ep. and d others as well? That'll be cool 2 watch. Thnx!!!

  • Ah now i remember her. Long time i haven't seen this.

  • wow I love mermaids and I remember watching this a little when I was a kid! I'm so glad I found it!!!

  • Theres was this episode, where dudly was turned into human...it was my favorite one, when i was little, to do you have that one.. If you do could please download...thank u

  • uhm i think he transformed twice so not sure which episode your talking about O_O!.. the masked ball?

  • @0asis Actually I think there were three where he became human.  The masked ball one, another one which he was turned back into a shark by a rainstorm, and one where he was turned into a girl (named Dudlette, of all things!).

  • anyone notice that a lot of the music is from Digimon

  • i don' thtink so ^ ^ it may sound like digimon or something else but its really is'nt!.... i was so sure this was before digimon XD plus i don't know if this is the Original Score or the us version!

  • the sorceror's name is ANSEM? like from Kingdom Hearts?

  • I know ha ha

  • yeah i was kinda surprised as well O_O!

  • @Yuffyninja No, it's Anselm.

  • Marina is so cute^_^

  • I´ve never seen this before but it´s verry cool^_^

  • wow this brings back memories....love it

  • Marina's hair kind of reminds me of Princess Peach's, but that's me being geeky. XP

    I like the seahorse friend, she's pretty cute. I don't think I've watched this before, but I remember the series. Thank you~

  • Because you don't understand that the Little Mermaid is not originally owned by Disney.

  • this was made in japan you know...
