Awww such a sweet ending. This is how Hans Christian Anderson SHOULD have ended it. So much better! I have searched for a little mermaid like this for so long but other than Disney's there haven't been any. They've all been so sad. Thank you for posting this!
They do (choose to not have war) but still a lot of movies that involve kindoms marrying their children to avoid war (why can't kingdoms just be peaceful WITHOUT making their children marry who they don't wanna marry)
@LadySpellcaster Ariel sacrifices her voice and gets it back, big deal. That's not a sacrifice. In the end she gets her legs, her prince, everything she wants at no cost other than Ursula's life.
I know the story quite well, thank you. I've seen both stories hundreds of times.
Ariel's happy ending was not without sacrifices though, as explained by directors John Musker and Ron Clements in the "Story Behind The Story" segment in the DVD, Ariel understands that in order to live her happy life with Eric, she has to give up her old life in the sea, and Triton understands that in order for his daughter to be truly happy, he has to learn to let her go. Hence why Ariel and Triton hug each other at the end.
@1987AnimeBoy But no, because if Ariel had remained in the sea she would have been 'miserrrrrable for the rest of her life." So, I hardly consider that a sacrifice.
@secretsxoxo1 No, she sacrifices her voice to get her wish. She doesn't simply get her every whim in exchange for nothing like Ariel does in Disney's version.
dude why is King Triton always so buff?

@TheLadyLala22 At least these people remembered that Hans Andersen's "The Little Sea-Maid" was a story about making the ultimate sacrifice.

@rockinamber18 The ending is very different from the Disney one. In case you've missed it.

@rockinamber18; well, they're not going to kill the herorine in a show for kids; the fairytale with the mermaid dying is depressing

@jacobzeier It doesn't have bad animation at all. It has 'low-budget' animation.

Either the birds were a joke, or they just completely switched the parts without realizing. The male bird has eyelashes...
