The Little Mermaid "World Fairy Tale Masterpieces" んぎょ姫

I have decided to upload this even though I haven't found the english dub or a way to translate from the Japanese. However, thanks to youtube's nifty new system, when I do, all I have to do is embed the subtitles.

Here's the information I have on this adaptation:

Brittanica's Famous Tales from Around the World Little Mermaid - Broadcasted in the US in the 1980s in a series hosted by Pat Morita. I suppose originally it was made in Japan, and it appears to have originally been episode 113 of 154.

This estimation is based on some people who have contacted me trying to find information on this version (thinking I would know because of mermaid adaptation videos on my youtube account), some forum sites in which people were remembering having watched it and trying to find it, PLUS having found some english dubs from the same series, though admittedly from series called by different names - for example, the 1977 Merlin's Cave Fable Cartoons' Seal Skin, and the 1980s Tales of Magic "Early Anime" Beauty and the Beast. I happen to know both dubs were in the same series as this little mermaid because the foreign sites have them as such.

The only version I could find for a while was in Arabic through Arabic sites. This version is nearly impossible to track down. I contacted the only Brittanica Tales website I could find, and they told me they no longer hold any copies in any format. - the Australian Branch and the main branch.
