The Little Mermaid is one of the few movies I think is
better than the book. Hans Christian Anderson is the king of bittersweet
endings. The Little Mermaid in the book doesn’t get the prince in the end,
instead she essentially commits suicide and becomes an angel. In the Disney
movie on the other hand, Ariel does get Prince Eric at the end of the movie. It
is a wonderful story about how true love can conquer anything including the
distance between the land and the sea. It also shows the depth of a father’s
love as King Triton first tries to protect his daughter from the scary human
world and then shows his great love by allowing her to be with her human
prince. It is truly one of Disney’s greats!
