Ruined one of my favorites

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2006)

In the original H.C. Andersen story, the Little Mermaid dies. But because she learned to love unconditionally, she did not turn into sea foam (as mermaids do). She ascended and obtained a human soul.
Pretty advanced themes for a children's story! I was about six years old when I first heard this story. What struck me was how the Mermaid didn't get what she thought she wanted, but ended up with something much more important/valuable. It was probably one of my earliest spiritual experiences.
Thanks Disney! Take out everything special and put in some singing animals. I hate this movie and I hate Disney!
It was this movie that made me stop watching Disney. I even try to avoid ABC!
