The Little Mermaid

"Good evening, everyone! I am Ariel, the Little Mermaid, and I’m here to celebrate the beauty of dreams and the courage to follow them. Just like I traded my voice for a chance to explore the world above the sea, I encourage you all to embrace your own unique journeys. Remember, it's not just about how you look on the outside, but the magic and kindness you carry within. Thank you for diving into my world!"

"The Little Mermaid" was originally released in theaters on November 17, 1989, and had a successful run, staying in theaters for several months. It was re-released in theaters multiple times, including a special edition in 1997. Overall, its various theatrical runs contributed to its lasting popularity and cultural impact.

Disney's "The Little Mermaid," released in 1989, grossed over $211 million worldwide at the box office. It was a significant success that helped revitalize Disney's animated film division and is considered a classic in animation history. Adjusted for inflation, its earnings are even more substantial, reflecting its enduring popularity over the years.

"The Little Mermaid" primarily falls within the fantasy genre, featuring magical elements and mythical creatures like mermaids. It also incorporates themes of romance and adventure, as the protagonist embarks on a journey driven by love and desire for a different life. Additionally, it can be seen as a coming-of-age story, highlighting personal growth and the challenges of making difficult choices.

In "The Little Mermaid," characterization is vividly portrayed through Ariel's adventurous spirit and curiosity about the human world, which contrasts with her father's protective nature. Ursula, the sea witch, is characterized by her cunning and manipulative personality, using her charm to deceive Ariel. Additionally, Prince Eric is depicted as brave and noble, showcasing his desire for freedom and adventure. These character traits drive the plot and highlight the themes of longing and sacrifice throughout the story.

Disney's "The Little Mermaid" does not specify an exact year for its setting, but it is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale of the same name. While the story features elements that suggest a timeless, fantastical world, the aesthetic and cultural influences hint at a 19th-century backdrop. However, the film's narrative primarily focuses on fantasy and adventure rather than historical accuracy.

The value of the 1993 First Edition banned cover of "The Little Mermaid" chapter book can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and market demand. Generally, copies in excellent condition can sell for several hundred dollars, while those in less pristine condition may be valued lower. Collectors often seek this edition due to its unique cover art and the controversy surrounding its ban, making it a notable item in Disney memorabilia. For an accurate appraisal, consulting recent auction results or specialized collectors' guides is recommended.

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" from Disney's The Little Mermaid is primarily in the key of D minor. The song features a dramatic and expressive melody that reflects the character Ursula's manipulative and cunning nature. The use of this key enhances the darker themes conveyed in the lyrics and the overall atmosphere of the performance.

In "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea," Ariel's last name is given as "Ariel," reflecting her identity as the daughter of King Triton. Although she is often referred to simply as Ariel throughout the films, her full name is not explicitly stated in the original "The Little Mermaid." The sequel focuses on her daughter, Melody, and Ariel's life as a mother.

Attina, one of Ariel's sisters from Disney's "The Little Mermaid," does not have an officially specified birthday in the canon of the films or related media. As a fictional character, her birthday is not detailed in the storyline. Fans often speculate or create their own interpretations, but there is no definitive answer from Disney.

In "The Little Mermaid," the falling action occurs after Ariel sacrifices her voice to gain legs and win Prince Eric's love. After a series of challenges, including the prince's unawareness of her true identity and the interference of the sea witch Ursula, Ariel ultimately learns that true love requires sacrifice. The tension decreases as Ariel faces the consequences of her choices, leading to the resolution where she must confront Ursula and reclaim her life in the sea. This phase sets the stage for the climax and resolution of the story.

In the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid" gives the sea witch her beautiful voice in exchange for a potion that will give her legs. The sea witch warns her that every step she takes will feel like walking on sharp knives and that she will only be able to keep her human form if she wins the love of the prince. This sacrifice of her voice symbolizes the Little Mermaid's willingness to give up her most precious gift for a chance at a human life and love.

Oh, dude, good question! Technically, yeah, mermaids and mermen in The Little Mermaid are naked, but they're also not real, so it's not like they have to worry about modesty or anything. Plus, they're underwater, so who needs clothes when you're swimming around with a bunch of fish? Just keep swimming, right?

The statue of the Little Mermaid in Denmark is a bronze sculpture based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. It is located in Copenhagen, specifically on the Langelinie promenade. The statue is a popular tourist attraction and symbol of the city.

Presumably Flounder is a flounder, although he doesn't look like one. Flounder are bottom-feeding fish: they are flat fish that swim parallel to the ocean's bottom and surface (in other words, they appear to lie flat on one side in the water). And they have two eyes on their top side (because the other side is perpetually facing the ocean floor).

They are creepy-looking fish (mostly because of those two eyes right next to each other on the top side). Google "flounder fish pictures" and you'll see what I mean.

I would guess that the Disney animators made Flounder physiologically inaccurate because real Flounder are so creepy, and also for practical reasons: a flat fish that lies on one side is an impossible film character. In order to see the fish's "face," the camera perspective would have to keep switching to a top-side view (looking down from above the characters).

The rest of the time, the flounder would appear as a horizontal line floating in the water next to the other characters.

The Grimm Brothers didn't write it. The tale was created by Hans Christian Andersen, and the original had sci-fi overtones. Mermaids live three times as long as humans but dissolve into the ocean at the end of 300 years. Some effervesce prematurely, like Ariel. She dies in the original for violating taboo on race-mixing.

The song "Kiss the Girl" was sung by the American actor Samuel Wright who voiced the part of Sebastian the crab. Peter Andre recorded a version for his 1998 album "Time" (Japanese release) & also released it as a single in 1998.
