Best Answer

* The mermaid in the movie marries the prince, in the book she refuses to kill the prince and the princess and becomes the sea. * In the movie, the mermaid is Ariel, the seawitch is Ursula, the prince is Eric, etc. and they have no names in the book. * In the book, of course, there is no Sebastian, no Flounder, and etc. * The book is much more graphic, in addition to losing her voice, the mermaid's feet bleed when she walks, as if she were walking on glass. Also, to return to the sea she must cut out the hearts of both the prince and the princess he married. Also: the seawitch doesn't try to steal the prince away, instead he ends up marrying a princess that his parents arranged him to.

Why did Walt Disney write The Little Mermaid?

The tale is quite different than the Disney cartoon. it is more or less a morality tale against Miscegeneation- again with Parental defiance the Mermaid goes to the sea witch ( a more or less friendly character in the story- not the movie) and she does get her ground legs- she also loses- first her voice and eventually her life- for making love to a Non-Atlantean-- she dissolves into the water- well ahead of schedule- in the tale I seem to recall ( this was omitted in Disney version) Mermaids live for a maximum span of 300 years ( three times the human max)- and then effevesce or dissolve into the ocean form- so there are no Mermaid bodies washing ashore- fossils, etc- this is a neat science fiction touch to explain the lack of Mermaid bodies or fossils!
