In the original Anderson tale- not Gerry Anderson but Hans Christian, it was a sermonizing thing against Race Mixing- The Mermaid- no name in the original ( Hah , here"s an expendable character) makes love to the Viking Prince- and woosh- first she loses her voice- then her life- dissolves into the ocean well ahead of schedule- it was explained that Mermaids live for 300 years in normal circumstances and at the end of this time become foam on the water- for that reason no Mermaid bodies are ever found or fossils recovered- a neat science-fiction touch to explain lack of evidence. It was against Race- or more accurately species-mixing.

Answer 2: I think the moral is more about not trying to be something you are not, or it will end badly. eg, Sirenetta (the little mermaid does, in fact, have a name) dies and has to do 300 years of service with the daughters of the air to earn an immortal soul.

What is the moral of the Disney movie The Little Mermaid?

The moral of the story the Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson is that women should not change themselves for a man. This is apparent because after changing herself, the prince cheats on the mermaid. Instead of killing the woman and giving in to what would ultimately make her evil, the mermaid returns to the sea where she dies and turns into sea-foam.
