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!

How old is The Little Mermaid?
Melody is twelve years old. In the beginning of the movie, when Ariel is searching for Melody, one of the places Ariel looks is the kitchen where Chef Louis says he doesn't know- but that cake is finished with "twelve petite candles". I find her age puzzling though, because that movie came out in 2000. So if you calculate when Ariel was born, you'd get 1988 which is a year before The Little Mermaid was released.
Having been a fan of the original Little Mermaid for years, and having two children who are big fans, our household couldn't wait for the release of this sequel. We weren't let down. I admit I was somewhat apprehensive after the Lion King 2 sequel, which was much more frightening than the original, but as my 2 1/2 year old said after watching this movie "it didn't scare me!", so I was quite relieved. The kids absolutely loved the movie and were glued to the screen. They've watched it twice in the span of about 20 hours now. I buy this DVD movies from the aussie dvd store website.
