How Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ Changed the Original Story

Disney has been on a long stretch of remaking their animated movies. As fans enjoyed the massively successful live-action The Little Mermaid when it hit Disney+ earlier this fall, they noticed differences from the 1989 classic. With some music reworked to better fit modern standards, it's clear the remake isn't exactly the same. But it's easy to forget that the animated The Little Mermaid isn't the original story. Long before Walt Disney's studio became famous, Hans Christian Andersen first wrote about a mermaid who fell in love with a human prince. Published in 1837, along with a collection of other fairytales, this story was called The Little Mermaid. Though Disney's film is based on Andersen's tale, they are drastically different. Like most of their fairytale-based films, Disney forged their own path, portraying a "Disney-fied" version of the story. Sanitizing the story for a younger audience meant removing many elements and adding some pieces of their own. Disney also rejected the tragic ending in favor of a happily-ever-after for Ariel (Jodi Benson) and Eric (Christopher Daniel Barnes). Without these significant changes, the story everyone knows today wouldn't exist, proving that sometimes, changing a story is for the better.
