After "The Little Mermaid" was released that year, the response was enthusiastic, and it finally earned US$211 million in the global box office in the 20th century, bringing Disney on the cliff back to the right path and leading the trend of animation singing and dancing afterwards. Until the 21st century, "The Little Mermaid" is still the pride of Disney, and the song "Part of Your World" in the film has been sung for a long time.
"The Little Mermaid" is adapted from Andersen's fairy tales, but the whole story actually only borrows the shell of Andersen's fairy tales, and the theme is completely different. Ariel, the protagonist of "The Little Mermaid" is no longer the image of a weak princess in previous Disney movies, but a modern woman who is independent and even has a rebellious spirit. The end of the movie is not like Andersen's fairy tales, but it is a tragedy at the end, but a happy ending. The rhythm of the movie is quite lively. The red-haired little mermaid Ariel and her "follower" serious but often stupid Minister of Red Shrimp are still familiar images to children.
