It's an animation that should have been watched years ago, but it's more of a movie for adults than it is for teenagers. Despite the Disney elements, there are always cute characters such as Guppies and Sebastian the Red Crab cheering on the side, making the tone of the story both romantic and comedic. This is an element that a popular movie must have.
From a storytelling point of view, that's the standard Disney model, and the reason why these works endure and win over a wide audience is that the stories are well told. In short, the credit to the writers is huge.
This film is based on Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", the original is a tragic story, poignant and moving. And Disney's style is naturally impossible for this story to end tragically, so this adaptation can be said to be very successful, writing another possibility of beautiful love, which is also loved by the audience. Disney changed the original tragic ending into a happy reunion, and added many vivid characters to portray the Little Mermaid Ariel as Disney's first heroine with a modern personality, which was extremely successful.
The theme is still as simple as the ancient theme, but the people who love each other cannot be together because of factors such as background and concept, but the two people who love each other bravely pursue it and finally break through many obstacles and come to the end.
The little mermaid Ariel is undoubtedly the radiant protagonist, brave, lovely, beautiful, kind, of course, more importantly, let me see her persistent pursuit of love instinct, the cartoon does not hide it, she fell in love with the prince mainly because of him The handsome appearance, love and pursuit of unique character. Of course, due to the limited space, it is impossible to deeply expand the prince's heart. The love of two people is more of an instinctive love between young men and women, and there is no deeper communication (no way, Ariel can't say a word at this time).
Netizens commented: "A drastic adaptation of Andersen's fairy tale, Disney's "The Little Mermaid" has brought new life to this already excellent story. Although the film has greatly deleted the original tragic color, it is exactly the same. The mermaid Ariel created by the film makes people see a new independent spirit derived from free women, her perseverance in love, and her personality of bravely chasing happiness at any cost, making the heroine portrayed in this film and the heroine. The previous Disney animation images are very different. It can be said that this work started. Disney jumped out of the shackles of fairy tales and turned to cater to the times and seductively resonate. The moderate gag and the classic and moving soundtrack also make The film also has a strong commitment to Disney classics.”
Therefore, I also deeply like Ariel as a lovely and charming character. Compared with those silly and sweet weak heroines, Ariel has the lovely beauty of women, and also has the independent spirit of brave, persevering and free women. This will be a great source of inspiration for my future creations.
Later, the witch turned into the princess of the neighboring country and snatched the prince, which is reasonable. But the prince had fallen in love with Ariel the night before and planned to be with her. Suddenly, a princess from a neighboring country came, and immediately changed her face, changed her position, and did not even explain to Ariel. She married the princess of the neighboring country completely silently. At this time, her image also collapsed. Call it a scumbag. After all, repaying kindness is not an inevitable reason for marriage, not to mention that since he has a relationship with Ariel, he married someone else without any explanation. Isn't this scum? Of course, it's for conflict, for twist needs, but the writers probably overlooked that.
Of course, it is gratifying that the prince still pulled back in the last round. He took the initiative to join the battle and assisted Ariel to save the mermaid family. Neptune also finally recognized his daughter's feelings and blessed them. The story is completed. From this point of view, the prince's image is preserved. However, compared with Ariel, the prince's image is not full and radiant enough, and the prince in "Cinderella" is not much different; the plumpness is not comparable to that of Aladdin in "Aladdin's Lamp".
All in all, though, it's going to be one of my favorites.
