You should go to Tivoli, go to The Flying Trunk ride (pretty sure that’s what it’s called) it’s basically a bunch of Hans Christian Anderson’s stories, so go. While you’re there, get a French hot dog bun with a red sausage and French dressing, best things in existence- boy I miss Denmark, my farfar (danish for father’s father) turned 80 last week.

In fact ,this is not an original story for Cinderella ! It's a very ancient folklore with not a certain origin ! We even have our own version in Greece ,which "Cinderella ( her nane is Rhodopis) " is a Greek slave in Egypt and falls in love with the Pharaoh.

Go Jedi Bunny’s Mother

The story ends by telling the reader "Don't rely on others to go places, work hard to get to where you want to go ..." At least that's how I interpret the ending ...

maybe there's a metaphor in that?

Oooooooooooooooooooofff...

@@CongressGamingINC That must've been rough. Glad to have you alright!

It says that the seawater is the only thing that actually soothes her pain.

Maybe children would be able to appreciate an ending that isn't ideal if they were actually exposed to media that had "bad" endings. I remember thinking about how silly it was that movie endings were all "perfect." Unrealistic. I don't think younger children need to know everything about the world, but they can handle a little sadness in a movie. The first time I saw a movie that didn't manage to keep all the protagonists happy and alive, it was a foreign movie and very eye-opening. Sad that I had to watch a film made for audiences in a completely different part of the world just to see a realistic negative end.

It's beautiful because it's about unconditional love and has a bittersweet ending. She does not get her prince and she cannot bring herself to kill him, so she sacrifices herself instead. That leads her to transcend what she is and become a daughter of the air, earning her soul. It's a beautiful message and no it does not mean that you should sacrifice yourself over a man (you really shouldn't though). It means love without expecting anything in return and wishing that person happiness. You will get something better if you do this.

I was actually more familiar with the original as a child since it my family had easy access to libraries but could only rent or buy dvds and there was no garentee the disney version was in store.

Disney changed aspects of the story that didn't need to change ... The statue of the human littlest is obsessed with IS the reason for her to gravitate towards the prince because he looked identical to the object of her infatuation ... The relationship between the characters is better written, their motivations are way better defined,the world as well as the characters are waaay more fantastical ... The complaint that Ariel likes Eric because he's hot HAS merit ... The connection between her and Erin doesn't exist ... She's not obsessed with the statue like in the book,so her attraction towards Eric becomes much more shallow ... The book has much better narrative and characters ... Walt Disney changed the stories he adapted yes, but he also elevated them ,added new stuff ... Snow White's personality as well as her relationship with the dwarfs was a Disney addition ... Cinderella being an optimistic dreamer was also a Disney addition ... I could go on a rant about the topic, but I won't ... There are other adaptations both live action and animated that do a much better job at adapting HCA's story without f*cking it up ... The story at its core IS A TRAGEDY , turning it into happy ever after ruins the entire point of the story ... Walt Disney wanted to turn it into a feature, but never did because the story is so meticulously written that every aspect of the story LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE CLIMAX , and changing aspects of the story will greatly impact the entire thing ... My favourite version is a 1968 Russian animated version ( it's available on KZfaq with subtitles ) ... The 1989 film is good , but not as good as the story Andersen wrote ... From a writing perspective they heavily downgraded the original tale ...

Happy endings aren't "dumbing it down". It just makes for a nicer watching experience. Life itself is already sad enough, why make sad movies? I read the story as a kid and absolutely disliked it. I always preferred the disney ending.

Ur a merman/maid?

She was willing to do anything for the man she loved. I don't know if a real person could go through that, but I've heard that this story was written because of Anderson's unrequited love for a male friend. He compared the pain he felt to being cut open and stabbed every waking moment.

@@ratboy2 From my observations of human interactions i believe that is what unrequited love is supposed to feel like. I've never been in love nor do I know what it feels like. All I know is from my silent observations of the humans.

@@hi-nf1lu idk if it’s literal or metaphorical but going the metaphorical route, this is my take. Depending on every relationship there are many abusive relationships. And by many I mean MANY. “She who holds her tongue gets a man” so like “She who stays silent will win the mans heart” if she stay quite and obeys the mans every word, he will be happy and therefore she will get treated “right”. If this is the route, this is a one line metaphor of relationship abuse and silence = reward Hope that helped

In the original story written in its original language; Danish, it never mentioned little mermaid sewing her legs together. A lot of american/canadian/Australian/English book publishers have translated the original story so many times and made so many little alterations along the way. 🇩🇰

it's likely it's the same story, but since TLM is a pretty old story, it wouldn't be unlikely that it got changed at some point through translation and whoever got a hold of the story. I like whatever version of this, but the darker, the better

Some fiction writers love putting threats towards children in their stories. That's why scary myths exist. If you do bad things, you're bad and will hurt someone. If you do bad things, you're a naughty child and won't get nice things for Christmas. Etc. Some myths exist for ok reasons (like keeping kids inside and away from rivers when they're young), but it's sad that parents have always felt the need to scare their children into being good, instead of just raising them well. Be good or you'll suffer.

Emma Broegger Ohhh okay thanks for the clarification whoops!

Emma Broegger, it is widely accepted that he was bisexual, and although I don’t know if he actually wrote the little mermaid for a man, it’s simply not true that his affections were at all limited to one sex. His own journal suggests many habits that contribute to him being bi, and along with the people who knew him agreeing, I think it’s safe to say that he probably attracted to both genders.
