The Little Mermaid	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Little Mermaid (aka Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid) is an anime adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" produced by Toei Animation. It was released in 1975 in Japan and was dubbed into English in 1978.It has some elements that Disney would later use, such as an animal companion for the mermaid (Fritz the Dolphin) and an antagonistic force seeking to hurt the mermaid on land (Jemmy the cat). The plot follows the original story more closely than the Disney version, keeping the sad ending.Discotek Media bought the rights to the original film and is selling the master copy on their website, with English and Japanese audio, and English subtitles.

The Little Mermaid / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
The Little Mermaid / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Very slight case with the Prince's parents, who in the original made their preference for a daughter-in-law clear, but stopped short of forcing their son into a marriage he didn't want. Here, they do exactly that. In both versions, he ends up preferring the choice they made for him, so the change is ultimately moot.

The Little Mermaid / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: The King and Queen lie to their son that his mother is sick, then reveal to him that they're on the way to meet the princess they have picked for him. They also forcefully separate their son and Marina so he can marry the other girl instead.

The Little Mermaid / int_bd2812b5	comment	Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: The absolute best thing that can be said about the ending is that Marina gains a soul from her refusal to kill the prince and goes straight to Heaven rather than being stuck in limbo for 300 years.
