BWAHAHAHAHA to that one girl.

I was much, much younger than you when the movie came out, but right after I saw it my mom bought me this anime version of it that was more like the original story. I think I only watched it a few times and then put it away because I thought it was too sad.

I remember that version. Rented it every time I was taken to the video store, and I finally tracked it down on DVD. Really, The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite fairytale because it's so unique in its genre. The princess did not get her man, nor did she live happily ever after.

But isn't that par for the course as far as Hans Christian Andersen goes. At his best, the man's stories are sad as fuck, but you're always lead to believe there's something redeeming about the tragedy even if it's tearing your guts out.

Personally, though, I'd much rather there be a Disney-obsessed generation than an Andersen-obsessed one. The therapy bills would be sky-high.

Too true. That's part of the reason I liked his stories so much, though. Even the Grimm tales still had the heroine getting what she wants and living happily the rest of her days. By the time I was six, I knew the world didn't work like that, and Andersen's tales made me feel validated in a way; sometimes, life really does suck, and it's up to you to find a bright side to it.
