The tale was first published in 1837 and has been adapted to various media, including musical theatre, anime and a Disney animated film.īut here’s what is of great interest: Walt Disney and his early artists/workers have “adopted” some of these fairy tales into stories of Mickey and his friends! Unaware of her intentions and carried away in love, Ariel lands up in major trouble and ends up sacrificing herself for her love. The story goes like this- Ursula, the sea witch, makes a devious deal with princess Ariel for her to meet Eric, the human prince she loves. Didn’t we all love Ariel, the beautiful red haired Little Mermaid? "The Little Mermaid" (Danish: Den lille havfrue) is a fairy tale written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about a young mermaid who is willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul.īut not all wishes go as planned even in the fairy tale world.
