The Little Mermaid



A familiar song! Let's swing and get high!
Under the Sea~


Without my introduction, you've known it's The Little Mermaid.

First of all, don't forget it's originally Andersen's(安徒生) fairy tale.
And when we talk about the "real"  美人魚 in Chinese, it's actually something called "儒艮".
A creature you'll never use "beautiful" to describe. XD

The following is the plot:
   A mermaid princess, Ariel, felt bored with her life in the ocean. She wanted to live on land just as human. One day, when Prince Eric was celebrating his birthday on the ship, he met a heavy storm. In the chaos, Ariel sang a love song to him, and saved his life. 
   To find Eric personally, she got help from a witch called Ursula. She turned Ariel into human, but Ariel had to give her voice to the witch. Moreover, she had to kiss Eric in three days, otherwise she would change back. 
   On the second day, Ursula disguised as a beautiful girl by using the voice exchanged from Ariel. Eric was cheated and would like to marry her. On the third day, when the witch's fraud was revealed, it was already too late. Ariel became a mermaid, and Ursula captured her by force.
   In order to save his daughter, Ariel's father, King Triton surrendered to Ursula, giving her the throne. This time, Eric came to their rescue. He used the mast(船桅) to stab into Ursula's body, defeating her successfully.

Here are my thoughts:
1. I am especially impressed by The Little Mermaid, because I once saw its "ice-skating show" when studying in elementary school. The vibrant music, the performers' graceful movement on ice, and the light blazing with storyline were all magnificent. As a "naïve" kid, I was really scared by Ursula's evil appearance at that time. XD
2. Love is so powerful. There are many touching stories in fairy tales and dramas. Ariel sacrificed her fascinating voice to meet her dear prince. In our real life, there are even people who sacrificed their lives for lovers or family. Will I be willing to do these courageous deeds?

Love is the sweetest and greatest emotion!!!


p.s. There is always a cute figure in every Disney animation.
...Sebastian! I want to give it a big hug. =v=

Let's enjoy the joyful ending of The Little Mermaid!
