The Little Mermaid

This was shown on TV on the same bill as The Selfish Giant snd a third story that I van't remember, and I think it was shown at least twice, I think on CBS. Both the Selfish Giant and this version of the Little Mermaid are directed by Peter Sander and have such an other-worldly quality to them in terms of the animation and the story - I don't think you ever see anyone actually speaking, and there is just one voice: the narrator (different for each film). This version of The Little Mermaid is faithful to the original story, complete with the "daughters of the air" concept. This version was so haunting that I've never been able to watch another - THIS is the Little Mermaid story I adore.
