Halle Bailey isn't the only Little Mermaid who can currently be seen on the big screen. After the recent release of Disney's The Little Mermaid, a live-action remake of the original animated film released in 1989, a separate adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersem story has also been put into limited theaters by The Asylum. The film is also now available on digital outlets and can be watched at home. For a peek at this new animated version of The Little Mermaid, you can check out the trailer below, courtesy of JoBlo.

The Asylum's The Little Mermaid, also referred to as Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, is directed by Michael Johnson (Battle Oasis) and written by Anna Rasmussen (Shark Side of the Moon). As with the Disney adaptations, it takes inspiration from the original story by Andersen from 1837.

No relation to the anime of the same name or the Don Bluth film Titan A.E. for that matter, this Attack on Titan is – you guessed it – another creatively titled film from The Asylum. This one justifies its title by having a rebel faction on Saturn’s moon Titan object to Earth’s deal with the government to harvest water crystals. Since they launch an attack on us, the film, whose original title, Alien Space Battle, still appears in the end credits would be more accurately called Attack from Titan. But that just doesn’t sound the same.

After an attack on a freighter carrying those water crystals back to Earth Citizen Prime Ortiz orders Max Reece to put together a mission to rescue it. There’s just one problem, the only...
