The Little Mermaid

This will be a good movie to watch at home with little kids, so you can chat with them about the action in the movie. There is one great learning opportunity here: the way the sea witch goes about using the desires and weaknesses of mer-people to get them painted into a corner, then offers an even worse deal to try and fix it. She is always adding some difficult provision to the agreement during negotiations, and she has a fresh scheme going every time she encounters anyone. Real life is like that sometimes. Mostly the message seems to be the power of love and niceness. Not everyone will be happy with the animation style, which is so simple and almost video game-like it seems unfinished in places. Not the usual thing for those used to animated features made be a brigade of artists and technicians. The credits here are remarkably brief. It gets better as it rolls along, with lots to look at and no boring bits. There are stylistic touches that are very likeable, and loads of beauty. The story is nice and should work for the little ones. It answers their questions, never assuming that they can guess or fill in where an adult might. The story really does progress, too, building dramatic tension until ... don't want to give it away. When a child asks, "Why don't they just (fill in the blank)?" Because the story does not have to make sense. But this ending pretty much does make sense! The hopeless situation comes to a happy ending and all is great.

This sad excuse of a movie is just another poor cash grab. Asylum does not care about quality, all they wanted was to jump on the little mermaid remake bandwagon. The animation looks like it was all generated by ai and no one went in to correct any animation errors, there are countless times where the characters move in unrealistic ways and the amount of clipping is abysmal. The water effects are non existent, the mermaids look like they float mid air, not swim underwater. The lighting is bad. The voice acting is bad, if it even is voice acting and not ai generated. The character models looked like their hands were burnt to a crisp.

This is a sad excuse for a children's movie and even kids deserve better than this.

I watched this movie with my two brothers, Jonas and Rhyland. Our mom died three years ago, this movie brought her back, if only for an hour and 37 minutes, she was with us again. Jonas has been struggling from breast cancer, Rhyland's wife left him, and my beard turned green due to acne. This was all fixed after viewing this movie. The colors, emotions, and plot truly moved us, we were all crying by the end. It was so emotional. The peace I found after watching this masterpiece is incomparable. I found god, and will now attend synagogue with my two beautiful brothers. This movie made me a real Christian. Some say it's AI, if AI means amazing idea, then absolutely! Seriously, i highly recommend.

As a 3D animator by trade, this movie is an absolute affront to craft. Stiff animation, flat lighting, poor lip sync are just the tip of the iceberg. Hair that doesn't move (or get wet), underwater is virtually indistinguishable from surface air... it felt like an animatic, or a school project by first year students.

The abhorrent animation is not helped by lackluster writing and stiff, lifeless acting. An absolute whiff and 90 minutes of your life you will simply not get back.

How this was green lit and passed internal approvals is beyond me. I would never put something of this quality forward.

This movie is my Roman Empire, the amount of raw emotion will leave you shell shocked, and the beautiful enticing romantic story left me on the brink of tears. This absolute banger has a plot twist that will leave its audience clinging to their hair in fear of losing it from pure shock! The ending puts other movies to shame as people have reported dying at the climax from the stress of the protagonists probable demise well not from the climax but I can't imagine what else it could be. Talking about the protagonists her mouth was very interesting and expressive. I would not recommend watching this if your under 6 or over, if your a man or a woman or anything else, if your over the age of 6 I really would not recommend watching it.
