| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Pros & Cons... |
| On the whole I personally agree alot with "ceebcorry2"'s review. Unfortunately I dare say that, to a very minor extent, yes, Disney did in a way destroy the true meaning of the story by giving it a happy ending...but I will love Ariel 'till death, because it was she who gave life to the love I have for mermaids and this story. As for the Rusalochka version...well...I expected better. I do agree that the characters are very well put to give life to the characters. The Prince is handsome, true, and The Little Mermaid does have that unearthly mystical touch...but I'm very disappointed in how the story was completely disfigured from Hans Christian Andersen's original text! I didn't quite fancy the mermaids causing the Prince's shipwreck, nor the green hair exchange instead of the voice. As for the costuming...well, I agree 100% with the above-mentioned review...the fish-tails are extremely fake; but when one conciders how the movie was taken a while ago when effects weren't at their best, I suppose they would have to do. As for the scenery, though quite green and blue with very few (if any) colourful plantation, was not bad. Personally I am hoping one day I'll become a movie-maker (producer/director etc...), and am hoping in making the best (so far) adaptation of the original story in cinemas. I have already finished a great part of the costume designs ...we'll see in future... | |
