Review of The Little Mermaid (2018) by Anthony T — 01 Sep 2018

This is not the story of Ariel and the Disney classic, but may be as good or better in its own right. Set in the early 1900's, a concerned uncle sets off on a story of an elixer that could cure his ailing niece.

There in a circus is a mermaid as the star attraction which his neice is convinced is real and whose soul is bound to an evil wizard, who she struck a bargain with when young to find her true love. There is a supporting circus cast of characters all of whom he made similar promises to and all go on this journey to free the mermaid and help the ailing child, who was told that she has a mermaid's heart and need only swim to gain her strength back.

If this had only been a musical version, I think it would be better than the Disney's Ariel version. Go see this movie and I am sure you won't be disappointed! I Loved it!
