The Little Mermaid

I watched the entire movie on my own (yes, really I did) and the character Sereia (aka the Mermaid) looks vastly different from the poster. Aside from that for the most part, the animation is awful, it looked like recorded gameplay footage with cheaply made models, and the characters' expressions were too much, like they were moving their mouths excessively. The visual effects were bad at times, especially during the Whirlpool scene and lighting effects. The character designs are weird, an example is Dhara the character that supposedly saved the Prince wears very modern clothes even though the story is supposed to take place around the 19th/18th century which I found funny considering that she's also a fashion designer/student, Another thing is that Sereia's clothes look strikingly similar to Elsa from Frozen's dress, especially the sleeves.

Also, the sea turtle and the parrot were annoying in this movie, they took away the moments that were genuinely good.

For the most part, this movie is just an obvious cash grab of Disney's The Little Mermaid, I'm pretty sure it's because of the remake since it was released during that same year, not surprised considering this is from the asylum.

I give it a 2/10, the 2 was because they kept some parts like the original story.

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.

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.

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.
