Have you ever read the original “Little Mermaid” story? Disney took more than a little artistic license with that ending, too. Had to, can you imagine the uproar from all the parents who took their precious little princesses to see it and ended up traumatized, had they done an accurate rendition of the ending?”
I never read Little Mermaid. What happens to her at the end of the story? Please don’t tell me it involves mayo;)
SPOILERS!!
Prince falls in love with pretty human princess who can actually talk and marries her instead of the little mermaid. Little mermaid's sisters cut off all their hair and give it to the witch. Witch, in return gives sisters an enchanted knife.
All the little mermaid has to do is slaughter the prince and princess with said enchanted knife and bathe her legs in the blood and *poof* she will become a mermaid again. Sisters beg little mermaid to commit aforementioned slaughter. Little mermaid refuses and is abandoned on shore by her family.
Left desolate, she begins to dissolve into seafoam as the witch's spell breaks. Passing angels take pity on her and give her a soul so that she may at least have an afterlife.
And the prince and princess lived happily ever after!

Sorry for the late reply. I've been celebrating Thanksgiving and away from my computer. In the original, the little mermaid saves the prince from drowning. He swears the only girl he'll marry is the one who rescued him. When he meets the princess he's been arranged to marry, she looks just like he remembers the girl who rescued him, so he thinks it was her. The little mermaid can't talk to tell him it was her instead. She watches him marry the other girl. Her sisters tell her the only way for her to break the spell and return home is to kill the prince before sunrise after the wedding. She goes in to kill him, sees him sleeping next to his new wife, decides she loves him too much to kill him, and walks out into the waves, where as the sun rises she turns into sea foam and slowly washes away with the tide.
What's not to like? Has Disney cartoon written all over it, don't you think?
