Lol I tried to do a 5 second animation of an eye opening and closing some time ago just to see if I could do it and how it would be and I gave up after like two frames… 🥲 I could never animate an entire movie by myself. But I also tried out stop motion animation in the way that the artist William Kentridge does (always using the same paper and just erasing and redrawing and taking photos of it) for a school project and it went better. I made it 1:40 min long and I had maybe 3000 frames in total. It’s not amazing, but it was still extremely exhausting. So, for a movie animated by a single person, this is actually quite ok.

I'm pretty impressed with it. More so then that- I think if he had some help with facial animations and someone to make models, he could make movies himself and probably go along way.

So, about the hair thing. In the original fairy tale, the Sea-Witch is more of a literal bargainer. She warns the mermaid that not only will her human feet hurt as if she was walking on needles the entire time, but if she can't make the prince fall in love with her her heart will literally break and her body will dissolve into sea foam. When the prince starts falling in love with another woman, her sisters go to the sea witch and beg her for an out, giving their hair as compensation. In return the sea witch gives them a cursed dagger that will free the little mermaid from the spell if she kills the prince with it. However at the last moment she finds she can't go through with it, throws herself back into the ocean and dies. Yeah, fairy tales.

Right...except for the last part. Not that the little mermaid's death is wrong, it's just a little too simplistic to say that's all that happens. After she turns into foam, she's told by some voice that it's now her duty to watch over children at bedtime, protecting them from nightmares and heartbreak. So it kind of goes from one mythical species to another: the little mermaid becomes the little pixie... Or angel? Or sandman? But there's a reason Disney named her Ariel. She becomes a sky spirit. Anyway it's said the story is an allegory for a crush Anderson had on a (male) fellow writer after he rejected him.

As for ha's crush well, he wasn't rejected because he never actually confessed those feelings. He wrote them in a letter but never sent it because his belief in his faith wouldn't allow him to actively peruse a homosexual relationship. When the letter was found after his death the friend did say that he didn't feel the same way, but that he also felt sorry for the pain those feeling caused Hans.

Anyone who has read the original Little Mermaid story will not be surprised by the hair plot twist. SPOILER FOR THE ORIGINAL H. C. ANDERSON STORY: In the original story, the little mermaid sacrifices her tongue (yes, tongue), to the seawitch to gain legs. However each step she takes will feel like being cut by a 100 or 1000 knives (depends on the version). On the third day, if she fails to kiss the prince, she will turn to foam on the waves of the sea. Her sisters gives up their hair to the seawitch to save their sister, an the seawhitch gives them a shell-knife that the little mermaid must use to kill the prince an she will turn back into a mermaid (and once again, depending on the version, regain or not regain her voice) and not turn into foam. The seawitch is not an antagonist, she is just a trader/dealer in the original story. Also the reason for why bodyparts are so important to mermaids: They don't have souls. Mermaids live forever, but have no soul to enter the afterlife (atleast in the versions I've read) So a tongue or hair is not something small. For all the mermaids truly have is their bodies. Also the sisters became fully bald. Like, no hair. And I think they could not grow anymore hair either. Also they, all of the sisters, had the most beautiful hair of all mermaids, and it was a big part of their self-identity.

You're description is very accurate and well done. The only thing that's different is that mermaids live a lifespan of ~300 years, not forever. They turn to seafoam when they experience death, but that's all these is they never go to heaven since they don't have immortal soul.

Pretty much, but none of the versions I have read really have a three day time limit, that only seems to be the Disney version. The only thing I head was that is the prince gets married to someone else she will turn into sea foam on the morning after the wedding. So she could be human for years and all she needed was to have the Prince fall in love with her and marry her.

I love the fact that due to the weird animation everyone's constantly smiling somewhat sinisterly, so whenever a character moves closer to the camera it looks like they're threatening someone

Poor Saber sounds so defeated in this video. Interestingly enough, it also includes some of his best quips. “Nothing is sacred and life is meaningless,” as well as, “I am simultaneously impressed and disgusted.” 😂
The animation is like in some kind of limbo of it being horrendous, yet with some things looking unreasonably good for what it is. Like, some of the lip syncing and part of the expressions are just so fluid, but only in small parts. And while exaggerated, the body language isn’t too bad either.

It's like the creator got complaints that their facial animation was too muted and flat, so they made it more realistic but also cranked it up too high. So it's unnatural again but in a new, horrible way.

I think I know the reason Sereia has tattoos and various inconsistencies in fashion, and it's hilarious. Apparently, to prevent theft, some creators of human vrchat models often put tattoos on the base skin as an identifier. Often, they're overtly elaborate sleeve and chest tattoos. If one were good at texturing, it'd be fairly easy to replace. in fact, I'm almost too sure that much of this movie's assets are very likely purchased assets from various 3D stores, just animated in-house. While ordinarily this wouldn't be a huge problem, they aren't animated very well, which makes it all very obvious they aren't using their own assets.

I have to give them props for trying to incorporate the original Hans Christian Andersen story instead of remaking the Disney version. I always enjoyed the fact that in the original the princes fiance really does save him from the beach and is a nice person as opposed to Ursula transforming herself to a woman and mind controlling Eric. I even enjoy that they tried to incorporate the scene where the sisters go to the sea witch for help and give their hair as payment. That said it doesn't seem like they were incorporated well or in a well written movie which makes me sad because it h0ad potential

This movie, if it was made by AI, is honestly a perfect example as to why using actual artists is more beneficial for a project than using a computer to save money. Problem with AI is that there no passion or heart. A computer has no love for what it’s making. It just creates. And I can promise you that when you’re making an animated movie, tv show, or whatever, it will show. No one will watch a show if it’s just robotic and soulless.
