The Little Mermaid - Ursula's Death Evolution (1987 - 2023)

Фильм және анимация

another evolution video, this time of the scene where ursula dies! as you can tell, this scene evolved quite a bit to get to where it is now :)
Ursula: Pat Carroll (1987 - 1989), Cicily Daniels (2008), and Melissa McCarthy (2023)

    The reason why the first two endings were changed was because Jeffrey Katzenberg had went to see Die Hard and after watching the film he returned to the studio and saw the original endings and told the producers that the ending wasn’t big enough and plus Die Hard was a huge hit at the time and after watching the film he quoted more Die Hard

    No it wasn't. The ending was changed for not "being like die hard". In the original versions, Ariel did contribute to the fight more, but when Ursula grew giant someone had to distract her. Neither version fixes this issue because there's no way to fight giant Ursula without someone being helpless.

The live action remake is so-so, I am not a fan of Ariel killing Ursula and it makes no sense for her to be able to steer a vessel. It takes years of experience which she couldn't learn in the short time frame of being a human.

    15 күн бұрын

    In the Broadway version, the shell is given much more significance. Instead of just being an object used to hold Ariel's voice, it is the source of Usula's magic, and her life force is also tied to it. So, when Ariel destroys the shell, it kills Ursula. In some versions of the play, Ursula reveals that she did rule over all the oceans for a time. She killed her other siblings, except for Triton, and inherited both the trident and shell from her father Poseidon. However, when Triton comes of age, he takes the trident and rule of the oceans away from her, banishing her from the kingdom, and leaving her only with the shell.

    My only problem with the remake is the climax and ending. It was so overly feminist that it is ridiculous. I mean seriously? A mermaid steering a ship without a single lesson? Seriously. Here’s how I would have written the climax and ending. Ariel never actually finds out that Vanessa is really Ursula and she goes to the celebration to say goodbye to Eric. As Eric sees her leave, he realizes that even though she’s not the “one” she’s his true love. So he politely rejects Vanessa and confesses that he loves Ariel. Vanessa would try to stop him from trying to kiss her but Scuttle and Max would fight her. The sun still sets before they kiss and Ariel becomes a mermaid again and is taken prisoner by Ursula. The same swap is made with Triton, Eric comes to save Ariel, Flotsam and Jetsam get killed, and like in the original, Ursula tries to blast Ariel with the trident and Eric steers the ship into her. However instead of killing her, the ship only hurts and shocks Ursula into dropping the trident which Ariel uses to deliever the final blow. All that remains of the sea witch is her necklace which breaks and frees Ariel’s voice. She and her father reconcile and later he turns her human permanently (while giving her that sparkly dress) and she rises from the water singing a reprise of “Part of your World.” Thus making Eric see that she was the “one” after all.

    I just loved the ending fight of the live action I just don't understand how people didn't liked it, is just perfect, Ursula was scary and real, in real life a giant sea creature wouldn't move fucking fast like in the old movie and would speak fast, that was an animation, this is real life.. get over it guys. everything in the movie makes sense and only dumb people can't see this.
