"I bought this because the reviews visible at the time said that this was the original animated version - the one with the sad ending.
The first thing I did when I got the movie was skip to the end to see if it was the right version. It's not. The mermaid and the prince get married, and the king makes a little speech about ending evil pollution.
It's probably a good movie, but I'm so disappointed that it's not the one I was hoping and searching for that I can't bring myself to watch it."
This is not the original story

"If you purchase this DVD expecting to get the original version of the story (which has a sad ending, as opposed to the Disney version), you will be seriously disppointed, as was I. This movie is only 41 minutes long and does not have the original ending by Hans Christian Anderson. It is a cute enough cartoon, but basically a shortened Disney version, and not at all what I had expected."
The Original Story of The Little Mermaid

"It was very good animated movie when i last watch it although it's not very long. It gives you a veiw of the orginal story of Hans Christian Anderson. It's a very sad story but it's defintely worth watching.The begining of the story is the same as Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid but the end is more tragic. I won't tell you about it because it will spoil the story."
Not very pleased.

"The movie is quite short, has a happy ending, and an enviromental message. Nothing really seems to pace well, the animation is choppy, and the voices are not what I would call enjoyable. This is more chopped up then the Disney version, and much sappier. I perfer the Little Mermaid (UAV Corporation) version MUCH better, ASIN: B00005QW6Q
Dont' let the crummy box art fool you; the UAV version is a vintage animation with delightful animation and the original ending."

"Wrong version, was searching for an older version where the little mermaid dies. This is not that version!!!!
