November 17, 1989. 4 min read. Walt Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” is a jolly and inventive animated fantasy – a movie that’s so creative and so much fun it deserves comparison with the best Disney work of the past. It’s based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince, but the Disney animators have added a gallery of new supporting characters, including an octopus named Ursula who is their most satisfying villainess since the witch in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
