I’ve heard about those Grimm brothers tales. Man, talk about dark. It’s so interesting that Disney was able to sanitize them the way they have and did. I have not read the original Little Mermaid but I am familiar with what happens since it was mentioned in a book I recently finished. I am not a big fiction reader but when I do read it, I want to read something I believe can happen and not with the overdone endings. I like a little bit of darkness or better yet ambiguity. I like that in film too.
