Attachment 23140

The Little Mermaid is an American fantasy drama film based on the novel of the same title written by Hans Christian Andersen. The film, which is a Netflix original film, was directed and written by Blake Harris. The Little Mermaid stars Willian Moseley, Loreto Peralta Instruction Not Included / No Se Aceptan Devoluciones (2013), Poppy Drayton, Armanda Guiterrez, and several other supporting players. The film was released in the United States on August 17, 2018.

This one hour and twenty-five minute film tells the story of an uncle, Cam Horrison (William Moseley), and a young nephew, Elle (Loreto Peralta), who must travel for a week to Mississippi to find a place where Healing Water is located. or healing water to treat Elle who had an illness. That place is in a circus place and is owned by someone named Dr. Locke (Armando Guiterrez). Cam is a young reporter who doesn't believe in mermaids. He believes that a mermaid is just a fairy tale. Even when he and Elle came to Dr. Locke, who showed a mermaid in a large glass tank, said that it was a cheap trick to trick the audience. Unlike Cam, Elle immediately believes that mermaids are real and not a trick.

While Cam and Elle are taking a walk around the forest near where they are staying, they meet a beautiful human mermaid named Elizabeth (Poppy Drayton). In a full robe with a head covering, Elizabeth hurriedly walked away when Cam asked her a few things. As a reporter, Cam looks for interesting stories to tell. As originally intended, he came to see Dr. Locke to ask about the Healing Water and grazed the mermaid he showed off in his show. Instead of getting an answer, Dr. Locke actually looks very objectionable and rejects the question about mermaids. Cam suspected that something was hidden from Dr. Locke and about Elizabeth. Secretly he finds out when the circus closes and finally finds out that Elizabeth the mermaid has been a prisoner for life that is used by Dr. Locke for his circus show.

The storyline of The Little Mermaid back and forth. The film's story has the concept of a grandmother with her two grandchildren. Seeing the title, this film looks like a Disney film. But with a light and simple story, this film is not at all like a Disney movie. However, there are very few parts that are similar to typical Disney films. The film The Little Mermaid is a film that can be watched by all ages or for those who like fantasy drama films with light stories.

One simple line that is said by Cam Harriosn at the end of the story: "All that matters is what you do."

No, this isn't a Disney movie. This film came out also not following the release of 'Beauty and the Beast', played by Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.

Adapted from the story of 'The Little Mermaid' by Hans Christian Andersen, this live action film is different from the animated film 'The Little Mermaid' which was released in 1989. In this film, the main character is focused on two humans, namely Cam Harrison (William Moseley) and his younger brother, Elle (Loreto Peralta).

Judging from the trailer, which until now has received more than 7 million views, Harrison who works as a young journalist invites his younger brother to go to the circus. There, there is a new attraction, namely a mermaid found in the Mississippi river, United States. Somewhat different from the classic story 'The Little Mermaid', the mermaid known as Elizabeth wants to escape the clutches of humans. Reported by the Mirror, he did not want to be in the spotlight at a circus show. For that, he asked for help from Harrison and Elle to save him.

Many peoples think this film is a film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. This assumption seems understandable, knowing 'The Little Mermaid' is one of Disney's best-selling animated films besides 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Aladdin'.

It seems that the mermaid story in this film will be much more complex than the story of Ariel in the animated film 'The Little Mermaid'. In the film, Ariel deliberately changes her voice in order to unite with Prince Eric as a human. Elizabeth also traded her soul in this film. However, it is not yet known what caused Elizabeth to switch her soul. , she realized she had been framed by the man who caught her. There are similarities between Elizabeth and Ariel. Both of them had beautiful voices. You can hear Elizabeth singing in the trailer for the film. In addition, Elle also revealed that he had seen the underwater kingdom near the end of the trailer. So, the palace called Atlantica will likely appear in the film.

This live-action film directed by Blake Harris is not a sequel or remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989) although both are inspired by the legendary book by H.C. Andersen. The plot of the story is no longer about the love story of a mermaid and a handsome prince but about a child's belief in the existence of a mermaid, although there was a story about a romantic relationship between the reporter and the mermaid, but it was not the main plot and was depicted in only one scene.
The rhythm of the story flows lightly following a simple story plot, there are no big emotional upheavals that color the story conflicts so that all conflicts seem to be resolved without presenting a shocking effect. The battle between Cam and Locke also seems to be made easy and instant, so it doesn't give you curiosity, as well as the story of the magic water being resolved just like that without any explanation where the magic water came from.

However, I think that with such an easy story plot it can be easily followed by child viewers because the story does not become heavy and is suitable as an entertainment film for the whole family to watch.
