I'm in my late 20s and I'm still a Disney Fan lol.
Back to facts:
In the original Little Mermaid story by Hans Christian Anderson. When the sea-witch transforms the Little Mermaid into a human, she cuts out Little Mermaid's tongue and fins to makes sure she is voiceless and when she walks on her new legs that she will forever feel the likeness of knives stabbing her legs.
When the prince marries another woman (thinking the other woman saves him), the little mermaid's sisters shave their heads and give their hair to the sea witch in return for a magical knife. Little mermaid if she so wishes could stab the prince to death and with his blood on her legs she can turn back into a mermaid and return to her old life. If she refuses then she has to die.
In the end Little Mermaid can not bring herself to kill the prince. She loves him to much to kill him and she jumps overboard his ship and turns into foam so she can be with him always. Her foam self floats into the air so she can be with God. (I think I like this story better then the Disney's happy ever after lol)
There is a beautiful adaption of this story in an anime from the 70s which stays faithful to the original story.
