A Tale Reimagined
‘The Little Mermaid’ first captured hearts as an animated feature in 1989, where it diverged from the original Hans Christian Andersen fairytale to offer a more uplifting conclusion. Disney’s latest adaptation continues this tradition while infusing fresh elements into the narrative. The award-winning composer, Alan Menken, who contributed to the original soundtrack, collaborated with Lin-Manuel Miranda (known for ‘Encanto’ and ‘Hamilton’) to revamp the film’s iconic songs, ensuring they resonate with a new generation of audiences.
