This week we're taking a look at Toei Animation's The Little Mermaid, a re-telling of the classic Hans Christian Anderson story that beat Disney to the punch by a little over 10 years. It also beats you with a couple of punches straight to the gut with an ending that's true to the original story (AKA, extremely sad). Join us as we discuss our favourite odd character designs, the failed romance of the mermaid and her prince, and most importantly of all: Jemmy the talking cat.
