Video is still processing, sorry about that but hey, at least you don't have to look at the movie in 1080p :)

Just to clarify, in the original book, the sisters of the little mermaid actually give their hair to the sea witch in order to save their sister.

This animation is so fucking uncanny, I still can't get over it. Horror game makers only wish they could create something this horrific.

[anacarolina]

Fun fact: "Sereia" is actually the Portuguese word for mermaid. So she's basically "Princess Mermaid", really love the creativity.

[MintYeng]

The plot of the villain is like: ''She's bald, she's bald and she's torturing people who have hair''

[usyugxs]

Ngl the woman who voices the sea witch did a great job. Her voice has a nice raspiness I'm addicted to listening to. I hope she gets more villian roles from actually good companies

[Alfie_chat]

I find it amazing how the asylum has never been sued

[amedotuniverse]

Ok, as bad as the movie is...


The twist of having the human prince turn into a mermaid so he and the little mermaid can be together is actually a pretty interesting idea. It's clearly not utilized well, but if written into a better ver. of this story, this might've been decent-

18:37 Her flopping on the ground like that absolutely sent me

"Anakin hated sand so much, he jumped on a boat, and never looked back"
Never will get over the Anakin hates sand jokes, they all are funny

I've animated 3-4 minute music videos before and let me tell you, doing an entire production on your own is not easy. This is actually quite impressive to me even if it isn't good. Props to him for doing all this on his own. He's definitely found a niche with these low-quality films, and it works. Those facial expressions are gold.

It’s called The Asylum because everyone who works there is criminally insane.

4:52 “You can throw me in a dungeon if you want, But it won’t change the out come of the spell!”
*turns into seagull*

[geardog]

This is exactly what I'd imagine a CGI Big Mouth movie would look like.

[ZorotheGallade]

So, about the hair thing.
In the original fairy tale, the Sea-Witch is more of a literal bargainer. She warns the mermaid that not only will her human feet hurt as if she was walking on needles the entire time, but if she can't make the prince fall in love with her her heart will literally break and her body will dissolve into sea foam.
When the prince starts falling in love with another woman, her sisters go to the sea witch and beg her for an out, giving their hair as compensation. In return the sea witch gives them a cursed dagger that will free the little mermaid from the spell if she kills the prince with it. However at the last moment she finds she can't go through with it, throws herself back into the ocean and dies.

Yeah, fairy tales.

It’s funny how the models aren’t even that bad for the humans/mermaids. They ALMOST look good.

[AlyaAdrianna-nktx]

The face are so uncanny... Maybe because the eyes aren't moving. The eyebrow moves, the mouth open and close, but the eyes stood still. No widening eyes out of shock and anger? No pupil dilated?

[lucillemurphy]

The worst part is the end result is better to me. The prince becoming a mermaid because he wanted a life of adventure and can do so with the princess seems like a great ending. It’s too bad it was brought to the table by asylum

[StrawberryBunnyBoba]

Something so funny to me that the mermaids are almost always shot above the waist, so you can’t even tell they’re mermaids

[sophiab]

The girl pretending to have saved the prince is definitely based off of Marinette from Miraculous Ladybug. Literally has the same color palette and is a fashion designer.
