About this episode

The episode discusses the 1992 Golden Films version of The Little Mermaid, comparing it to Disney's adaptation.

Happy Mermay everyone!.. or rather, we hope everyone had a good Mermay, because I goofed the recording schedule and this episode is going up in June. But we're not letting my inability to read a calendar get in the way of us taking at look at Golden Films' The Little Mermaid. Sure, it's not as well animated as Disney's version, and it's story is not as well plotted, and it's characters aren't as interesting, but... well it's certainly shorter than the Disney version, so that's something, right? Come join us as we discuss (among other things) sea witches who are just in it for the love of the grift, a dolphin confused about his own biology, and for some reason Oscar-nominated actor Graham Greene.
