It's so sad how the prince only cared for the Mermaid's beauty. I think he's the one who told the guards to threw her in the ocean after she became a fish
@@mynameisnotallowedinlife1339 you see the problem is he didn’t look scared, just downright disgusted. his expression was fulled with hatred and judgement.
OMG SHE DIDNT TURN BACK TO A REALLY SCALY MERMAID, SHE TURNS INTO A LITERAL FISH 💀 I couldn’t see very clearly since there’s a lot of black in the actual video, the storyboard and source qmeng really helped those who didn’t understand what was happening from the original video(a lot of black stuff covering things so ppl might’ve not see or know what’s going on on the screen). Thanks for sharing this 😁
As you can see from storyboard animation at the end shot with witch holding her she turned back into a mermad having only portion of her torso left human but with scales on her now webbed hands and fish-like hell scary head. In other words she turns into a sea monster
It's flipping the concept of mermaid on it's head. I think the witch intended for the mermaid to turn back into a mermaid so she would return to the sea, but the witch's jealousy/hate made the curse too strong and turned her fully into a fish. Think about the reverse-mermaid; fish head and human legs, except it's fish head and fish tail.
It's interesting how the mermaid had red hair in the storyboard, then was changed to having blue hair in the final video. I guess her having red hair would make it too obvious that the story was based on the little mermaid
i feel like its more of: The witch falls inlove with the little mermaid but the little mermaid falls in love with the prince, and now the witch hates her because of that. But i think vivinos's work is always up for interpretation!
@@IDKwhoIamEither it’s more like the witch wants to stay with her forever in death; they’re holding hands in the last scene, but the witch is a skeleton and the mermaid is a monstrous fish, both presumably dead
idk if anyone thought the ending was scary and sad i was pretty much scared and sad when the fish eye was closer to the camera and the way she transformed into a fish scared the heck outta me
The witch at the bottom of the ocean fell in love with the little mermaid. The mermaids desire to go above the ocean was granted by the witch, but the mermaid soon fell in love with the prince. The witch, struck with jealousy (?) turns the mermaid into a fish so she can live with her forever
Don't get me wrong, The animation is so freaking beautiful. It's just that, the storyboard caught me of guard when they used pictures as a reference. I can't help but laugh.😂😂
was very nice to watch this... to be honest, it was very hard to make out what was happening on the screen because of all the effects, so i can now understand the story now that i saw this!
I love the imagery of the animation. And the small details that was in the story like the witch’s hair moving like the patches of seaweed. Or the pupil of the mermaid’s eye shifting into a different color. And the music is so beautiful 🤩!
I have to commend you for animating this piece of art. Very inspiring that you have driven yourself to animate this in ae. Props to you man you got a sub since VIVINOS is my favorite channel for watching animation that tackles heavy themes and you just aced the animation with passion!
So, do you guys see the subtle smirking lady during the mermaid’s transformation at 1:27 to the left? It looks like the eye looks to the top left, and has a sort of smirking lip face. It kind of looks like the face from 0:40
