Netflix generally has few interesting things to watch most of the time. I got super bored one day and decided to try this movie out. I thought, Disney makes some pretty cool movies, and live action remakes are usually better than the first animated one. So I said, why not, here we go. But if I had to rate this movie on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a 2.
The plot wasn't the same, the other characters weren't the same, AND HER NAME WASN'T EVEN THE SAME!! Like, why Elizabeth?? I was so confused. Apparently a flippen wizard gave her legs in exchange for her SOUL, not her voice. Then she couldn't find true love so she was locked up in a circus (??). Then comes a girl who has asthma and something called "a heart of a mermaid"... (whatever that is... which we never found out) and her uncle. Then uncle falls in love with her with ELIZABETH the circus mermaid. And then there's this weird wolf dude and a creepy fortune teller lady. and then at the end ELIZABETH takes the daughter for a swim and she is magically healed from her asthma somehow. And at the very end ELIZABETH is all like bye Felecia, and the true love of my life that I JUST MET, and she swims away and leaves them!! But isn't true love the thing that she wanted legs for in the first place? Why is she leaving them?????
Anyway, I hope this was helpful and saved you guys from not watching this movie. And if for some odd reason you still want to watch it, DON'T DO IT.
