The “Mermaid Princess” Storybook (Part 2c): Echoes of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”: The Storybook Title
Posted by PokerNemesis in Plot Structure & StoryThere is a Japanese animated movie with the title: “Andasen dôwa ningyo-hime”. This is said (at Wikipedia) to translate as “Andersen’s Story: The Mermaid Princess”. “Ningyo” is the word for mermaid or merman, and “hime” is the word for princess. This “Mermaid Princess” title matches the title used for the Rule of Rose storybook, and so I think this constitutes an additional link between the Andersen fairy tale and the Rule of Rose storybook.
You can watch an English dubbed version of the above mentioned Japanese animated movie, in 8 parts, at YouTube:
