Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid is a 1975 Japanese anime film directed by Tomoharu Katsumata, based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Animated by Toei Animation, this film is close to Andersen's story, notably in its preservation of the original and tragic ending. The two main protagonists are the youngest daughter of the royal family, Marina, and her best friend Fritz, an Atlantic dolphin calf. In Japan, the film was shown in the Toei Manga Matsuri on 21 March 1975.
