Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid (as it is called in English) was released 14 years before the more popular and well-known adaptation made by Disney. Created by Toei Animation (the company responsible for anime like Dragonball and Sailor Moon), the film follows Marina, a mermaid princess who falls in love with Prince Justin, this anime film is not for younger kids. It follows the original tale more closely than Disney did, meaning the tragic ending is still in place, and the film has nudity that some parents may find inappropriate for their young children (especially since the mermaids are topless, with hair providing strategic censorship, especially when Marina turns into a human). So, this Little Mermaid is more for the older audience who outgrew Disney's adaptation and has at least read the original tale to know what it's really about.
Other than that, it is a good movie. The voice actors all do a good job, and the animation is beautiful. I recommend seeing this one.
