When Ghibli & Disney Adapted The Same Story

This video examines the evolution of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' and its cultural reinterpretations worldwide. It compares Andersen’s original tale—a Christian allegory about the pursuit of an immortal soul through good deeds—with Disney's 1980s adaptation, which emphasizes individual desire, self-fulfillment, and a happily ever after ending. Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo is also featured, offering a modern Japanese perspective on environmentalism, unconditional love, and restoring harmony through understanding rather than conflict. The video highlights differences in father figures, the protagonists’ sacrifices, and the cultural values reflected in each version of these timeless stories.
