    Wow I like this ending because it's sweet, and it gives Triton an epiphany, you know when he says, "This human saved my life", it shows that he sees Ariel's point, that not all humans are bad.

      I feel it would have been so much stronger if Eric had also been transformed into a Merman.
      It could have given some good scenes between Triton and Eric, maybe even a kind of father to son moments where Triton could show his love for Eric, like the son he never received and perfect acceptance of him as a member of his family. Sigh.... I wish there had been some scene where Triton and Eric could have such a love scene :(

      I prefer the final version's dialogue because it focuses more on his relationship to his daughter which is more important than what he thinks of Eric. In the final version its clear that he is doing it because he loves her.

    I really love this version, it’s so beautiful that we have Triton saying to Ariel ‘it’s alright sweetheart [...]’; that simple line really shows the power of a parent’s unconditional love to show forgiveness to a child. I feel this scene is even more powerful because we see not just a parent’s forgiveness but most importantly a father’s forgiveness. Also having Ariel gain her voice back in this way has so much gravitas.

    @Rtotalmagic 9 років тому +2643

    I think this ending is superior to the chosen one. The majority of criticism aimed at TLM is based on the belief that Ariel lacks a character arc - she makes an awful mistake, but other people fix it for her and she gets a happy ending without needing to apologise. By having her contribute directly to Ursula's defeat, and giving her a proper apology scene, this draft rectifies these problems.
    Furthermore, the fact Ariel does not get her voice back until after Ursula's defeat means that Eric is fighting for her because he loves her for who she is, and not merely because she is the girl with the beautiful voice who saved his life. That completes his character growth as well, and allows him to be more interesting.
    Whilst the chosen ending is spectacular, this one provides greater depth and is therefore superior.

Them having a moment together is very precious.

    After seeing this alternate ending deleted scene, they should added what King Triton said. Added Triton's lines that says. "That human saved my life, Ariel's life and your life Sebastian. He saved all of our lives." Sebastian agrees with him. "Yes. Yes he sure did your Majesty." Then Triton and Sebastian see Ariel looking sad. Triton then says to Sebastian. "She really does love him. Doesn't she Sebastian?"
    Sebastian replies. "Well it's like I always say your Majesty. Children have got to be free to lead their own life." Surprised Triton says. "You always say that?" Nervous Sebastian uses body language to say. "Yes. Please don't feel offended." Triton sighs. "Then I suppose there's only one thing left to accept." Sebastian asks. "And what is that?" Triton answers. "How much I'm going to miss her." I mention how I feel because I think it would have been nice to see Triton finally acknowledging that not all humans are bad.

    Oddly, this seems much more epic than the final version. Ariel manages to beat the crap out of Ursula, she gets thrown onto a rock, Eric runs for his life as Ursula tries to catch him, he stomps one of her tentacles with a rock and finally blasts her with the trident just like a sniper's headshot. Then the producers read The Call of Chtulhu and we got the seafood shibkebab sequence...which still turns Eric into a badass, since he brings down a 150 foot Kraken with nothing but the bowsprit of a sunken ship.

    There are a lot of little details I wish were kept for the final version of the film:
    * Triton having his own character arc created by acknowledging that a human, Eric, saved him and his daughter. We saw moments throughout the film where he second-guessed his actions and choices, and those are vindicated by this moment.
    * Sebastian directly contributing to the victory by retrieving the trident and handing it to Eric. It gives him a full arc from his initial refusal to help Ariel early in the film.
    * Ariel trying to fight Ursula after pulling her hair to make her miss Eric and hit her pet eels.
    * The dramatic irony that Eric slays Ursula with the very trident she had coveted for its power over the sea.
    * Ariel having a moment to apologize to her father for throwing away her common sense and trusting Ursula.
    * Jodi Benson singing the Reprise of Part of Your World, bringing Ariel's arc through the song to full completion.

      BUT the fact that Eric still went after Ariel and risked drowning and strangulation by Ursula’s tentacles for her is TRUE LOVE if I ever saw it.
      I don’t buy the feminist complaint that “The Little Mermaid” teaches girls to change themselves so the boys could like you.
      Ariel wanted to be human PRIOR to meeting Eric.
      Even when her true mermaid identity was revealed to Eric, it didn’t change how he felt about her.
      When Ariel was kidnapped by Ursula and forced back into the ocean, Eric still went after Ariel and risked his life to save her under the sea.

    Here's my take on the ending:
    Ultimately I think the ending in the finished film works perfectly fine. It's very cinematic and it establishes just how powerful Ursula is with the Trident. And I love the dialogue between Sebastian and Triton right before he turns Ariel human. Also, I adore the choral reprise of "Part of Your World" at the end, it really harkens back to the Disney movies of yore. It also makes a lot more sense to have Ariel regain her voice before the battle. It gives Eric a stronger motivation to try and save her.
    What I do really like in this version though is how violent it is. It really feels like an intense two sided struggle, whereas the final version basically resolves via Deus Ex Sunken Ships. It almost plays out like the climax of a horror film. It's debatable whether or not Ariel is actually more active in this original climax, since here she doesn't redirect Ursula's aim at the eels and she's knocked unconscious halfway through the battle, but I like how she engages directly with Ursula more than in the final ending. I also love Ariel's emotional apology and Triton's acceptance. If that was given more room to breathe it could have been so powerful. And even though I don't think it works as well, good LORD Jodi Benson sounds so damn gorgeous singing that reprise.
    The perfect ending is somewhere between the two. Both have their pros and cons. I hope for the live action version they can have a good synthesis of the two and maybe have Ariel play a legitimate active role.

I’m sure Emma Watson thinks her version of Belle is stronger, but she’s flat as a pancake (and takes all of poor Maurice’s personality away too). Fingers crossed though for a remake with more of an emphasis on her anthropology passion instead of “don’t need no man, except maybe I do”.

    The fight here feels more intense than what we got with the final product. The final does have Ursula's absolute power and size mixed with Ariel's helplessness and Eric's desperation, but because of the size and power difference, it doesn't feel as much of a struggle as waiting for the right opportunity and timing. With the deleted scene, not only do we see Ariel fight back (more than just a hair-pull) and see her get legitimately injured, but Ursula chasing Eric with her tentacles is legit intense as she becomes a feral monster as opposed to an all-powerful sea-goddess. And let's face it, being strangled and drowned is a much more gruesome fate than being magic blasted. Along with Sebastion helping out more and Ursula getting killed by the power she wanted (the trident), I feel like this was a much more fulfilling final fight. In essence, this and the official ending is like comparing a big monster boss fight to a 1v1 boss fight; the big monster fight has the scale and the spectacle but the 1v1 has the intensity and personal rivalry come to a head.

He can trust this one human to protect his precious daughter. It would complete his story arc of being a human-hating, over-protective father in every way.

    @nyxitylee2094 7 років тому +63

    I definitely prefer this one. The fight is so much more intricate and requires so many players. The added suspense by adding Ariel into the mix of Triton and Eric is great, too. What really gets me is that Ariel actually tells her father she is sorry in a far better manner (in the chosen take it comes off more like she is afraid of getting in trouble for all the mess she made rather than sincere remorse - when you pair it to how many kids saw the destruction of her grotto scene...) and that she never meant to hurt him - shame it wasn't more tearful, though...
    From the original tale by Christian Anderson and Disney's take on the story, I have always found the character of the little mermaid to be incredibly selfish because there is almost never any mention of her thinking about her family. Sure, there is that one moment in this movie where she does pause and think of how she'll never be with her father or sisters again, but it was immediately clouded over when Ursula notes "but you'll have your man".
    Both versions, however, she spends her time completely immersed in the prince without sparing a thought of what her family is going through. She leaves them without a trace and all the time she is gone they are worrying like mad over her and has the whole kingdom searching for her whereabouts - and the worst, deepest fear that she might be missing because she is dead is likely in the back of all their minds.

      ​@@alexp.d3689 Ah, thank you for the reply. It spurred me into reading the tale again. Most of my life must have been spent reading an abridged version, because what I am reading now certainly has details that I do not find particularly familiar.
      Nevertheless, my views remain. She may spare a thought for them, but she is so dead set on living as a human and gaining an immortal soul she never stops to consider all the pain and grief she will cause her family - who obviously loves her dearly. In some ways it is worse in the original tale, because she actually sees what her family is going through over losing her. (I haven't read anything about her washing blood from her feet and her actually talking to her sisters, though.)
      Anyway, as it goes... she left the night of a great festivity, went straight to the sea witch, made the deal and abandoned the family that adores her as well as her own kind. She leaves them completely in the dark when she disappears and it is only by fortune her sisters actually know of the prince's palace and eventually think to search for her there. (I never read anything about her washing blood from her feet or of her "talking" with them.)
      After that she sees what her decisions have led to. They had been worriedly searching for her all that time, are sick with grief and mourn over her, but she shows no remorse. She just smiles at them in hopes that they know she is happy. Really... I just feel sorry for her family more than I do for her.

    interesting how a couple of ursula's voice clips were used for the final cut in a different part of the movie; the laugh at 0:33 seems to have been pasted onto the end of poor unfortunate souls when ariel gets turned into a human underwater, while the scream at 3:38 and the oh's after it were pitched down with reverb for when she gets stabbed with a bowsprit instead. it's cool to see how they took some things and edited or rearranged them for the final cut.

    I absolutely love this version (almost a bit better then the original released one) but the thing I did like was that in the og Eric stabs Ursula in the gut with a huge boat instead of just the Trident and both are really climatic but the Boat just “hits” differently if you get my drift, but yes I love how everything else seemed more intense when it was the battle like when Ursula was pulling Ariel’s hair & drowning Eric (along with its music choices too) it was so crazy! I also love how sweet the ending was as it sort of made up for its intensity from the beginning, the whole part with Sebastian changing from a grumpy crustacean to a sweet helper as he gave Eric the trident was so humble, the parts with Ariel actually apologizing as well as King Trident realizing that not all humans are bad was even sweeter but to top it all off just that ending with the marriage, singing & even too how Sebastian doesn’t get hit but the knife as the chef was cutting the cake was ahh just so adorable and in general funny and ofc sweet all together! Just loved it! 👏🥹

  • @Dr_Z3us

    I literally teared up when Sebastian helped Eric with the trident. Sebastian was so against Ariel having anything to do with the human world, so for him to help Eric in his moment of weakness shows such a profound level of strength that would have added a heartfelt emotional effect to his character. I love the way the movie is, but this ending would have been superior.

    Apart from the colossal Ursula being more threatening, this is a superior climactic battle and ending than the theatrical. It has far more depth and satisfies the film's dire need for moral.
    Ariel has essentially no identity or growth because she's never held responsible or has to reconcile for her actions leaving her very flat as a character, a problem that was created by this change.
    Here, she actively faces Ursula and fights to undo the damage she's caused and offers her father a more heartfelt and astute apology than the more forced one in the theatrical that she cries in distress as she's being restrained by the eels.
    As a result of the restoration of Ariel's voice being prolonged until Ursula's death rather than the pulling of the plug on her Vanessa scam, Eric is more genuine as in this case, he fought for someone he cared for as a person, someone real not just a beautiful voice that for all intents and purposes was just a fantasy.
    My favorite part is Tritan saying, "That human saved my life". That's a far better revelation than "She really does love him, doesn't she Sebastian?" It not only adds character growth by evolving his belief system rather than being merely conceding but has him acknowledging his mistakes as well.

    I think people have to remember that Ariels mom, Tritons queen, was killed by humans. This is why he is so protective of his daughters and want them to stay away from the humans. But in this scene for the first time Triton sees that humans can do good, and that all humans aren’t bad in the same way that all sea folk aren’t good (ursula). Eric sees Ariels true form abd isn’t appalled but instead still loves her enough to risk his life for her and defeat Ursula. It’s such a powerful scene, really wish they kept all of it

  • @iycrm4583

    I really wish they did this version. My life after watching this deleted scene will never be the same again. In a way I can understand because this happens to be more intense and Ursula trying to drown Eric, he stabs her with the trident. The boat scene was pretty epic but I think this one is better. A lot of people are saying that they're happy that Ariel is apologizing and taking responsibility, but King Triton doesn't apologize and doesn't take responsibility on his end. I've noticed while watching a lot of The Little Mermaid movies and series that Triton doesn't tell Ariel that he loves her to face or with newest one he apologized once. He express so much with actions that doesn't fit in his words the way he would want them. He is typical male that is shy with words than with showing his affections or emotional feeling. He showed remorse for his face when he destroyed her grotto with absolutely regret, he's desperate days of hoping that Ariel will come back home safe, but here is where his apologize comes in. Even though he has six other daughters and his kingdom. A man who isn't sorry from the depth of his heart wouldn't have given up his everything including his own soul to Ursula just to save her for damned fate. That to me was his apologize. And Ariel so young, desperate, and naive thought the only way she's really hurting her father and hers sisters that worse is that they will never see her again. She didn't see the consequence of her loved ones and the world being in physical danger. She meant the consequences to be hers alone. Her apologies so sincerely and her father so happy to reunited with her nothing else matters and they both reconciled in the most beautiful way. I wish that show this dymanic of Triton and Ariel with such depth in a simple scene.

Ariel and Triton hug each other as reconcile their family relationship for one another making amends and as Triton said to her "it's alright." That he still loves her and knows why she has to deal with ursula just to live her life freely in her new home on land with Eric because she couldn't live with herself being in a cage in his hands as a prisoner of his will before he saw Ariel on a rock at the shore looking at Eric finally sees this that he can trust good human people like Eric since he saved ariel's life and his life even shows Eric and Ariel really love each other beyond their backgrounds

I liked ursula drowning eric and sebastian handing him the trident but the trident thing doesn’t make sense because obviously that’s all she wanted so she’d be clinging to it as soon as she could. I love her getting huge and the ship scene though with all the ships around ariel. i hope the live action is an amalgamation of the two. I also wish triton would’ve gone with the “human saved my life” line instead of the “she really does love him” because that kinda helps minimize ariels entire dilemma.

    I think what makes this ending more interesting to me is that it avoids the Deus Ex Machina trope of Ursula being hit by lightning exactly as Eric spears her with the sharp point of the broken wood from the ship. This rough version definitely needs a bit of cleaning up but I find it a bit more believable than the "Make My Monster....Grooooowwww!" style one we got. I think the best version lies somewhere between this and the one that they actually went with.

      She never even considered that Eric would have the willpower to board a ship and impale her, because she didn't understand the power of love. She was undone by her own arrogance and lack of foresight.

The two or three seconds following the time stamp above occurs immediately when Prince Eric steers the ship's broken mast into Ursula and she's simultaneously struck by lightning.
