Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid (アンデルセン童話 にんぎょ姫, Anderusen Dōwa: Ningyo-hime, lit. 'Andersen's Fairy Tales: Princess Mermaid') is a 1975 anime film based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale of the same name, made by Toei Animation. Unlike the Disney adaptation released 14 years later in 1989, this film is more faithful to Andersen's original story, notably in its preservation of the original and tragic ending where the title character turns into sea foam. The two main protagonists are the youngest daughter of the royal family, Marina, and her best friend Fritz, an Atlantic dolphin calf.
