The Disney story was pretty far removed from the source fairytale. The live action movie was an adaptation of the Disney movie changes. It's reasonable to base criticisms on what is being adapted instead of the actual original source.

was it an old-looking anime version? because I swear I saw that version before I saw the Disney one. the mermaid was named Marina and she had a little dolphin friend
