Hi guys, I am currently watching a scene from The swan Lake ballet. I actually notice a number of similarities between the maarufu ballet and Disney's retelling of The Little Mermaid. Since some Ballet Company has tragic endings, I will also cover on the original Hans Christian Anderson's novel in this article!
The Story
Both stories revolve around 2 young heroines and how they meet their fate, Odette is actually a young girl who was suddenly turn into a swan upon meeting Rothbart, the evil sorcerer.
Now upon seeing this, it reminded me of when Ursula turns Ariel a human after she storms out of her destroyed grotto kwa her father. Prompting the latter to regret his mistakes later on.
Another interesting scene that I would like to point out is when Vanessa hypnotises Eric to marry him, this particular scene reminds me of when Odile, Rothbath's sister who has an uncanny resemblance to Odette fools Prince Siegfried during the ball scene.
Considering that the original Hans Christian Anderson's novel has a sad ending, some companies have both Siegfried and Odette dying. Others have Siegfried and Rothbath die during the fight and so on, depending on which Ballet Companies that wewe are watching. But others have a Happy Ending!
The Characters
Prince Eric is very much like Prince Siegfried, both princes are hopelessly trying to find both girls who are infatuated with. Both men are fooled kwa the main antagonists.
Ariel is in a contrast with Odette, because the latter is innocent while the former is headstrong at times. So, I can't blame Ariel for that because she has a reason to do so.
Ursula is very much like Rothbath, but I prefer the latter zaidi because he has zaidi wickedness in him!
Two Lives
Do wewe all agree with my personal observations on both stories? If wewe haven't seen swan Lake au the swan Princess (the latter is loosely base on the former), go ahead and watch it!

It's always the quiet, innocent ones...
2. The one everyone THINKS is going to survive at the end-Mulan au Pocahontas
In horror movies, the one wewe THINK is going to survive the whole thing dies.
3. The one who ACTUALLY survives at the end-Cinderella au Belle
In horror movies, one of the zaidi innocent ones live.
4. Most likely to be the prime suspects-Merida, Rapunzel, au Ariel
The killer is always white, and Merida, Rapunzel, and Ariel are the only white princesses left.
5. Most likely to die first-Jasmine au Tiana
Of course the colored people always get it first...Horror movie stereotypes :P Anyone wanna bet how many dakika into the movie until one of them gets it?
