Disney's The Little Mermaid remake opened with a quote from Hans Christian Andersen, and it foreshadowed the emotional ending added to Ariel's story.

The 2023 The Little Mermaid remake opened with a quote from writer Hans Christian Andersen's original story, and it perfectly foreshadowed an impactful change made to Ariel's ending. Andersen is the author of the Little Mermaid tale, which differs significantly from the animated version by Disney released in 1989.

Not only did the 2023 The Little Mermaid remake include the "but mermaids have no tears" quote, but the film followed through on Andersen's sentiment by ensuring that Ariel never shed a tear while she was still technically a mermaid. Though the animated film showed her crying after her father destroyed her treasure trove, she only lay on the sea floor in silent sorrow in the remake. When she later believed Prince Eric had chosen to marry another girl, no tears were in sight.

The fact that this concept came directly from Hans Christian Andersen made it even better. Disney's The Little Mermaid faced a lot of backlash for its casting, and changes in live-action remakes are often criticized for tarnishing the original story for the sake of needless drama or societal sensitivity. However, this particular change was made to make Disney's version of The Little Mermaid more true to Andersen's tale and, in the end, meant a far more poetic story.
