Adventures of the Little Mermaid is an animated series produced by Fuji Television in the early 1990s, based on upon the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Little Mermaid.
This 26-episode TV series was originally a Japanese/French co-production created by Jean Chalopin and directed by Takehiro Miyano. The title of the series in Japan was Ningyo Hime Marina no Boken, and the series was broadcast on Japan's Fuji TV network from February to July 1991. As in the 1975 feature-length movie version produced by Toei, Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, the mermaid protagonist was drawn as a blonde in this version and given the name Marina. It also added a new ingredient to the story: a magic potion given to the prince with which he could use to breathe underwater and be with Marina.
Released in America for Saturday morning and weekday afternoon syndication by Saban Entertainment in the summer of 1991, the series wasn't nearly as popular as Disney's version and faded quickly.

The Little Mermaid
In this Japanese/French anime series, we follow the many adventures of Marina, who first wanted to be human under "Hedwig" the sea hag's spell. After her spell breaks, due to a snotty princess going after Prince Justin, Anselm the wise man and his wise otter, Ridley tells him the whole story and gives him tonic, so he can explore underwater. There, we hear the legend about a golden scroll that can change mermanoids to humans and live forever and also to re-unite humans and mermanoids. But the problem is, Hedwig and her ditsy shark friend, Dudley are going after them, no matter where they go. But if that's not enough, a spoiled nobleman wants to exploit the mermanoid folks. Will Marina and her friends fight the odds?
