6 Vintage Mermaid-Films You Need To See!

If I don't see the prince, I'm going to die! We are all familiar with the beloved Disney Classic, but can you call yourself a true fin if you haven't seen the old goodies? You get it? Fin... Fan.. It was funny.

1. Rusalochka (1976)

A truly sad and beautiful film, that deserves a watch! And for those of you who like to photoshop Ariel into a punk queen.. This mermaid has already got her bluegreen hair.

2. La Sirene (1904)

"A man in a silk top hat stands in front of an empty aquarium. He pours water into his hat and goes fishing, hooking a small one. He becomes a hobo and catches more and more fish from the hat. Then he starts pulling out rabbits. The backdrop becomes the sea, and a mermaid appears. She flirts and beguiles us. The mermaid becomes a woman who leaves the sea and joins the magician, who becomes Neptune."

So yeah... And all of this happens in only four minutes!

3. Mr. Peabody and The Mermaid (1948)

If you love mermaids, comedy, and cheesy, romantic, vintage music, this one's definitely for you!

A man goes on a vacation with his wife, he catches a mermaid and romance ensues...

4. Malá morská víla (1976)

Just like Rusalochka, this is an adaptation of H.C. Andersen's story. The little mermaid finds her prince and rescues him from drowning, and then makes a deal with the evil sorceress. It seems to work at first, but not even her father can save her from the impending catastrophe...

Still not sure? If anything, at least watch it for the beautiful costumes!

5. Miranda (1948)

So, we have another man going away on a vacation! Guess what he finds during his stay... Did you say "a mermaid (because this post is all about mermaid movies)"? You're right!

This time not only romance, but also jealousy ensues, because of the mermaid's mermaid charm.

6. Queen of The Sea (1918)

So there's this mermaid Queen, Merilla, who finds out that if she saves four human lives, then she can have a mortal human body with an immortal soul. Now, isn't that great? I think so, don't you? The Master of Storms, King Boreas, on the other hand, really doesn't think it's great at all. She is captured, and the rest... Well, see for yourself.

Okay, there's a handsome Prince involved as well, enough spoilers.
