Fun Facts of Movie

In order to cover the necessary camera tricks, and to add “magic” to the Little Mermaid ballet, it was decided that, rather than presenting it as an actual ballet, they would have Hans imagine how it would look. This allowed them to do things on the screen which would be impossible on the stage.
