Hi guys, I am currently watching a scene from The cisne Lake ballet. I actually notice a number of similarities between the popular 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 cisne 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 por 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 you 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 por 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 mais because he has mais wickedness in him!
Two Lives
Do you all agree with my personal observations on both stories? If you haven't seen cisne Lake or the cisne Princess (the latter is loosely base on the former), go ahead and watch it!

Childhood Sweethearts
Okay, this was my first reason on why Gaston insists on marrying Belle. The fact that he comes from an arrogant and snobbish family, he has this arrogance stuck in his head and Belle initially thought him as handsome from young until they grew up that Belle saw the light in him that he has a supersized ego and grew out of it!
Arrogance!
As mentioned, Gaston has a supersized ego due to his body build thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger! He reminds me of a High School bully or Brom bones from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Speaking of him, maybe Brom bones and Gaston are cousins or close friends!
Do you Agree?
Another disney Doppelganger moment, do you agree that Brom bones and Gaston are relatives or close friends or is it???
