The mermaids in this film were much more beautiful than Ariel and her sisters.
Just saying.
(Although funnily enough, one of the less-attractive mermaids in this movie does look a bit like Ariel.)
Yes, but they were mean people (or mer-people)! At least Ariel had a heart of gold.

These mermaids did seem to have anger, jealousy and resentment issues.
"We were only trying to drown her..."
They acted more like traditional mermaids from lore in Peter Pan. I thought the mermaids in The Little Mermaid were too friendly. Mermaids from old stories are beautiful, but their goal is usually to lure sailors to their death through drowning (like Wendy). I thought they were more realistic.. well I mean for magical creatures; I realize mermaids aren't real.
As far as looks, I like the mermaids in Peter Pan better than Ariel. She's too skinny. Ariel's sister that has the red tail is prettier than the Neverland mermaids, though.
