In the original story by Hans Christian Andersen not only does she sacrifice her voice for a man but every step she takes on her human feet is like walking on sharp razor blades and in the end the prince chooses the other woman (its not actually the witch in the story) her sisters try and help her by striking a deal with the aforementioned wich, they take the little mermaid a knife and tell her that if she murders the treacherous man she will be restored to the undersea... But she is kind hearted and lets him live for which she is rewarded by being turned to seafoam.
From the trailers my opinion of The Little Mermaid was that it look both BEAUTIFUL and BAD. Thanks for confirming both of these thoughts. I won't be seeing it in theaters - really don't want a bloody belly button.

“Both BEAUTIFUL and BAD” should be in huge letters on the movie poster. This is exactly right!
