Black Panther 2, Aquaman 2. And of course, 00:00:07
the Disney Live action remake of The Little
Mermaid Coming up soon. With all these ocean 00:00:11
movies in theaters it’s no wonder everyone
in Hollywood has been so salty lately.00:00:20
Hello Internet! Welcome to Film Theory, the
show that has gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, 00:00:25
whozits and whatzits galore. But my favorite
doodad has got to be the subscribe button. Well, 00:00:30
it's that time again loyal theorists. That
wonderful time of the year where our corporate 00:00:34
overlords over at the Walt Disney Company
decide to take one of their beloved classic 00:00:38
animated films, suck all the joy out of it, and
then produce a lifeless live action remake that 00:00:43
somehow manages to make a billion dollars.
That's right. Today, we're talking about 00:00:47
The Little Mermaid, which hits theaters
later this month. And let me just say, 00:00:51
I'm not hopeful. I knew this one was going
to be fighting an uphill battle the second 00:00:54
the trailers showcased the song Part of Your
World as this big power ballad moment for Ariel, 00:00:59
just riffing on higher and higher notes.
That's not what that moment is, guys. It's 00:01:04
not a vocal showcase. It's supposed to be a
sad and reflective song. Ariel is literally 00:01:09
yearning for a different life. Now, let me be
clear. This isn't Halle Bailey's fault. It's 00:01:13
an issue of direction, of missing the point of
the original story and characterization of the 00:01:17
song. But who knows? Maybe I'll be surprised.
Let's just say I'm not holding my breath as I 00:01:22
prepare to dive under da sea. That said, one thing
that I can't deny is that trailers for this movie 00:01:26
have gotten me thinking. If this is meant to be
a live action remake, well, you know, there's 00:01:31
just no such thing as a live action mermaid. And
while I certainly like the designs that they did, 00:01:36
what would a realistic mermaid look like?
The whole half human half fish thing? Like, how 00:01:41
would that even work biologically? Could that even
work biologically? Could a creature like Ariel 00:01:46
actually be real? or would she end up looking
more like a cryptid creepypasta? And before 00:01:50
you call out that piece of common knowledge that
mermaids would just look like manatees because 00:01:55
old time sailors mistook manatees for mermaids.
Yeah. Turns out that wasn't a widespread thing. 00:02:00
In fact, as far as my research showed, it
only ever happened once. And the guy that 00:02:04
couldn't tell a dugong from a bathing beauty
was everyone's favorite clumsy conqueror: 00:02:08
Christopher Columbus himself. Yep. It looks like
Columbus. The same guy who mistook the Americas 00:02:12
for the East Indies was just as bad at identifying
aquatic mammals as he was the continents. 00:02:17
So what would a biologically accurate humanoid
aquatic species evolve to look like if we wanted 00:02:22
them to be part of our world? Let's just say
Prince Eric would probably want to seriously 00:02:27
reconsider his decision to kiss da girl.
And in perhaps the strangest twist of all, 00:02:31
Ursula would probably be doing Ariel the
biggest favor possible by taking away her voice. 00:02:36
Don't believe me? Well, what more is you
looking for all you crabs? Let's dive in. 00:02:41
So how does one go about figuring out the
biology of a fictional aquatic humanoid that 00:02:45
does not actually exist? Well, first off, we
know for a fact that whatever we're creating, 00:02:48
it's going to have to be a mammal. Yeah, for
as much as I would have loved for the answer 00:02:52
here to pull from some of the truly gnarly real
life creatures that live deep underwater, it just 00:02:56
doesn't line up with the physical characteristics
that we see in these iconic Disney designs. 00:03:00
First off, the mermaid tail, Ariel and all
the other mermaids have tails that move up 00:03:04
and down when they swim as opposed to
side to side. Believe it or not, this 00:03:07
is actually a feature that evolved exclusively
for underwater mammals because they had limbs 00:03:12
underneath their bodies that eventually turned
into fins. And they move up and down because 00:03:15
that's the way their backbones naturally bend.
The also other aquatic mammals like dolphins, 00:03:20
whales and seals. Secondly, we got to talk
about the hair. Ariel and Triton have truly 00:03:24
luscious locks. Since all mammals have
hair and fish don't, clearly mermaids 00:03:28
are going to have to be more mammal than fish.
Plus, the sight of Ariel without hair is just 00:03:32
a cursed image that my brain cannot unsee.
Lastly, this one's a bit awkward to say, but 00:03:38
um, the seashells. King Triton has himself a
pair of nipples, and one can reasonably assume 00:03:44
that the same is true for all the other mermaids
that live in Atlantica. That right there is a 00:03:48
feature exclusive to mammals that produce milk for
their young. So pretty much any way you slice it, 00:03:52
there's a lot of evidence pointing towards
our Disney mermaids having to be mammals. 00:03:56
Knowing that, there's actually a point
in the evolutionary history where this 00:03:59
sort of divergence could have occurred.
This is known by some researchers as the 00:04:03
Aquatic Ape Hypothesis. Basically, it says that
humans evolved from apes that either lived close 00:04:08
to or in the water, and that our upright stance
was borne out of the need to keep our heads above 00:04:12
the surface. This could be where our realistic
mermaids diverge from the rest of the species 00:04:16
during this period of early human evolution, going
under the waves instead of standing above them. 00:04:21
That said, right off the bat, there's one major
problem that we immediately have to address. 00:04:25
Disney's mermaids very clearly breathe both below
the water and above it. This isn't the thing that 00:04:32
aquatic mammals are able to do. Even the ones
that spend a lot of time underwater like whales. 00:04:36
Instead, they have to occasionally surface to take
massive, deep breaths before submerging again. 00:04:41
For instance, the longest a whale has been
recorded. Holding their breath was 222 minutes, 00:04:46
certainly a long time, but also a lot shorter
than what we see Ariel and the gang doing. 00:04:50
So what would have to be going on with our
mermaids? Well, our real mermaids would have 00:04:54
two possible solutions here. The first would be
to survive purely off of cutaneous respiration. 00:04:59
Basically, that's just a fancy way of saying
that an animal is able to breathe through its 00:05:03
skin. This is actually pretty common across
a lot of species of frogs, sea snakes and 00:05:07
turtles. Basically, the skin is thin and moist,
allowing gases like oxygen to pass through. And 00:05:12
believe it or not, but some mammals, including
us humans, are able to respirate in the same way. 00:05:16
For us, this sort of skin breathing only accounts
for a very negligible amount of oxygen. It's like 00:05:21
1- 2%. It’s not nearly enough for us to live as
is. But if a mermaid needed to evolve to breathe 00:05:27
more through their skin, it's possible. Honestly,
the biggest problem as it applies to mermaids is 00:05:31
that you're just not able to get a lot of oxygen
through your skin using cutaneous respiration. 00:05:36
As a result, it tends to be reserved for smaller
animals that stay relatively inactive. So our 00:05:41
merpeople would have to be really tiny and
lazy, like a frog or a flatworm. That said, 00:05:45
the second and better solution here would be
for our merpeople to evolve both lungs and 00:05:50
gills. This is certainly rare in the animal
kingdom, but it's not entirely unheard of. 00:05:54
Case in point, the lungfish. Lungfish are known
to live in environments that are low in oxygen, 00:05:59
like stagnant pools, swamps, shallow lakes. As
such, they have both lungs and gills to help meet 00:06:04
their oxygen needs. When the oxygen concentration
in the water is low, lungfish can gulp air at the 00:06:09
surface and then use their lungs to extract it.
When the concentration in the water is high, 00:06:12
though, that's when they're using their gills.
This sort of dual system would help explain away 00:06:16
exactly what we see in the movies; Arial breathing
underwater as well as on land. So our realistic 00:06:22
Disney mermaids are definitely mammals and are
either really small and breathing through their 00:06:26
skin or human sized with both lungs and gills.
But what would they actually look like? Well, to 00:06:31
know that we first have to figure out where they
live. After all, an aquatic mammal that evolves 00:06:34
to survive in the Caribbean is going to look a lot
different than the one that evolves to survive at 00:06:38
the South Pole. Thankfully, we can actually
figure out an answer. Throughout the movie, 00:06:42
we see what the ecology of Atlantica looks like.
There are kelp forests, hydrothermal vents and 00:06:47
most importantly, coral reefs. This means
that the body of water that we're dealing 00:06:50
with is likely warm, eliminating the
North Sea near Denmark, which is usually 00:06:54
where people assume that this movie takes
place, *whispering* including ourselves in 00:06:57
a previous theory. Woops, sorry about that.
We can also get clues from the live action 00:07:00
remake. You see, this new movie replaces
the original design of Ariel's fish friend 00:07:04
Flounder with this… thing. Gone is all the fun and
whimsy of that original design. But in its place, 00:07:09
is scientific accuracy. Yay? Notice the
five black vertical stripes and the yellow 00:07:14
back. That right there is the Sergeant
Major Fish, a species that lives in the 00:07:18
Atlantic Ocean as well as the Mediterranean Sea.
In fact, the Mediterranean is definitely going to 00:07:23
be our best guess for Ariel's home based on other
clues that we see in the movie. For instance, 00:07:27
here in Prince Eric's bathtub, we see statues of
what looked to be fish. In reality, though, those 00:07:32
are meant to be dolphins, and they match the art
style of various fountains found throughout Italy. 00:07:37
We also see flamingos appearing in the song
Kiss da Girl, a tropical bird that can appear 00:07:42
in lagoons, deltas and estuaries around
the Mediterranean. I could keep going on 00:07:46
and looking at the plants and animals of this
region, but perhaps the strongest evidence of 00:07:50
all comes not from the movie itself, but rather
from a video about the movie. On the official 00:07:55
Disney Princess YouTube channel while reviewing
fun facts about the film, they outright say this.00:08:02
Not to be outdone, they follow it up with this.00:08:09
I mean, it doesn't get much more clear cut than
that, it's coming from an official source. So 00:08:13
with that finally settled, we can actually
start looking at how these mermaids would 00:08:16
look and why. First off, some basic stuff.
It's almost certain that our mermaids would 00:08:20
have webbed fingers on their hands. This
would be a really simple adaptation that 00:08:24
would help our mermaids a lot, allowing them
to more easily swim and navigate underwater. 00:08:28
It wouldn't even be that wild for this to
become prominent through natural selection. 00:08:31
Humans today are often born with syndactyly,
or fingers and toes that are fuzed together. 00:08:35
So it's very possible that this sort of thing
would absolutely show up in an evolutionary 00:08:39
offshoot of humans. Our mermaids would also
have eyes, obviously, but those eyes would 00:08:44
likely be bigger and with larger pupils.
You see, while fish eyes and human eyes 00:08:48
work largely the same way, focusing light
onto a retina in the back of the eye, fish 00:08:52
eyes are usually rounder and more flexible. This
allows them to quickly adjust to changes in water 00:08:57
pressure and the way that water is bending the
light. Because fish and mermaids live underwater, 00:09:01
they also have to deal with lower light
conditions. As such, having a larger 00:09:05
retina with a higher density of photoreceptors is
going to help their overall sensitivity to light. 00:09:10
We'd also likely see their eyes having a coating
of tears. A slippery, oozy secretion meant to 00:09:15
protect them, similar to what dolphins use
to protect their eyes. It's also likely that 00:09:19
our merpeople wouldn't have any sort of human
looking ears. If you look at images of whales, 00:09:23
dolphins, walruses and seals, you'll notice
that basically none of them have ears. 00:09:27
Instead, they have these two little holes
in their heads that act like ears. This is 00:09:31
because any sort of external ear is going to
create drag in the water and slow them down, 00:09:34
thereby getting eliminated during the evolutionary
process. So at most, our merpeople would just 00:09:39
have two holes in the sides of their head.
Speaking of drag, what about that hair? Arguably 00:09:43
the most iconic part of Ariel's whole aesthetic
is her long, bright red head of hair. But would 00:09:48
that be a thing for a real mermaid? Certainly
not. Just like ears, long hair would provide 00:09:53
a lot of drag as our mermaids tried to swim
through the water. You ever wonder why Olympic 00:09:56
swimmers wear caps that cover up their heads?
One of the big reasons is to keep their hair 00:10:00
down to reduce drag. They also have to shave
all their body hair off. And I mean all of it 00:10:04
for the exact same reason. They want as little
drag as possible when they swim. This track for 00:10:09
most marine mammals, whales and dolphins have a
few whisker-like hairs to help them sense their 00:10:13
environment, but otherwise they're smooth skinned.
Similarly, manatees have little tactile hairs all 00:10:18
over their body. Seals and walruses, on the
other hand, have both whiskers and layers of 00:10:22
slick fur that stick well to their skin.
Our mermaids are probably going to have 00:10:26
something similar either no hair or slick
hair that runs down all over their body. But 00:10:30
this does bring up another point. See, mammals
don't just have hair as a means to be stylish. 00:10:34
A lot of the time, fur or hair is
needed to keep these mammals warm, 00:10:37
trapping a layer of heat between the skin
and the fur. Without that hair, well, 00:10:41
our mermaids are going to start suffering if they
don't have protection from the cold. According to 00:10:44
the Encyclopedia Britannica, temperatures in the
deep parts of the Mediterranean tend to be about 00:10:48
55 degrees Fahrenheit or 13 degrees Celsius.
Now, humans can begin suffering hypothermia at 00:10:54
temperatures as high as 60 degrees Fahrenheit or
15.6 degrees Celsius. So our mermaids are going to 00:10:59
need some sort of solution here, otherwise they're
going to be freezing to death. So again, we turn 00:11:03
to other marine mammals to see how they survive
in these depths. And the thing that we find in 00:11:07
common across all of them: whales, dolphins,
manatees, seals and walruses. Blubber. In case 00:11:12
you don't know, blubber is a type of fat tissue
that's just really good at insulating body heat. 00:11:16
Basically, it allows animals to stay
in cold environments by keeping their 00:11:19
body heat inside of themselves. Kind of
like an internal blanket. Additionally, 00:11:23
it also has the advantage of adding buoyancy while
you swim, meaning that it helps save energy while 00:11:28
moving through the water. If an animal has
blubber, it typically covers the entire body, 00:11:32
so that's going to inform how our mermaid looks.
Let's just say they're not going to have the thin 00:11:36
figure of Ariel or the swole chest muscles of
Triton. They're going to have to be a bit on 00:11:40
the chonky side to survive at the bottom
of the Mediterranean. Also, their skin is 00:11:44
likely to be the color that we see on dolphins
and whales, sort of light blue-gray on their 00:11:48
stomachs and a dark blue-gray on their backs.
This allows it to act as a natural camouflage 00:11:51
against the backdrop of the ocean. So,
our realistic mermaid? Probably not what 00:11:55
Disney has plastered all over posters for this
movie. They're going to be mammals with gills 00:11:59
and lungs. They're going to have webbed hands.
They're going to have big eyes coated with oozy, 00:12:03
gooey tears. They're going to have bluish-gray
skin with no ears and no hair except for a couple 00:12:08
whiskers. And it's all going to be wrapped up in
a chonky dad bod from layers of blubber that are 00:12:12
covering their whole body to keep it warm.
Also, they’d likely evolve a more pointed 00:12:16
head to help them stay hydrodynamic as they swim
through the water. Just looking at this thing, 00:12:20
Eric, definitely would have had to have been very
open minded in order to fall in love with this. 00:12:24
But there is one final detail about our
anatomically correct mermaid that's really scary. 00:12:29
And it's likely going to make you never look at
The Little Mermaid the same way again. Remember, 00:12:33
the whole source of conflict within this movie
comes from Ariel's voice. She loves Erik, 00:12:38
and she wants to go to the surface
to be with him. But Triton says no. 00:12:41
So Ariel strikes a bargain with Ursula, a sort
of deal with the underwater devil, where Ariel 00:12:45
gives up her voice to be able to walk on land and
pursue her relationship with the prince. And while 00:12:49
in the movie this creates a central conflict in
real life. This decision to give up her voice, 00:12:53
it would have literally been the single best
thing that Ariel could have done in the situation. 00:12:58
Why? Well, because if she had her voice, she
likely would have killed Erik. Let me explain. You 00:13:03
see, things aren't always better down where it's
wetter because the ocean is a loud place. Like, 00:13:08
really loud. You might not believe it if you're
relaxing on the boat or at the beach. That's 00:13:11
because underwater sounds reflect off the
surface of the water and back down into it. 00:13:15
Yeah, it might shock you because human
ears aren't evolved to hear underwater, 00:13:19
but water is an excellent conductor of
sound. So much so that sound can travel 00:13:22
four times faster and farther underwater than
in air. Plenty of sea creatures actually use 00:13:27
this to their advantage, making really loud
sounds to communicate. Seahorses can growl at 00:13:32
a volume of 115 decibels to intimidate
predators, louder than a rock concert. 00:13:36
The Toadfish attempts to attract a mate by
vibrating their swim bladders at a volume 00:13:40
of 177 decibels, louder than a shotgun blast.
And the pistol shrimp can snap its claw shut 00:13:46
at a volume of 220 decibels. Louder than
a NASA rocket launch. And it's not just 00:13:51
fish and invertebrates either. The aquatic
mammals are also really loud. The elephant 00:13:56
seal can bark at a volume of 126 decibels.
Bottlenose dolphins can reach 163 decibels, 00:14:01
and blue whale calls can cap out at 188. But
that's nothing compared to the single loudest 00:14:07
marine mammal and the loudest animal in the entire
world. The sperm whale, which can produce clicking 00:14:13
sounds up to 233 decibels. Now anything above 120
can harm a human ear. It only takes 165 decibels 00:14:21
to burst your eardrums, so that 233 decibel
click, that's already going to be some bad news. 00:14:26
Those sperm whale clicks have reportedly been
so loud that they can cause temporary paralysis 00:14:31
in parts of the human body. Science journalist
James Nestor has even written that the clicks 00:14:35
could potentially, quote, vibrate a human body
to death. If our mermaids are reaching anything 00:14:40
close to that in terms of their vocal volume,
at minimum, once Ariel comes above the water, 00:14:44
just the act of speaking is going to physically
harm Erik, potentially bursting his eardrum and 00:14:49
permanently rendering him deaf. Someone call
Mr. Beast. I think we have patient 1001. And 00:14:54
if the mermaids are somehow able to get as
loud as a sperm whale? Well, it's a good 00:14:57
thing that it don't take a word to kiss da girl
because Eric wouldn't be under the sea. He'd be 00:15:02
six feet under the ground. I guess all of them
should be happy that Ursula wanted Ariel's voice, 00:15:06
because at that point, you have to wonder who
the true, poor, unfortunate soul really is. 00:15:11
But hey! That's just a theory.
A FILM THEORY! aaaaaaaand cut.00:15:18
Do you want more Disney theories right
now? Well why not check out our trilogy 00:15:22

Count? Which of Disney's classic animated 00:15:26
films is the most deadly? Trust me, you're
going to be surprised by the movie with the 00:15:30
most deaths. If you want something a bit more
