Mermaids

Mermaids are a mythical creature from the sea, usually depicted as half woman, and half fish. They have appeared in stories from a number of cultures dating back centuries.

One of the most popular stories about mermaids is Hans Christian Andersen's 1836 fairy tale, The Little Mermaid. Disney produced an animated version in 1989, which spawned a television pilot created by Jim Henson called The Little Mermaid's Island.
