2. Umm...Little Seaspray? (Beachcomber should be the Prince. :P)
You'll have to be more specific as to which 'little' you speak. I know several tales starting with Little just off the top of my head- leaning towards Little Mermaid by your description, but I'm not sure.
That was actually something of a conundrum when I was writing the list too- some of those names are so ambiguous without certain identifiers, especially since character names seem to gobble them up!
You got it, I meant The Little Mermaid. And yeah, folktales can be depressingly simple in their titles, probably what you get for being translated from other languages and collected by folks who probably had no imagination of their own. :/
I can’t decide, though, which version would be more interesting - Anderson or Disney...truth be told I always found both a little depressing.
Huh. Maybe Seaspray would be better suited to a selkie-based story?
A variation on The Six Swans (Seekers?). This one would probably have to be Decepticon based to get enough (Seekers? Cassettes?). The king is of course Megatron. And the silent sister? Soundwave. Perhaps his cassettes get turned into seekers, or vice versa...
Soundwave and the cassette's sounds like a good idea, and though I don't recall the king having all that much of a part (it's been a few years, however), who would play the wicked stepmother? *conundrum conundrum*
My memory was that the king didn't have much of a role other than being the love interest and general blind idiot to his mother framing his wife for infanticide, but I guess it depends on which variant you read. But given Soundwave's loyalty to him in the series I thought Megs was best for the role.
If it’s the cassettes who are the 'brothers', I vote Starscream as the stepmom - he's already a conniving backstabbing harpy, that's the kind of personality which would curse kids on impulse just to be rid of the parental obligations. And Shockwave as the king's mother who tries to frame Soundwave, since that bit of plotting was a much colder, prolonged sort of thing...
