If copyright didn't last forever, anyone could make a little mermaid movie with the main character as whatever race they prefer. Its been 35 years, time to release this into the public domain.

The copyright does not apply to the Andersen original anymore. You just have to make your own twist on the story.

I want a JAWS style retelling of the Little Mermaid. Then a porn parody version, because I want what I want

The Little Mermaid - The Eroge (I have a feeling it already exists)

The Little Mermaid was H. C. Andersen, not the brothers Grimm
