Maybe the remake is getting better reception than others because the original Little Mermaid is a movie best-known for the context in which it came out more than anything? Plus, this isn't nearly as dumb an idea as The Lion King, seeing how The Little Mermaid is hardly something Disney came up with. Granted, you could say the same about most of Disney's animated canon, but still. Some stories can be told over and over again with new renditions - there's a reason Little Women has had multiple well-received movie adaptations.
