Movie Reviews of The Little Mermaid (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
Movie Review: My favorite Disney movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all time favorite Disney movie, I loved this movie so much I used to watch it all the time when I was little.
What I like about this movie is that it has a good pace, it tells a long story in a short amount of time, by skipping out on things that probably would have made more sense, but would have slowed the movie down.
One might think "What does Eric and Ariel see in each other? They just fall in love and live happily ever after?"
I can imagine of utterly boring this movie would have been, having you forced to see those characters explain and show how much they love each other.
Instead, it's love at first sight, you kind of guess Eric's personality (though it's obvious he's kind and brave), and it dosen't slow the movie down, and they do add the romantic scene "Kiss the girl" to really show Eric and Ariels love for each other. "Kiss the girl" is so beautifully animated, it's one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
The music and the songs really stands out in this movie, I used to sing-a-long with "Under the sea" when I watched it, nowadays I always choose "Part of your world" when I sing. That song is so dreamy, so perfect and tells the story that just because you got a lot of fancy stuff dosen't mean you are happy. "Kiss the girl" is also a very good song, it suits perfectly with the beautiful scene.
And to not make this a sappy love-story (like Pocahontas), there is some scary stuff in this movie. The ending battle is without a doubt the best painted parts of the movie, I can't even imagine how many hours was spent drawing that scene!
It's a good story, great songs, loveable (and not lovable Ursula) characters and beautiful animation.
Movie Review: The Little Mermaid
Summary: 5 Stars
A triumphant return to the hand-drawn Disney classics of old, the effervescent "Mermaid" is a sparkling mix of superb voice acting, energetic animation, and a highly infectious songbook, all loosely based on the Hans Christian Andersen story. As voiced by Sam Wright, Sebastian the Crab is a particularly inspired entry in the studio's canon of irresistible helpmates, while Ashman and Menken songs like "Kiss the Girl" and the Oscar-winning "Under the Sea" will have you humming to the beach and back. "Mermaid" is a fun, intoxicating Atlantic fantasia for every size minnow in your splash-happy household.Movie Review: Classic Disney Magic

Movie Review: One of the last great Disney Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Mermaid was one of Disney's last great movies.....before they started trying to spin each classic tale into a 2nd, 3rd movie....each meaningless money making machines.
The Little Mermaid is the Disney version of the Hans Christian Anderson tale. Disney brings it to life with the beautiful Ariel, and a whole cast of loveable characters- Flounder, Eric, Sebastian, Flounder, Skuttle.
Ariel, the youngest of many daughters is bored with life under water and want to explore life on land as a human. She see's a man aboard a boat and falls in love. His name is Eric. When a storm rages, Ariel saves Eric and leaves his ashore. He sees her and can't forget her face. Against her fathers wishes Ariel dreams of life on land. She bargains with the sea witch Ursula to turn her into a human. The price she pays is her voice. She has to make Eric fall in love with her- but she has no voice.
Ursula uses Ariels voice to bring her father to her knees. In the end, she is overcome, and Triton- Ariels father is saved, and let's Ariel go- to become a human.
The music is some of the most creative animated music EVER. From Kiss the girl to Under the Sea, each songs is singable, and unforgettable. Boy and girls alike will love this movie about dreams, courage, and adventure.
