Amazon.com essential video
From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured that "magic" that had been dormant for thirty years. In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder. The lyrics and music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are top form: witty and relevant, and they advance the story (go on, hum a few bars of "Under the Sea"). Mermaid put animation back on the studio's "to do" list and was responsible for ushering Beauty and the Beast to theaters. A modern Disney classic. --Keith Simanton

i am 25 years old and this movie has been my all time favoirte Disney Movie behind Fantasia. I first saw this movie in theaters when my grandmother took me to see it and my mother and i saw it at the Fox Theater the next year. I used to rent it on video when it came out and then i got it not long after it was relesed. Ariel is one of my favorite Disney stars. I have it on video but sadly i can not watch it much anymore. Any how my favorite part of The Little Mermaid is when Eric and Ariel get married in the end. I will always love Teh Little Mermaid.

4 out of 5 stars My favorite Disney animated movie   July 9, 2008
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney animated movie ever. Nothing beats the final scene of Ariel in her sparkly dress or the sound of her voice in the conch shell. Unfortunately, it does have some few minor flaws. The biggest of all, for me, are the steps. The hideous, hideous steps. There is a scene where Ariel rushes down some palace steps. The only problem is that the steps aren't animated- they're CGI. In an animated movie. They stick out like a sore thumb, and every time I see them I wince. I know it probably saved Disney a lot of $$$ while they were making the film, but I would've loved it if they had been reanimated for the remastered edition. Also, "Under the Sea" stretches a little too long for my taste and... well, that's about it. You really can't find t00 much at fault with such a classic.
