It is certainly my fave film of all time and I'm a 15 year old lad!Enjoy it!

The little mermaid is my favourite disney film, and in my opinion one of the best disney films. Although i think that all disney films are all brilliant and loveable, the little mermaid is by far the strongest. The storyline, the characters, the songs, and the animation are all extremely strong. the film does not have ANY weak points. With most disney films you will get great storylines, but it will lack strong characters or good songs. The little mermaid stays strong in all aspects. Brilliant memoirable, loveable, 'real' characters like sebastian. Extremely strong songs(all of them!!!) how could you ever forget 'under the sea', 'kiss the girl' or 'part of your world'...there is not one rubbish song.
And the one of little mermaids strongest points for me is the animation, even before the digitally remastered version came out the animation was incredible. How the light dances on the sea bed...
The film is a masterpiece. It is beautiful, funny, and makes you feel all soft inside. I am 19 years old, and this is my favourite film EVER!!!!! and now after letting my nieces watch it is their favourite as well. They've worn out my tape!!!
For me, it is by far the best disney film ever made. watch it and i promise you will love it.

14 years before 'Finding Nemo' splashed into cinemas, 'The Little Mermaid' had already taught us that it is indeed better, down where it's wetter Take It From Meeee....

where do i start This delightful Disney-fied adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's tale of the same name still holds its own after all these years of advancements in animation. It's partly because the studio really pushes the boat out, as it were, when it comes to getting the visuals right. But it's also because this is a great story, with a strong female lead, a nice array of supporting characters, suspense and romance in all the right places and some better-than-decent tunes.

Jodi Benson does a fantastic job as the voice of Ariel, the "little mermaid" of the title (actually, she's 16 so not really all that little) For reasons we can only hazard a guess at, she longs to leave her deep sea life behind her and live up-top with the human types. So, despite the strong advice of King Triton (who's also her dear old daddy), she makes a deal with the tentacled seahag Ursula which involves swapping her voice for a pair of legs. The catch? She's got to get the handsome and unfortunately named Prince Eric to snog her before the sun goes down on the third day, or she'll be tossed back into the sea like an old trout Of course, it goes without saying that pop's is gonna chuck a wobbler when he finds out lol

The colourful and imaginative backdrops make for a visual treat, particularly in the underwater scenes, whilst the characters are much better written than many of their counterparts from other Disney flicks of the period. Perhaps the only exception to that is witchy woman Ursula, who's a bit like Madam Mim from 'The Sword and the Stone' only without the comedy value. And you can't help but wonder why, if she's such a great sorceress, she doesn't use some of that magic to make herself vaguely presentable instead of living her life as some sort of aquatic Grotbags.

i hope this review helps. to those who are not already familiar with the little mermaid my advice is simple.. "BUY IT" and if you have seen it my advice again is 'BUY IT' i have been waiting for the release of the little mermaid for years' all we need next is 'BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' :) hope you lovely people of amazon enjoy this film..
