5.0 out of 5 stars Watery Good Fun..., 5 Nov 2006
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..

4.0 out of 5 stars The new golden age of Disney, 15 Nov 2006
By T. Cosens (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Little Mermaid was the film to kick start a flagging company. It re-invented a genre and shed new and interesting light on all animated movies to follow.

To say this movie inspired is an understatment when you look at what has followed in the last decade: Aladdin, The lion King and the sublime Beauty and The Beast!

So why was The Little Mermaid so good? Well to start with you have some of the most memorable characters in Disney history. You'll never forget the panicked tones of Sebastion, the ever faithful crab, or the wicked and fantastically theatrical Sea Witch, Ursula! But most of all you have a brilliantly cheerful and endearing heroine to root for!

And then you have the wonderfully bubbly tunes that help move the story on without clogging the running time or getting in the way. You'll be humming "Under the Sea" for days afterwards.

This dvd does an excellent job of restoring the quality of the picture. It's colourful and bright. The sound is perfectly crisp. I dont usually mention the special features, but even they are worth a mention this time, with an interesting and informative look at the making of a classic and important film in Disney's history!

A film which has been loved for nearly twenty years, will now be loved by more generations to come. Buy and enjoy. This should be in any dvd collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best disney movie to date!, 2 Oct 2006
By Syreeta Allen (dereham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The little mermaid is a timeless classic and I have been waiting absolutely years to own it on DVD. It is a delightful tale of romance, family heartache, friendship and adventure. This fun-filled tale will please the whole family. The humorous Sebastian and the loyal Flounder help Ariel keep secret from her father, her love for the human Prince Eric. She trades her voice to the seawitch in exchange for legs, only the seawitch has a much more cunning and evil plan. This is a disney movie at its best, with laughter and tears and a heartwarming ending. One to watch and not to be missed. Highly recommended for any little girl, any family and anyone who has ever had a dream.
