Little Mermaid is THE Classic Disney Film A+

Created: 26/09/05
I'm not sure how you can fault The Little Mermaid - a delightful Disney cartoon that has lasted the test of time and remains, years after its release, one of the classic Disney movies. Like most Disney films, The Little Mermaid is rich with family entertainment - the story and visuals that delights kids and the sophistication that adults enjoy in family films. Kids enjoy Ariel and her lineup of underwater friends - adults enjoy the dialouge and story. While the visuals aren't necessarily the finest ever - the music, the characters and the humor are plenty entertaining and certainly long-lasting.

The Little Mermaid DVD has been in high demand on eBay for as I long as I've checked - and for good reason! This is a classic DVD that any family will enjoy. Excellent addition to any DVD library. Enjoy!!

The Little Mermaid

Created: 17/02/11
This is a beautiful movie, great for kids. The soundtrack is wonderful, very catchy songs. It is a story about the youngest daughter of King Triton, Ariel who wishes to become a human and her adventures along the way. She of course gets herself into trouble and at first things do not seem as wonderful as she thought they would be. The original VHS cover was banned by Disney because of a phallic symbol on the castle. This is true.

Why is the cover banned?

Created: 05/10/06
Ok, the movie is the greatest movie on this planet. My children love it and my grandparents love it, even my great aunt loves it. As a matter of fact, I believe that my kitty cat also loves this most grand film. However, I just realized that the art on this "banned" cover has a male organ on it. How do I know that? Well for starters, years ago I took a physical education class, and we learned about what this male organ looks like. Where is the image you may ask? The image is masked as a tower in the center of the castle. You must have the classic version of this movie to see. If you do, I suggest you make Disney pay you lots of money as a just settlement on having your life scarred. Even though this movie is an all American classic that everybody loves, people are for the most part jerks...so why not take advantage of this plain and simple fact and complain to Disney, even though they banned this cover already. Whatever you do, do not let your children see the cover. Well, cheerios!

The Little Mermaid

I have been looking for the Little Mermaid on VHS for years. Its my favorite. I don't like the new "DIGITALLY ENHANCED" stuff. Its not the same! Colors r not true and it takes away the true art work/the talent of the artist. not everything should be perfect... Not anything should be perfect! I'm satisfied with my purchase and the price was right.
