Disney's 1989 animated film THE LITTLE MERMAID is a very formidable movie, surpassing the combined visual and musical artistic talents of all concerned. Character development is one of the strong points of THE LITTLE MERMAID achieved through concise dialogue, music and simplistic yet effective images. However, most effective to the success of this film are the songs that advance the story line and define the characters. That was the brilliance of lyricist Howard Ashman's contribution to THE LITTLE MERMAID. He and composer Alan Menken developed songs that in several minutes clearly define Ariel's reckless but innocent curiosity about the humans above and her yearning to discover that world. Every song in THE LITTLE MERMAID bolsters the depth of the characters, advances the plot or enhances the significance of a scene in addition to being very melodic and well written. So in THE LITTLE MERMAID we are given a substantial amount of information and entertainment in a minimum amount of time. There is not a single frame of wasted footage in this film. The combined effort is one of a splendid and effortless looking perfect creation of a classical animated Disney tale.Read full review

Not my favorite movie, but it is good. For those of you who do not want to know the story do not read on. This is for parents to know what to expect when showing the movie to the children: DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW SOME OF THE EVENTS IN THE MOVIE: She's a mermaid who finds objects we normally see as trash like a fork and they have a weird name and use it as a fork... it's sort of funny. She has a crab as well as a fish for friends. She falls in love with a prince. She wishes to be a human and get's her wish, but I will leave you hanging from there.... :)
Thank you so much. I have always loved The Little Mermaid! 🧜♀️ I am slowly collecting them for my daughter. Brings back such great memories of when I was a kiddo! Haha. Take care.

Bought this for my 2 year old knowing I love the movie. Received a bootleg copy that will not play in any of the 3 Blu Ray / DVD players we own. Actually locks them up so that I have to unplug them just to restart the player to get it to open to get the disk out. Not sure what the problem is, but definitely a bogus copy. Disk has rough edges which is odd. Just wanted a movie that worked.
