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

Summary: Instant Classic!
Comment: This movie is a lot of fun, and definitely ranks right up there with older Disney "classic" films such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. The folks at Disney did take some creative license with the tale (in the original the mermaid does NOT end up with the prince!), but you can forgive them for that. :) Ursula is a delightful villian; the music is terrific; the story is charming. Buy this one!

Summary: The Revival of Classic Disney Animation
Comment: I remember the excitement of this film's release. It had been years since Disney had given us anything of note from their animation department. Based on the Hans Christian Anderson classic, "The Little Mermaid" brought large audiences back to the type of Disney tradition millions had grown-up on.
With characters like Sebastian the crab, the evil witch Ursula, king Triton and Prince Eric, great Disney family storytelling was back on track. But Ariel "the Little Mermaid" with voice beautifully provided by Jodi Benson, truly is the star of this warmly touching cinematic delight. You truly feel for her, and her deep longing to become human. Such a lovable tale for all ages, which can even be a little frightening for very small children; especially towards the end when evil Ursula seems to have conquered all of the sea kingdom and everyone of its inhabitants. But most will be pleased with the extremely happy ending. Outstanding Howard Ashman and Alan Menken score.
