The Little Mermaid (A Walt Disney Classic)

Buy This Item The Little Mermaid (A Walt Disney Classic) by Walt Disney Home Video  Available from Amazon  $8.95  on 11-15-2008     The top evidence of a great DISNEY movie? A preeteen / teen saying it rocks. Which I am willing to give. When I was 3, I LOVED this movie. I mean, that's all I would watch. And then, just as a "nbody's going to see me anyay, why not?" mood, I saw it again. And fell in love with it. Again. Jodi Benson - spectacular. She deserved, like, 5 Academy Awards. The rest of the quirky cast? Why are there not more than one "Best supporting actor/actress"? The animation spetacular. The storyline - ths is why I love it. <br />The storey line isnt about some pathetic female waiting for a prince or a faerie godmother, no-siree. The only thing old and magical is the witch, thank heaven. Sure, ther's a boy, but - he has a nice dog. I love dogs, so I kinda thought he was OK at the dog part. <br />MAybe I cracked a few "Omigosh, Ariel's like Lydia from Pride And Prejiduce" jokes, but still. I lov this movie. When will more like it come out? Reader Reviews The only thing that I don't like about these Disney DVDs is that they're all SO expensive!!! Some new DVDs are 15 bucks, but the Disney ones are always 19 bucks +. I don't understand it. Can't a kid buy a Disney DVD for 15 or so bucks anymore? Guess that answer is NO. Disney's "The Little Mermaid" mostly takes place in the sea. Ariel, who is 14/15, is very stubborn and headstrong, and disobeys her Father, King Triton at every opportunity. She's lovely though; smart, curious and representing for the pretty, red-heads. :P She meets the dashingly handsome prince, Eric, and falls head over heels. She even makes a "fatal" deal to give up her sweet, uplifting and downright beautiful voice to the treacherous Witch of the Seas, Ursula. But that in turn, gives her a chance to love a human...But was it worth it? The movie is more or less enjoyable from start to finish, but lags a bit in the middle. I'd recommend any kid to watch this unless they have a short attention span. Not as good as The Lion King or Shrek, but better than Pocahontas, Toy Story and Ice Age. 4 stars.
