Review
The Little Mermaid is one of Disneys best animated motion pictures. It tells the classic Hans Christian Anderson story of a mermaid who wishes she could be human in order to capture the love of a human prince. The animation is beautiful in fact I think this is one of Disneys most flawless films. It features lovable characters Ariel the little mermaid is one of my favorite Disney girls Sebastian the crab Scuttle the wacky seagull Flounder the... flounder Triton Ariels father the Sea King and of course prince charming Eric. And dont think I forgot the most despised octopus of the oceans Ursula and her two eels Flotsam and Jetsum. Great beginning and great ending... and of course a lovable story. The music is beautiful (and rightfully won the Oscar for best score and best song). The score is by Alan Menken (who also provided us with the scores of Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast). Some of the most beautiful Disney songs are in The Little Mermaid Part of Your World Kiss the Girl and for a little bit of dancin Under the Sea. A movie for all ages you will be enchanted by Ariels world under the sea by the wacky characters the cruel but in a strange way lovable Ursula the score the songs the story and the animation. I hope everybody has The Little Mermaid in their video collection to one day show their children and grandchildren or any youngster (or adult for that matter). You will be captured by Ariel and want to be part of her (most intriguing) world.
