Pros: Fun, entertaining animated movie with wonderful music.

Disney had created many wonderful animated movies, but their new movies had lost popularity over the years. Some of their movies were considered to be lower quality as well which didn’t help things. In 1989, that changed with the release of ...

Pros: Menken and Ashman's songs; voice talent; strong characters and creative animation
Cons: Pretty heavy for younger viewers (please see review)

I recently had the opportunity to watch Disney's animated film Little Mermaid with my seven year old daughter. It was the first time she had seen the whole thing and it was the first time I'd fully watched it in a number of years. I was ...

Pros: Classic Movie for young and old and future generations to enjoy
Cons: The video is improved, but there's still room for improvement.

A Modern Day Classic With Disney's The Little Mermaid taking its turn finding her legs on Broadway very soon, I thought maybe it would be a good idea revisiting the DVD. With Disney's most impressive history of high quality classic ...

Pros: It's a princess story.
Cons: Some scary parts.

I always loved The Little Mermaid since the first time I saw it many years ago. And I couldn’t wait to share it with my four year old. She loves princess movies, so I thought it was time to get the movie. The Little Mermaid is about a ...

Cons: 38-19-34

OK, sorry about the bad play on words, but I was delighted to see the same controversy emerging on epinions as has been present at several cocktail parties I've attended recently.

I believe that those who object to the message of Little...

Pros: pretty cartoon, nice story, boys and girls like it
Cons: falls far short of early Disney standards

This is one of those “girl” movies like Cinderella, in which the girl falls in love and wants to marry the object of her affection. However, Ariel is much more than a young woman waiting for Prince Charming to sweep hero off of her - um, fins? ...

Pros: Cute, fun
Cons: None

The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies when I was a young child. It makes me happy to say that it is now one of my six year old daughter's favorite movies as well. I didn't have to buy the Little Mermaid movie, I already had it from childhood. ...

Pros: Fun, everyone can enjoy it and it's a classic!
Cons: None

I love my Disney films and The Little Mermaid was my other main favourite one of the classics from when I was younger. I think this is such a fun film and appeals to everyone. This is the 28th Disney animated film. The story:Ariel is a ...

Pros: Good animation, catchy songs.
Cons: Horrible message to young girls.

When I first watched "The Little Mermaid", I was single. Some friends and their girlfriends and I rented this movie on a lark and watched it on a cold Midwestern winter night when nothing else was going on. I remembered that I thought that this was a ...

Pros: nice catchy tunes a good dvd
Cons: Ashley Tipston, still have nightmares in how the songs where played in KH2

Well every October I wait and buy the Disney Platinum edition DVD’s. All the platinum so far have been pretty good with the likes of the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. And I remember liking the little mermaid as a kid despite not watching it in ...

Pros: Magnificent character portrayal and Menken's astounding score.
Cons: None

Disney’s 28th animated feature brims with the richness of imagination and the magic of an outstanding musical score. This Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, though not quite true to the original, is uniquely retold through enchanting Disney ...

Pros: Great Animation, Great Music, Memorable Characters
Cons: Not Real Faithful To Original Work

When this movie was released I was 10 years old, and all boy. I remember hearing all the acclaim and thinking, yuck, it's a movie about a mermaid... how dumb. Well, my mother dragged me to it with two of my sisters, and of course I loved it! 19 years ...

Pros: Great music, Great animation.
Cons: Nothing bad about this movie

My husband introduced the "The Little Mermaid" to my daughter when she was about two. She has not been the same since. She thinks that Ariel and the whole gang are the coolest thing around.

Pros: Great animation and music
Cons: One scary character

When my daughter was two years old we bought her this movie. She is eleven now and it is still one of her most prized possessions! She fell in love with this movie instantly. I am still surprised that the tape even works, after it has been watched so...
