superb
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 03 May 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
this film is superb. Ariel, a vivacious red-headed mermaid, dreams of the mystery and excitement of the human world, much to the concern of her father King Triton and his valet, the Caribbean crab Sebastian.
Together with her best friend Flounder, Ariel secretly explores sunken ships, taking her finds to the scatterbrained seagull Scuttle for analysis.
But when she saves the life of Prince Eric in a storm, a sinister outcast makes her move upon the hapless young girl.
Ursula the Sea-Witch, offers to turn Ariel into a human for three days, during which she must get Eric to kiss her, should she want to remain with him on land always.
The price is her voice, and the penalty should she fail, is a lifetime of misery, as one of Ursula's grotesque little plants.
The clock is ticking, and there is more than just Ariel's future at stake, because Ursula wants revenge on Ariel's father, King Triton, and to take over the underwater kingdom.
the songs are brilliant in this film, from the reggae 'Kiss the Girl' sung by an array of aquatic animals that are desperately urging Eric to kiss Ariel, to Ursula's villainous 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' which is so insistent and persuasive in convincing Ariel to accept Ursula's bargain, that her rather stupid decision to sign away her freedom, becomes completely understandable, and of course the award-winning 'Under the Sea', which will get stuck in your head for days.

(51)Part of something special
By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 01 Apr 2012After some wilderness years, this was the movie that got the Disney animation unit firmly back in the saddle, a glorious adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale. Filled with light, humour, colour, great characters and – above all – an outstanding musical score, this easily sits up there in the pantheon of great Disney cartoons.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good, but there's better....
By Wimpy (52 reviews) from Sheerness , 26 Sep 2010Having seen a condensed live version at Disneyworld, I realised this was one of the modern Disney's I hadn't seen. In truth, I didn't like it as much as Beauty & The Beast or Hunchback of Notre Dame, but it wasn't bad at all. Incidentally, my Husband was nearly in tears!- Was this review helpful to you?
