Little Mermaid

Pros: An inspiring story, award-winning music, light-hearted.
Cons: None, unless you are concerned about “Fairy Tale Syndrome”.

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 ...

Pros: Fun, entertaining animated movie with wonderful music.
Cons: Few scenes may scare younger children.

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: Great animation, characters, message
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: 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 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 music, great villain
Cons: usual 80s-90s Disney heroine, questionable theme

I saw The Little Mermaid in the theater when it came out. I absolutely loved it--the animation, the music. When my daughter was born, I bought a copy on video when it was rereleased (the non-penis box version, I'm afraid). I popped it in, ready to...

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...

Pros: Great music, a hot heroine, a story that makes you root for the main character
Cons: Some feminists may object, but I say they're out of line

The Little Mermaid's story, Disney version, is famous throughout the world. No need to waste words retelling it. Anyways, this was the movie that revived the animation industry altogether, not to mention Disney.

Before I review this, I'd like...

Pros: captivating voice of main character, great music, good plot, very entertaining, teaches you to never give up.
Cons: No mother is present in the film, disturbing images of the father destroying his daughter's possessions and treasures--even a gift she got from Flounder, and some violence.

This animated movie was well-worth seeing. It is worth every ounce of entertainment that it contains. There are a lot of lessons in the background of the story and the characters; but I don't really care to think about them. I just enjoy it for the love...

Pros: Great animation
Cons: None

What a wonderful movie this is! We have watched this video so many times that my daughter knows all the words to the movie.

It is a wonderful story of Ariel, who is a princess that lives under the sea. She falls in love with Prince Eric who...
