The Little Mermaid [1990] (DVD) ... Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes ... / DVD released 03 October, 2006 at Walt Disney Video / Features of the DVD: Animated, Colour, DVD-Video, Special Edition, NTSC / From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits of The Little Mermaid in 1989 it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured a "magic" that had been dormant for 30 years. In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand", Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull and a flounder. The lyrics and music by song-writing team Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are top form: witty and relevant, and they advance the story (go on, hum a few bars of "Under the Sea"). Mermaid put animation back on the studio's "to do" list and was responsible for ushering 1991's Beauty and the Beast into cinemas. A modern Disney classic. --Keith Simanton

 ... who can name her trinkets is Scuttle the seagull who has no idea what things are nor their uses but does his best to identify them (a dinglehopper for straightening hair - really a fork, or even a snarfblatt for making music - a smokers pipe). But after missing the concert her father is not only angry about the concert but that she has been to the SURFACE!!!! After this incident Sebastian gets lumbered with the task of supervising her at all times, he follows her to her secret stash of human stuff Ariel begs him not t...more

When you first plug in this dvd you get to see a screen screen that has the immediate option to view the disc in either English, Danish or Norwegian. As I am not fluent in two out of the three languages I think that I will stick with the English for now. After this you see the usual copyright warning then you get some trailers to view. These are Tarzan, Fantasia 2000, Lady and the Tramp II, Toy Story II and the Tigger Movie. After this you come to the main title screen. Here your options are as follows. 1. Setup This is a pretty basic menu page where you can again pick from the three earlier mentioned languages. Personally I do not see the point of ...

At just 4 years old I first saw a film that has pretty much shaped the rest of my life, it was this The Little Mermaid, it was one of the first films I remember and as my Mum reminds me even now I declared at the end of it that I wanted to be a mermaid, a declaration I am still making even now 18 years later (although I am as close as I'm going to get I suspect). So how exactly did this story of the stubborn mermaid Princess capture my imagination? I suspect it is the Disney magic, a combination of the bright colours, lively fish, catchy songs and of course a glimpse in to a world that Disney has revisited not so long ago with another of my favourite films ...

The Little Mermaid. Nothing-fishy here! A favourite Disney classic in which Aerial the Mermaid sings her way through the enchanted underwater kingdom. Released in the cinema in 1990, it was available for a short time on video in 1991. Rated as U (universal), it is 80 minutes long, and is totally suitable for youngsters and the young at heart. It is quite collectable, as it is nearly impossible to order. This wonderful fairytale has been superbly brought to life by the magicians at the Disney studios. Full of Oscar winning songs it is guaranteed to enchant and thrill everybody. Aerial falls in love with a Prince, (Eric) after ...
