Amazon.com essential video
From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured that "magic" that had been dormant for thirty 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 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 Beauty and the Beast to theaters. A modern Disney classic. --Keith Simanton

 The Little Mermaid July 24, 2010

I have always stayed away from Disney princess movies, and a major reason is because I worried about being teased. So I finally decided to watch the Little Mermaid last year, and I enjoyed it immensely. Through the next week I had watched it four times when I started to realize this is one of my favorite movies. If you shy away from Disney movies, I would still recommend this one, while yet this is your typical Disney love story, it's still a great movie. I first noticed how amazing the animation was in the Little Mermaid, the animation was a big improvement over most of the movies Disney made in the 70's and 80's. The waves during the final scene are incredible for being animated and all those hand drawn bubbles in the underwater scenes must have taken forever to master. The Little Mermaid also has one of the best scores for a Disney movie and the credit goes to the talented Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. And while yet I was embarrassed to admit liking the Little Mermaid, isn't this what makes a movie great, fun characters, great animation, an incredible score and an enjoyable plot. So I will admit, while yet I may be too old to be watching a Disney princess movie I don't care.
If you own the Little Mermaid on VHS from the "Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection", I would recommend keeping it. Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel) introduces the trailers for the upcoming projects Walt Disney studios are working on and if you're a Little Mermaid completes' this tape is a nice item to keep. There also is a "Part of Your World" music video with Jodi Benson during the end credits, which I don't believe is included with the two disc special edition.
I unfortunately love this movie now and I'm going to have to explain this to other people but it's a price I have to pay. A great movie should be intended for all audiences so I would recommend watching the Little Mermaid.
 Counterfeit Video!! July 8, 2010

Received this video and it was sealed as it stated in product description but it was obvious this wasn't a real Disney video. The usual label was missing sealing the outside of the case and the usual Disney info from the inside of the case wss missing, including the Disney code for Disney bonus materials. Also the disc artwork looked different from our previous Little Mermaid DVD that got stuck in a DVD player. The video also gets stuck in the very beginning every time we play the movie and then jumps during the Kiss the Girl scene and then the audio doesn't match the video. I'm very disappointed that this was represented as new, sealed DVD and it was a copy. I didn't return it however because it is my daughter's favorite movie right now and I can't find it anywhere else. This is the second Disney DVD I have ordered through Amazon that has obviously been a fake.

We ordered this DVD so we could entertain our kids on a trip to Florida. My wife noticed that the packaging looked a little weird and faded but didn't think much about it until she opened the cover. She immediately noticed that the disk had small scratches everywhere and upon further inspection, the DVD's had very poor image quality on the labels and the word "Disk" was actually spelled "DESK"!! Not on one dvd but both of them!! WE loaded the DVD into our van DVD player and it wouldn't even play. Needless to say we where very upset the DVD was fake. I emailed the seller when we returned and she immediately made things right. She fully refunded us for the price of the DVD and shipping costs. I would do business with them again because I don't think they had any idea the DVD was fake. It was in clear packaging and they never opened it.
