Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Great Stuff
Well done remastering. Colors are nice and vivid. Everything we remember from the theatres back when it was orginally released. Worth buying!
Rating: - Enjoyed!
I sent this to my 3 year old granddaughter in Long Beach for her birthday. Her parents tell me she loved it.
So although I didn't see it I got a good "review" of it!
What I'm looking for now is a copy of the Lion King.
Thanks.

Rating:  - The best Disney movie of my lifetime
Fine, I was pretty young when this movie came out. But I watched it again and again and again. Knew all the songs and still do. I'm sure I will know them all my life. I do have a soft spot for "Dumbo" and "Robin Hood," but in my lifetime this is the best Disney movie ever made. And since Disney isn't making any more animated movies this may well be the last good Disney movie ever. Sorry all you Lion King and Beauty/Beast fans, they just didn't do it for me. It's sad to witness an end to an era ... Read More
Rating:  - Regional Restriction for viewing in Australian DVD player
There is apparently a Regional Restriction for viewing the DVD in Australian DVD player. So we were unable to view the DVD on our DVD player. It would nice that when we purchase the DVD that Amazon.com would tell us that there would be restrictions in viewing the DVD in Australia and restrict us in continuing with the purchase.
Rating: - Too scary for all my children
I ordered this DVD from Netflix and we played it twice. All in family concluded that they didn't want to watch it again. This is from a 2 1/2 year old girl, a 4 1/2 year boy and a 10 year old girl. My girls love many of the songs we play from YouTube, like "Part of Your World", but the evil enchantress and the sharks that "kill" make it all too scary for them. My kids have 100's of DVDs, and preferred titles are: Angelina Ballerina, Ratatouille, Cars, Baby Enstein box set, Teletubbies, Rescue ... Read More
