Good start, but then it gets ruined
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Almost three decades ago, when I saw this movie for the first time, it's excellent music made it number one on my list of Disney favorites, and it stayed there to this day. "Under the Sea" is, without a competition, the most catchy Disney song ever and it totally deserved Oscar it won. "Kiss the Girl" was also nominated, and when two songs from the same movie compete for the same Oscar it's clear how great this soundtrack is. The most beautiful and the most romantic Disney animated flick, with the most singable and catchy songs. Every time I see it I feel like teenager in love.10/10
As a whole The Little Mermaid is fantastic. It is not my favorite from the Disney renaisance, but it definitely is a fantastic underwater adventure. Comparing it to the later Disney greats I came to a conclusion on why I liked it: it made me happy. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite, because it was thought-provoking and made me think about life, but when in need of cheering up this Mermaid is what I turn to. The climax is one of the best in the Disney catalog with the great Ursula being defeated in a pretty awesome way actually! Under The Sea is only one of all the ridiculously catchy songs in the movie and it really deserved those Oscars. While Ursula's song maybe is my least favorite of the villain songs from the great 90's Disney movies it surely is entertaining just like the other songs. But the time Ariel spends on land really shows how passionately the animators worked on the movie. If you haven't, watch it! It is great.
After a few years of making decent, if not exceptional films this was the one that enabled Disney Animation to bounce back on a big scale and launch their 'renaissance' that would last until 2000.This film, which sees a young mermaid dream of being a human, sets a template which lots of the Disney films that followed would stick to.It has great voice acting, some ear grabbing songs that stick with you beyond the end credits, and the animation is great too.It's a classic Disney film for a reason.
The Little Mermaid is stunning. It's absolutely beautiful. This is a movie that I liked and couldn't place my finger on why. I found it bothering that it seemed to give the message that looks are more important than personality... but as the story progresses I think it becomes obvious that Ariel isn't a hero and has been making childish decisions the whole time and that to me is what makes this so spectacular. Throughout, you buy Ariel as a character in such a beautiful story. This movie so perfectly portrays innocence. It also shows her father have a great arc about learning to let go. Aside from having a well told story, the music is some of the best Disney has to offer. Every one I could listen to on repeat. Lastly, the art Disney offers in the Golden Age is breathtaking. The Little Mermaid has such beautiful visuals (especially Ariel ;)) that put you "Under the sea." Definitely see this masterpiece!
