The Little Mermaid (DVD, 2006)

Disney's 1989 animated film THE LITTLE MERMAID is a very formidable movie, surpassing the combined visual and musical artistic talents of all concerned. Character development is one of the strong points of THE LITTLE MERMAID achieved through concise dialogue, music and simplistic yet effective images. However, most effective to the success of this film are the songs that advance the story line and define the characters. That was the brilliance of lyricist Howard Ashman's contribution to THE LITTLE MERMAID. He and composer Alan Menken developed songs that in several minutes clearly define Ariel's reckless but innocent curiosity about the humans above and her yearning to discover that world. Every song in THE LITTLE MERMAID bolsters the depth of the characters, advances the plot or enhances the significance of a scene in addition to being very melodic and well written. So in THE LITTLE MERMAID we are given a substantial amount of information and entertainment in a minimum amount of time. There is not a single frame of wasted footage in this film. The combined effort is one of a splendid and effortless looking perfect creation of a classical animated Disney tale.

I remember watching the little Mermaid when I was young, now I get to share it with my daughter. The story is still great and the music is wonderful. A timeless classic!

This is one of my favoite disney master pieces. My iece and I watch it all the time. This is a classic example of why disney is so great, while many of there more recent movies have been disipointing from an adults entertainment and artistic veiw, this and many other classic titles are just so beautifully done, You MUST see this film...

The Little Mermaid is a Cute and lovalbe Disney Movie. The special 2 disc DVD edition is only out for a limited time and was just released this October. It has the original movie restored on the first disc. It also has interviews from Disney imagineers and a special look at a so called Little Mermaid ride that was designed for Disneyland, but was never added to the park. Ashely Tisdale's Music Video of Kiss The Girl is also featured. She's a RARE Disney Channel star that can ACTUALLY SING!! The music video on the dvd is longer than the one they play on the Disney Channel, it's the whole song. There are some fact areas, but no games for kids :(

You need to get this movie for your collection now, but be careful to make sure NOT to get an ASIAN IMPORT!! EWW!!! To make sure you aren't getting an imported one, don't buy from someone who's picutre shows the words Digital sound or picture at the top of their dvd or say it comes with no case just artwork. Those are shabby wannabees or the original Disney classics! Check seller's feedback to see how customers feel about their products!

Also Disney is staring up a new dvd rewards program. You have to buy NEW sealed dvds to get the points in them and they can only be used once of course. They are on the new dvd's they are still producing, the Little Mermaid Special Edition inluded. You save up points to get rewards. All you need is the code, so it's still safe to buy the dvd on ebay (if its new and sealed) These will be sold out soon, the lithographs are already SOLD OUT through Disney so you can only get them on ebay!!

Check out my store : Megan's Treasures for tons of Disney Merchandise and Limited Edition Collectibles. I will be adding a few of these Dvds and lithos to my store soon.
Happy Disney Shopping!!
