All rights reserved.The Little Mermaid (1998, VHS)
| Movie Description Mermaids are supposed to stay under the sea, but Ariel, a headstrong teenager, longs to be part of the magical world on land. When she falls in love with a human prince, Ariel strikes a bargain with the diabolical Sea Witch to win the prince's love. THE LITTLE MERMAID is a beautiful splash of art and music that revived the classic Disney tradition.
Notes Theatrical release: November 17, 1989. Rereleased November 14, 1997. THE LITTLE MERMAID is the 28th full-length animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures. Alyssa Milano confirmed to Premiere magazine that her body was used as the inspiration for Ariel. Shot in 70mm; color by Technicolor. THE LITTLE MERMAID is the 28th animated feature to carry the Disney name and was originally released in theaters November 17, 1989. David Dunnet was the layout supervisor and Donald Towns was the backgrounds superior. Budget estimate $20 million. Rated BBFC by the British Board of film censors. The original Hans Christian Anderson story, "Little Mermaid," was published in 1836. 25 special effects artists and animators were used to create the special water effects of the film. Over 400 artists and technicians were used to make the film, overall. The making of the film produced nearly 150,000 painted cells, 1,100 backgrounds, 1 million drawings (including sketches, pencil animations, and layouts) and 7,000 feet of hand-drawn film, and utilized more than 1,000 different colors. The two-and-a-half-minute storm scene in which the prince's ship runs aground took eight weeks to choreograph. Two-thirds of the film is set underwater. ***Returned from moratorium status as of 3/31/98.*** Editorial Reviews New York Times - p.II, 22 - Vincent Canby Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (11/15/1989) Total Film - Simon Brew (07/01/2000) New York Times - Janet Maslin (11/05/1989) Premiere - Premiere Staff (10/01/2006) Awards 1989Academy AwardsBest Original ScoreAlan Menken, 1989Academy AwardsBest Original SongAlan Menken, 1989Academy AwardsBest Original SongHoward Ashman | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  Little Mermaid is THE Classic Disney Film A+Review created: 09/26/05 by:  5 of 7 people found this review helpful. I'm not sure how you can fault The Little Mermaid - a delightful Disney cartoon that has lasted the test of time and remains, years after its release, one of the classic Disney movies. Like most Disney films, The Little Mermaid is rich with family entertainment - the story and visuals that delights kids and the sophistication that adults enjoy in family films. Kids enjoy Ariel and her lineup of underwater friends - adults enjoy the dialouge and story. While the visuals aren't necessarily the finest ever - the music, the characters and the humor are plenty entertaining and certainly long-lasting. The Little Mermaid DVD has been in high demand on eBay for as I long as I've checked - and for good reason! This is a classic DVD that any family will enjoy. Excellent addition to any DVD library. Enjoy!! Review ID: 10000000000002934 Was this review helpful? Report this review The little mermaid 1998 special edition6 of 13 people found this review helpful.
