Disney could not have done it better

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2002)

The Little Mermaid is Disney at its best. The film wowed audiences and critics alike back in its 1989 release. And rightly so- "Mermaid" provides some of the best animation ever seen in a Disney film. From the breath-taking underwater sequences to the truly spectacular sequences on the land. The Little Mermaid is also known for its excellent songs. "Under The Sea", "Kiss The Girl", "Part Of Your World" - need I say more? The characters are also hugely memorable - and Ariel is the ultimate heroine. Its excellent performance at the box office, with $111m (today adjusted to $217m) in the US alone, started a whole new golden era for the Disney company. To this day, "Mermaid" remains one of Disney's most beloved and popular films.
