The colours, the music, the animation, the villain! Everything is great.

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.
