A Prefect Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2004)

This is one great movie. I first saw it years ago when I about five or six I think although I could only remember very minor bits of it. I managed to run into it again years later at sixteen. I decided to watch it again because I had nothing else to do at the time. I really didn't expect myself to like it as much as I did. The movie was an amazing piece of work. It has some of the best Disney songs ever made. It also has some great characters, prefect animation and an amazing storyline. The movie is based on Han Christian Anderson's fairy tale and Roger Allers, Ron Clements & John Musker has fitted it all nicely into a movie. Although I recommend who liked this movie to read the original tale which I liked just as much as the movie although it doesn't end the same way. The story is interesting, romantic, funny and very entertaining. The characters are excellent with their own personalities and everything including the villain who isn't brainless like some other villains you see. Some people say that's Ariel a brat but if you where in her situation I think you would do the same. The characters voices are prefect and really fit into their roles and appearance. I can easily say that Jodi Benson (Ariel's voice) has the greatest voice I have ever heard. Howard Ashman has created some of the greatest songs also. Under The Sea is my favourite which is sung by Samuel E. Wright (Sebastian's voice) but all the others are great too. This movie won and was nominated for plenty of songs in it. The animation is breathtaking which also won an award for it. Glen Keane (Ariel's main animator) is one of the greatest animators ever to walk the earth. He has worked on many of the Disney films before and after this movie. Anyway the bottom line is that it is one great movie that almost anyone should love. It is by far one of the greatest Disney movies ever, if not the greatest. I highly recommend everyone to see it if they haven't already. I must admit this wasn't 100% prefect thought (although very close to it). I didn't like the ending too much but everything else was beyond prefect.
9/10
P.S. There was a TV series for this movie which was very good. It was based before she had meet Eric and she meets Scuttle and a few other characters in the episodes. It was very well written and seemed as if it was created by the exact same people. There was also a sequel but it was nothing compared to this movie.
