Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2006)

After watching The Great Mouse Detective and Oliver & Company, I decided to see The Little Mermaid. I went into the cinema with high expectations, but I came out wishing I could have spent those 82 minutes doing something more worthwhile, like watching grass grow, or paint dry. I almost stopped watching Disney movies. But my faith was restored when The Rescuers Down Under came out the next year, and Disney continued with good movies with Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now I enjoy Disney movies, but I have always avoided that abhorrent, detestable film called The Little Mermaid. If you've never watched this movie - DON'T!
