Probably worst Disney film

Rating: 3/10 (6 November 2008)

This film is totally overestimated. I acknowledge the songs. They are good,; Disney songs usually are good. But otherwise I cannot see any good points of the film.
The story is only to be called crappy. The love story is superficial and in mine eyes not really persuading. The typical Disney villain is, well, typical but not really much else. The same goes for Triton; as a matter of fact there isn't much of character in him. The entire storyline is completely predictable. And the ending...When I saw it, about the last 5 minutes of the film, I only thought, like: "That is the most ridiculous ending you have ever seen." Finally, the animation. It may be personal preferences and such, but from my point of view it did quite well with the nonhuman things, but sucked portraying the prince or Ariel. Ariel was sort of the most hideously drawn main character up till then.
Thus my opinion about the film: You can watch it one time, but you will never watch it twice.
PS: Oh, and about the whole Disney classics thing: a film of 1989 is no classic! A film of the forties or fifties is a classic (and classics have a quality never reached since). Pray do not desecrate the holy classics of early Disney animation by calling every puny film after not even two decades a goddamn classic.
