My all time favourite childhood movie since I was a kid

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2010)

When I was a little girl I loved mermaids and fairy tales. I was so fascinated with this movie as a kid and here is why.
The Little Mermaid is directed by John Musker & Ron Clement who also directed Aladdin and most recent The Princess & the Frog. The story is about a 16 year old mermaid who is best friends with a fish named Flounder and a funny crab called Sebastian. Ariel is a very lovestruck/optimistic girl who dreams of being part of the human world. Her father doesn't want that as he has something against humans and thinks that they are barbarians. One evening Ariel hears fireworks which is the Prince's ship and as she sees him she begins to fall in love with him despite the fact she knows nothing about him. So when she goes to the sea witch she turns her into a human for 3 days,problem is she can't talk as she gives up her singing/speaking voice to Ursula(who is the villianess in this movie). Packed with great music and a nice story not to mention the colourful charcthers, The Little Mermaid will always be an instant classic in my heart as I grew up watching it in the late 90's. I recommend this to all the Disney lovers out there.
10/10 for me as I loved it so much,i've got the merchandise(well I used to have an Ariel doll but she broke)and I will always love it.
