Disney Adaptation of the Classic Hans Andersen Fairytale

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2007)

I love the fairy tales from Hans Christian Andersen, and "The Little Mermaid" is one of my favorite fairy tales from him. Like I said I like a little twist in a fairy story now and then, like the ending: The little sea princess gets her prince; it is a change from Andersen's original ending.
Yes, I love this film. The animation and backgrounds are very beautiful and the characters are appealing. Also I thought the casting is very good too. I love Ariel, she's one of my favorite Disney Princesses along with Aurora from "Sleeping Beauty." Ariel's voice actress Jodi Benson is an excellent singing voice for the film; also suits her character. And you know, it's kind of hard to choose which film version of the story is the best. But I would say that this version and the Japanese animated version made fourteen years ago are the best versions; I'm not one to take sides you know.
