Disney's best....EVER!

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2007)

Ariel is a bright, fiery young mermaid princess, who loves to explore with her friends Flounder, a fish, and Sebastian, a bossy crab, the adviser of her father King Triton. Exploring often gets Ariel into trouble, and she must sneak around on the sly. Ariel is hugely fascinated by the human world - and she secretly visits old shipwrecks and other places, and collects old human possessions. Despite knowing that humans are "dangerous", Ariel cannot stop herself, and is enchanted by this different world. She ends up saving the life of a Prince named Eric, after his ship as destroyed by a hurricane as she was watching it.After taking Eric to shore, Ariel sings to him with her beautiful voice. As Eric opens his eyes, Ariel flees, as she does not want to be seen, afraid of scaring him. Ariel falls for Eric, and he too, for her, just by her singing. When King Triton finds out Ariel loves a human, he is furious and forbids her anything to do with him, and smashes all her secret human possessions. Hurt, and very angry, Ariel visits the sea witch Ursula, and exchanges her beautiful voice, in return for human legs. Ursula's magic allows Ariel to be human for 3 days, and if Ariel can make the Prince kiss her before the sun sets on the 3rd day, she will be human forever...
I first saw this movie when I was six years old, and it has been my favourite Disney movie ever since. It was my first Disney film, and is still my all time favourite. I grew up singing the songs, talking like Ariel, I craved to be a real mermaid for years! The story, direction, animation, and character portrayal in this movie absolutely amazing - I loved every second. The best part I would have to say, is the music. My favourite song is "Part Of Your World", followed by "Under The Sea" and "Kiss The Girl". All songs are melodious and catchy, and tug at your heartstrings. Even "Poor Unfortunate Souls" sung by Ursula was great. Even watching today, my opinion is the same. And I still remember all those memories I grew up with, thanks to this one film.
One of the best Disney has ever produced. Thank you.
