The Best Disney Film Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2005)

The Little Mermaid is a spectacular movie, and it saved Disney Animation from going under. It ushered in the second Rennassaince. Perfect songs, magical vocal performances, spectacular animation all in the highest Disney tradition.
The Little Mermaid is the tale of a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel who longs for something more than what she has in her life, namely to live on land and to 'be where the people are'. She saves a young prince from drowning, and falls in love at first sight. It is her beautiful voice that wakes him. After her father finds out, and smashes all of her precious human finds in her grotto, she sets out to get Prince Eric, by making a deal with an evil sea witch. What follows is a frantic race against time, before the sun sets on the third day.
Somewhere under the sea and beyond your imagination lies an adventure in fantasy...........This sums up the whole film really. Winner of two very deserving Oscars, and two Golden Globes, it was a winner with both critics and the box office. Ariel was the first immediately popular Disney heroine, and she has become an iconic figure with Disney. Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel) is still doing voice work for Disney now, as part of the new Disney Princess line.
This film has been loved since it was first released, and is a true Disney Classic in every sense of the word.
