Ariel is my Idol

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2010)

The Little Mermaid is by far my favorite Disney Princess movie. Ever since I first saw it back in 1996 I haven't stopped loving it and even though I've gotten older I still love it. I know it doesn't follow the original, but TLM is still a beautiful story that i can still relate to. Growing up with arguing with your father I could relate to Ariel and her longing to be treated like an adult and wanting to explore unknown lands. Put that angst together with the wonderful music and excellent voices you get a timeless classic the whole family can enjoy. I also applaud Jodi Benson for doing her own singing. I read that they almost cut Part of Your World which to me has always been my favorite and also is important to show how much Ariel wants to be out of the water and with Eric. And lastly, Eric has always been my favorite prince, and Ursula was a cool evil villain.
