This one is one of the best

The Little Mermaid will always be remembered as the film which saved animation industry. Though the quality of animation had declined in the 60's, except for The Jungle Book, the real low quality and unsuccessful films came in the 70's and 80's. While 101 Dalmatians was still successful, something that I can't understand after such a breathtaking film as Sleeping Beauty, features like Robin Hood, The Aristocats, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron and Oliver & Company did not fare as well, actually they are the last ones in the box office grosses. Simply because the animation was unextraordinary and sorry to say, disgusting, and the songs lacked the magic of earlier films. The only one which really stands out is The Fox and The Hound which is visually very good and the songs are OK. The Little Mermaid was a quick return to Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Featuring breathtaking classic animation, top-notch songs and emotionally haunting characters. The investment in Mermaid can easily be seen in such moments as the Main Titles scene and the storm, and actually every other scene. The songs Under the Sea, Kiss the Girl, Part of Your World and Fathoms Below are outstanding while Les Poissons gives a comic relief. The movie's greatness is its big critical acclaim, not to talk about the public one. While today's features, even Tarzan and 1992's Aladdin were mediocre critical successes (from what I have read and heard), Mermaid and 1991's Beauty and the Beast were a huge critical successes.
The film is never disappointing. we own both versions and enjoy everyone of them. I recommend The Little Mermaid to everyone!
