Not bad for a kids' movie, but...

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2014)

I've never been a Disney fan, even as a little kid I knew it was a load of commercialized garbage. The Little Mermaid is okay, if not totally predictable, for a children's story... but it's lacking in many areas. The plot is pretty basic, just a romance story, with not the best values to be teaching kids (changing who you are just for some guy you hardly know, great moral, eh)? The voice cast wasn't bad but the soundtrack was terrible, this cheery, high-pitched, almost whiny singing that makes you want to lean over and throw up in the nearest trash can or something. The animation wasn't bad, but the plot was so predictable you already know what'll happen right away. It honestly isn't worth your time unless you're six years old.
