Their Best Film

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2011)

22 years have passed since this classic revitalized the Disney company and an entire film genre. I remember "The Little Mermaid" came out of nowhere. The only Disney movies you would bother going to see were the reissued classics from the 40's/50's/60's.
The Little Mermaid is as imaginative as "Sleeping Beauty", as touching as "Cinderella" and as groundbreaking as "Snow White".
The underwater world is well realized and you can see a lot of effort was put into the drawings. There's some brilliant character animation like Ursula['s tentacles] and Ariel['s hair]. In terms of animation, the final battle truly stands out with all the special effects.
Many agree that this movie has the best musical score of all the classics and indeed, The Little Mermaid is enormously popular largely due to its music.
The Little Mermaid is Disney at its absolute best.
