The Little Mermaid

After the huge disappointment of The Black Cauldron Disney got on this huge kick. Not only were they going to turn out better movies but they were going to do it fast. Witch meant the films were starting to come out every single year. And "The Little Mermaid" was the movie that started hit after hit after hit again and again. This movie went back to the kind of real Disney animation. What's the story? It about a Mermaid named "Ariel" a 16 year old girl who's abscessed with being on dry land. Her father named "King Triton" forbids it but then she falls in love with a human prince named "Eric." After Ariel saves his life in a storm she decides that she absolutely wants to become human so that she can be with him. So she sells her voice to "Ursula" the sea witch and gets herself legs. But now she can't tell Eric who she is. So during the two days they're together they slowly begin to fall in love with each other. However while they're doing that going on, Ursula is plotting her way to get control of the Underwater world. O.K first let's look at the good stuff. Like I said before the animation is back to the kind of animation Disney used to and boy is it spectacular. Let's also look at the characters. Ariel herself is a determined, head-strong, hopeless romantic, generic and modern kind of girl character who is likable. Eric is a kind, kind of hopeless but still likable guy. There's a crab named "Sebastian" who's a worrywart but funny and likable. There's a fish named "Flounder" who's a worrywart, fun-loving and kind of naïve person who's likable. Ursula like I've said before is one of my favourite Disney villains and yeah there's a reason. She's great. Much like Ratigan she just so enjoys what's she's doing. Even her psycho moments like in her song sequence she's really enjoyable to watch because of the speed she's going at and craziness she's keeping up when she's doing all of her things. The music is also spectacular, The songs are memorable and really enjoyable to listen to. As for me, I still really enjoy this movie.
