Joking aside - Little Mermaid is among the best of the best. Tight story, songs that move the plot, great characters that aren't annoying, and gorgeous animation. It's obvious why this was the movie that saved Disney.

Give this a full viewing; it deserves it.

And it ushered in the era of the bare midrift princess

I know this may be hard to fathom, but I don't want to be suckered into buying this movie again on DVD. I'd have to sea a drastic change in film quality to shell out my clams to but this one again...




:D

I don't own it. There's a VHS copy somewhere in my family's posession (at either my parents' or my sister's place), but I will definitely need to purchase this new DVD release.

I bought some Disney's Gold Collection DVD version. It's fine, but they included a Jodi Benson video during the credits. Bleh. Maybe I will get the new version if it doesn't have that...

What about the HD-DVD version?

I don't have that one.

The Little Mermaid has one of my favorite villains ever.

I agree! King Triton is a perfect representation of patriarchal oppression in a climate of mysogenistic subservience.

Whatever.
