^ Heehee, I LOVE The Little Mermaid, and have listened to it lots.

When we were sorta sharing "first time" stories last night, I didn't mention that I saw it opening night at the Cinerama Dome (before the El Capitan existed). I wasn't expecting anything special, and was so naturally swept up in the movie that it wasn't till it was over and we were applauding, that we all looked at each other in amazement and said, "Wow, that was REALLY GOOD."

Disney animation hadn't done anything remotely that splended since Walt Disney was alive. It was magnificent, and the Renaissance continued ... but with the subsequent films all playing the El Capitan. Beautiful as that theater is, the screen is tiny compared to the Cinerama Dome ... so The Little Mermaid was seen in uniquely splendiferous visual magnificence when it was premiered.

Le Sigh.
