This is a fave of a certain group of my friends. We've seen it to death on video. And so, when it was re-released to theaters about, oh, a decade ago - - we felt silly going to see it.
We were bored ... for about 10 minutes. Then it sucked us in. Seeing it on the big screen again was awesome, and it will go down as one of my favorite ... and most pleasantly surprising ... times at the movies.
I will no doubt be seeing it at the El Cap.
(Alas, The El Cap did not exist in its El Cap form when the movie was first released. The Little Mermaid played on the vastly bigger screen of the Cinerama Dome ... and I doubt we'll ever see it looming that large again in our lifetimes.)
