Two good reasons to get The Little Mermaid DVD

MouseWife · 10-10-2006, 07:34 AM

Ooooh....thanks for letting me know. I never knew. I do have the VHS copy so now I am intrigued to watch it.

I did buy it, I was on the road and stopped in Bend, OR to get it. {should have gotten it at Best Buy but that is another story...}.

I had not seen the movie in so many years. Brought back a ton of memories and it also brought tears to my eyes {the father/daughter issue}. My two older kids loved this movie and we used to listen to the soundtrack in the car and my son loved it when I'd say 'Zootalo!!' {sp}. Hey, he was only 3.

But, my younger son had never seen it. He loved it. We watched it on a tiny portable t.v. in our room at Crater Lake. Must watch it on a much better t.v.

Loved the footage of the ride. Gave me chills. Made me sad, too. I looked forward to it so much. I remember going by the Submarin Lagoon and imagining what they were going to do.

I was disappointed in the fact that it said 'Games' and there isn't one. Right?

In case you were curious, it's spelled "Zut alors" and roughly equals shoot or darn.

My copy won't arrive until November sometime (bundled with the Cars DVD release). I never saw it first run, so it will be entirely new to me.

Why is Disney feeling the pressure/need to edit the animated features? What's objectionable in this one?

Snopes has a pretty good explanation.

Oh dear God, not to offend anyone, but yet one more reason why it was good for me to leave Virginia. These people seriously need to get a life.....

Thank you, I did put the {sp} there because I had not a clue. LOL Yep, I sure used it as 'darn'!

Thanks!

{oh, and I'll make sure and say it properly with my younger son...
