The Little Mermaid3 And A Half Out Of 5The Little Mermaid is a Disney Animated feature that focuses on gender equality and the conflicts that it may breed whilst grasping the policy. As always, the animation features are finely detailed and covers up their trajectory of the character with an elaborative plan that is exhilarating and just pure fun to encounter. It is rich on technical aspects like songs, background score, editing and cinematography of the animation that is created with thought-provoking ideas implanted wisely that speaks about the characteristics of its three dimensional characters. The script is gripping and engaging, offering each and every individual character enough range and room to factor in effectively and leave an impression. The writing is strong and smart as it doesn't install humor just to draw in more viewers and instead lets the storyline flow independently which is the primary reason why it can go intense and still be bright, light and breezy. The underwater world depicted in here has gone through various tests and thoughts that is clearly visible on screen and helps lure its younger audience in easily and gets them hooked within first few minutes of the feature. The Little Mermaid is not so little, not so fictitious due to its pragmatic three dimensional character along with a nail-biting plot track that helps keep the audience on the edge of the seat.

The Little Mermaid is easily one of my favorite Disney films. It ranks up there with Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Hercules for my favorites. This is just one of the most beautiful animated films ever made. Brilliant songs, with brilliant visuals. I grew up with this movie. 8/10

Credited with really starting Disney's animated Renaissance, my wife was determined to make me watch this with her over the festive holiday. How could I resist?Adapted from the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, it's excellent family entertainment, with a suitably sympathetic pair of young lovers at the heart of its story, a disagreeably bad villain in the guise of the wicked witch of the sea and a fine soundtrack of catchy songs perfectly in simpatico with the plot.Of course the under-the-sea settings with its exotic creatures give the animators plenty of scope for colour, imagination and flair and they don't let us down. I wasn't sure the story required that Ariel actually lose her voice for a significant period of time, but if it's in the original story (and I haven't checked) then fair enough, I suppose.There's nothing earth-shatteringly original in this movie which looks backward to Disney's glorious fairy-tale legacy of youthful innocence being corrupted by some evil menace going all the way back to Snow White, but modernised as here with some good jokes and today's music, it happily updates the studio's legacy and of course set the path for the great successes the studio and its PIXAR affiliate has enjoyed ever since.
