About this movie

Ariel, the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, is enchanted with all things human. Disregarding her father's order to stay away from the world above the sea, she swims to the surface and, in a raging storm, rescues the prince of her dreams. Determined to be human, she strikes a bargain with the devious sea witch Ursula and trades her fins and beautiful voice for legs. With her best friend, the adorable and chatty Flounder, and her reluctant chaperone Sebastian, the hilarious, reggae-singing Caribbean crab, at her side, Ariel must win the prince's love and save her father's kingdom - all in a heart-pounding race against time.

Ratings and reviews

This movie is so boring & makes no sense. Please don't make the mistake I made and waste 16 dollars on this film. If you go to YouTube and watch the non singing parts, you've basically seen the film. This movie has to much singing and not enough plot development. Ursula's death was way too quick and the movie felt rushed overall. How can you fall in love with someone in only 3 days?... Make it make sense. I hope the new live action version will be better because this wasn't that good.....

But not on here. The price is ridiculous. I can buy the first and second for 20 in dvd and 30 in blueray. I can only buy one on here for that price and the quality is not even that great. The movie itself is a classic and probably my favorite disney movie. The characters are likeable and you can relate to them. The story and plot of the movie is creative and fun. All together it is perfect for any age.

I fail to see why this movie is good. As a kid, it bored me to tears. It isn't because i'm a guy and this is a princess movie, I enjoy Beauty and the Beast and Anastasia. As an adult, I rewatch animated movies from my childhood, most of them I gain a new appreciation for, this movie however, will always be a boring movie.
