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.

A Classic in both Disney films and animation. For me, many Disney films suffer from having only a fraction of the characters being likable or interesting. This film is the complete opposite, with most of the cast, being fantastic and enjoyable. Jodi Benson owns the role of Ariel, helping bring her to life with outstanding facial animations and art. Great supporting characters as well as Pat Carroll as an excellent villain. Top it all off with arguable one of the best Disney soundtracks.

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.

Yeah. Really wouldn't mind watching this movie. The movie itself is a fantastic cinematic piece of art. But I'm most certainly not paying that much money for a digital copy when I could get it cheaper on disc ;)
