The Little Mermaid
Ron Clements, John Musker, USA, 1989o
This colorful adventure tells the story of an impetuous mermaid princess named Ariel who falls in love with the very human Prince Eric and puts everything on the line for the chance to be with him. Memorable songs and characters -- including the villainous sea witch Ursula.
The Little Mermaid revitalized the notion of what can be achieved with pen and ink, and once again put Disney in an unreachable top spot as the undisputed king of animation studios.
James KendrickEverything is just right in this cheerful adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen tale ... In addition to reviving the animated art form, The Little Mermaid also brought melody back to the movies.
