From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured that "magic" that had been dormant for thirty years. In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder. The lyrics and music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are top form: witty and relevant, and they advance the story (go on, hum a few bars of "Under the Sea"). Mermaid put animation back on the studio's "to do" list and was responsible for ushering Beauty and the Beast to theaters. A modern Disney classic. --Keith Simanton

"Day 3 - Makes you happy
My favorite Disney cartoon as a kid and not ashamed of it; it still makes me smile and I love singing along even as an adult."

"I'm not ashamed to admit that this is my favorite Disney movie; it always has been and it always will be. This movie came out when I was 4, I'm old, and I've loved it ever since. I can't really pinpoint why: the music, the story, the character-lovability factor; it's just all so good. Can't get sick of singing "Under the Sea" or "Part Of Your World" possibly the best soundtrack."
