Absolutely superb!

“I also recommend the TV series, but not the sequel. I still think that Tarzan is the last great Disney movie, but pretty much everything else after lacks the magic that Disney once had, as far as I'm concerned.(with the exception of the surprisingly good Fantasia 2000, Bambi 2 and Emperor's New Groove) 10 years ago, this was one of my all-time favourites. I remember, every time I went swimming, I felt really inspired to be a mermaid. That's the effect this movie and the TV series had on me. The animation is absolutely gorgeous, especially the underwater scenes, and the storm. The script is intelligent and witty, and everyone involved did a marvellous job putting it across. The songs are fantastic, as always with Alan Menken. In fact, the only score of Alan Menken's I don't like is "Home on” read more

Film Diary 2023 (74 movies items)

"23.1. In many ways this pioneered the Renaissance era Disney musicals, but I don't think it's nearly as good as those other films, mostly because the main character is such an empty husk without any arc, she just wants stuff and gets it without any visible change. It makes me laugh that Alan Menken, the Disney's very own Mozart who also started his partnership with the company here, was hired because the producers loved Little Shop of Horrors, which he also worked on. I mean the same guy who "

"This movie basically rescued Disney from their dark age, ushering in what's commonly called the Disney Renaissance. I didn't grow up with this one, but there's still more than enough to enjoy as an adult. It succeeds in the same way as Snow White and Cinderella before it: it's a fairytale without any pretence. The animation is stellar, as is the music. Ursula the devious sea witch is by far one of Disney's best villains. The climax is a little too brief for me, but it's still easy to see why peo"
