Bought this for my 2 year old knowing I love the movie. Received a bootleg copy that will not play in any of the 3 Blu Ray / DVD players we own. Actually locks them up so that I have to unplug them just to restart the player to get it to open to get the disk out. Not sure what the problem is, but definitely a bogus copy. Disk has rough edges which is odd. Just wanted a movie that worked.

Disney's 1989 animated film THE LITTLE MERMAID is a very formidable movie, surpassing the combined visual and musical artistic talents of all concerned. Character development is one of the strong points of THE LITTLE MERMAID achieved through concise dialogue, music and simplistic yet effective images. However, most effective to the success of this film are the songs that advance the story line and define the characters. That was the brilliance of lyricist Howard Ashman's contribution to THE LITTLE MERMAID. He and composer Alan Menken developed songs that in several minutes clearly define Ariel's reckless but innocent curiosity about the humans above and her yearning to discover that world. Every song in THE LITTLE MERMAID bolsters the depth of the characters, advances the plot or enhances the significance of a scene in addition to being very melodic and well written. So in THE LITTLE MERMAID we are given a substantial amount of information and entertainment in a minimum amount of time. There is not a single frame of wasted footage in this film. The combined effort is one of a splendid and effortless looking perfect creation of a classical animated Disney tale.Read full review
Not my favorite movie, but it is good. For those of you who do not want to know the story do not read on. This is for parents to know what to expect when showing the movie to the children: DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW SOME OF THE EVENTS IN THE MOVIE: She's a mermaid who finds objects we normally see as trash like a fork and they have a weird name and use it as a fork... it's sort of funny. She has a crab as well as a fish for friends. She falls in love with a prince. She wishes to be a human and get's her wish, but I will leave you hanging from there.... :)
Thank you so much. I have always loved The Little Mermaid! 🧜♀️ I am slowly collecting them for my daughter. Brings back such great memories of when I was a kiddo! Haha. Take care.

It stops and freezes on one of the piracy warnings. It did it 3 times so I finally went to scene select room and I skipped forward. Not one DVD has ever messed up in this player and I can guarantee not even 30 movies have been played in it it's that new. We'll see on other players.

I cannot review this movie. I love it far too much to give an objective opinion. However, I'm not sure too many people know the original story of the little mermaid so I thought I would put that on here in my own words. The little mermaid's name has changed many times, when it isn't Ariel, sometimes it's Pearl or something else. The prince was never named either. The little mermaid saved the prince from the sinking ship and brought him ashore and fell in love with him. She went back to the sea and found the sea witch and asked to become human. The sea witch actually tried to talk her out of it. She could be made to have legs but every step she took with them would feel like razor blades going through her feet. I think she was still given three days in this original story but she had three days for him to marry her and commit himself only to her. If on the third day, she failed, she would be turned into sea foam. This was especially tragic because mermaids were immortal. The mermaid decided to go ahead with it anyway and had to give up her voice as a price. The prince found her and grew fond of her, but did not fall in love with her. He did not understand that it was she who saved him from the ship. Meanwhile, he was engaged to marry the princess of a neighboring kingdom. The mermaid befriended her as well and when she discovered she couldn't win the prince's love, although she was heartbroken, she still loved the princess as well for her kind heart. The little mermaid's sisters heard of the promise she made and wanted to save her so they went to the sea witch as well. For the price of their hair, the sea witch gave them a dagger which the little mermaid would have to use on the prince and princess in their bed on their wedding night. If she did this, she could go back to the sea as a mermaid once more. The sisters begged her to do this but when she approached their bed, she saw how beautiful and in love they were and couldn't do it. She then disappeared. But she did NOT turn into sea foam. Because her sacrifice was so great and her heart so full, she became a sea spirit who watched over the prince and princess for all their days and over all the sea. So yeah, I can see why Disney changed it because it's pretty depressing. The Shelley Duvall Faerie Tale Theatre collection did follow this story and it's pretty sad to watch. Everyone should go out and buy the Disney version! At least for the crazy chef. That cracks me up.Read full review
Received this is a good time length however my daughter only watched it one time and when I went to get it out of the case to put it on for her it completely broke and made my daughter sad because the really wanted to watch it. I've owned movies and never once has a disc broken that way on me.

You must see this one of the Original Classic Disney Princess films! Another great Hans Christian Anderson story altered to cater to the typical Disney "good" ending, with all of the Disney magic that we have acquired a taste for over the years. Princess Ariel, King Triton of the Deep's daughter, having just turned 16, has a pinchot for things from the land. She makes a deal with the Sea Witch to become human, but only for a short 3 days, with conditions. She has to get her beloved Prince Eric to kiss her before the sun sets on the third day or she will become property of the Sea Witch. Of course, the Sea Witch doesn't want Ariel, she is after "bigger" fish, King Triton himself. Great musical soundtrack! If you have little girls, like I do, you will enjoy watching this with them for the first time. I have 3 and 4 year-old girls who were simply glued to this film for the entire duration!Read full review
