What are we teaching our kids? Everyone says that morals are going down the drain and no wonder! Our "kids" and "family" films descreetly... and sometimes undescreetly, teach bad morals. Let's show girls how to wear sea shells on their breasts and flaunt their bodies. Let's show them how cool and great it is to do stupid things to flip for some guy you don't know and show how, in the end, it'll all be great! Wow! What a great thing to teach our kids! Yep, another classic family film! The one star is for the songs. Fantastic. Still....don't see it.

Best. Disney. Movie. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know EVERY SINGLE LINE to this entire movie!! I had Ariel everything, and I was Ariel for the school's talent show. Anyways, this is a great move with some scariness. When you first enter Ursula's cave, there are plant-like creatures that used to be mermaids, and they look very creepish! And when Ursula get's the Trident, she gets huge and almost zaps Ariel, almost stabs Eric, and turns King Trident into one of those creepish creatures I was talking about earlier. Then Eric stabs her in the heart and it is very disturbing when she's dying. But there are positive role models and messages here. GREAT MOVIEEEE!!!!!!!!

This is my beloved disney movie! It has wonderful music. The song, "Part of Your World," is really sweet and uplifting. I showed this to my four-year-old cousin and she adored it! She loves the song, "Part of Your World," as much as I do! When I first showed her the movie, I was surprised that she didn't get scared of Ursula at all! And she's only four! What makes me adore the movie was the romance between Ariel and Eric. They're so sweet together because he loves her despite her mermaid heritage and she loves him despite the bad things her dad said about humans. I like how in the movie, Ariel gets her voice back and Eric said, "you can talk! You're the one!" Then he runs up to Ariel and embraces her! Awwwww!! It is was awesome seeing Ariel and Eric saving each other. Ariel saves Eric from drowning and again from marrying Ursula. Eric saves Ariel from Ursula. They take the cake for the best ending of the disney princess movies. It's where you get to see them get married at a wedding. Other movies just end couples dancing Little Mermaid is one of the few disney movies of the Renaissance that have great comedy. You have Scuttle, the wise-cracking seagull, Sebastian, the over-worrying crab, Ursula, the evil sea witch, whose dry sense of humor has comic relief.

This is probably one of Disney's best films and is known for starting the Disney Renaisance. Ariel is a much better role model than Snow White, because she actually decides to try to find her true love at a great sacrifice to herself. Flounder and Sebastian are good friends to Ariel. Triton sacrfices his throne for his daughter. The controversy of Ariel's shell bra isn't an issue in my mind, but you know what's best for your kids. One scene where Grimbsy smokes a pipe, and Ariel blows it in his face believing what Scuttle said that it's a musical instrument.

I thought this movie was... okay. That's it. Just okay. *dodges fangirls* I love Ursula and the music, but Ariel drives me crazy. "I sold my soul for a vagina and a man I don't know!" Actually, the person who changes the most is Ariel's dad, King Triton, who goes from a selfish, overbearing, and even kind of mean dad to a kind, caring father who learns to let his daughter go and be happy.

WAY to much cleavage, and bikinis. in one scene Ariel is COMPLETELY NAKED (nothing shown exept for the side of her boobs and butt.) scary scenes for a 5 year old.

Disney's first film in what is called the Golden Age of Disney animated films truly deserves to be put up on the shelf next to the classics such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. This is a film the whole family will enjoy together. But scenes including Ursala the sea witch may frighten children.

Don't recommend this movie for anyone under 18 because it will put dumb ideas in their impressionable heads. I recommend instead watching the dubbed 80s anime of the same name, the one with the blonde mermaid. Not the newer Mermaid Melody one though; don't confuse the two. This movie has removed the morals of the original story, which was "don't try to be something you're not," "don't bite off more than you can chew," & "dire risks come with dire consequences." Originally, the prince was already engaged to a princess; an arranged marriage through their parents. In the end, the mermaid realized that everything she had done was foolish & died alone. This movie says: *Abandon your family for a chance at love. *Aim high; why marry an unattractive local you grew up with when you can marry a rich handsome stranger? *True love happens instantly, & not slowly over time. *It's totally cool to be a packrat. *If the guy you like can't accept you for who you are, has another woman on the side, & is still chasing his ideal woman, just keep trying. *Take huge risks; they totally won't blow up in your face. *Teenagers are totally old enough to make their own big life decisions.

Very scary. HORRIBLE VIOLENCE AND SCARINESS! IT'S NOT A THREE IT'S A FIVE! did anyone else notice a shark eats flounder and chases Ariel.
