Wonderful Movie
Added 11/9/2009
I just finished watching this movie, and I can't understand all the negative reviews! It was gorgeous, it was catchy, it was imaginative...it was everything I hoped it would be and more! I loved seeing Ariel and her sisters as children with their mother and father, and I loved how the story gave them more screen time. When I was little I always wondered what the individual sisters were like. Flounder is cute and funny in this movie. I also really liked Benjamin, he's just so cute and matter-of-fact. This movie also has several scenes that pay homage to the original, such as Flounder getting stuck in a hole and Ariel pushing him out. The only thing I could complain about is that the story was so direct and simple, like a 30 minute cartoon that got extended. I'm not really sure how to put it, I don't mean it in a bad way. It's like a really epic and gorgeously animated extended episode...or something, yeah? Well, I don't know what I'm saying on that last part, but watch it and love it!

Disc damaged
Added 11/2/2009
Disc damaged and does not play all the way through, though it was supposed to be new. Dad of 3-yr-old says, "She doesn't have clue" and loves it anyway. Dad says more trouble than it is worth to try to get an exchange.

Totally exceeded expectations
Added 10/19/2009
Totally exceeded expectations, love the Little Mermaid series, much more than I thought I would, very nice, always about standing up for what is right and being a friend, very surprised to see Ariel's mom, thought they could have had more of that part, maybe even a whole nother movie about her mom.

I think this is great prequel. I haven't seen the Disney series, so I can't comment on how it compares to that... and I agree that Flounder's new personality is a mistake, but I can't listen to "I remember" without choking up. Every time.

The Little Mermaid 3 - Ariel's Beginning
Added 9/11/2009
Great sequel. Straight to DVD but great animation and a very good story. If your kids likes the Little Mermaid he/she will love this movie, too. It doesn't disappoint.
