Review of The Little Mermaid (1989) by David L — 05 Jun 2016

With beautiful animation, great humor, excellent score, strong emotional investment and many powerful sequences, The Little Mermaid is an undisputed classic that has such lovable and incredibly well developed characters, excellent script, such a great varied tone to it and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack that is Disney's finest to date with so many amazing songs with Part of Your World, Kiss the Girl and Under the Sea being the highlights.

But the movie also has such a big heart, it also possesses such a strong, welcome fairy tale feel to it, the character interactions and relationships are superb and the film is very romantic as well. For all of those reasons, The Little Mermaid is a masterpiece and one of the best musicals ever made while also being one of the very best that Disney Animation has to offer and one of the finest animated films of all time.
