While the movie, The Little Mermaid was originally in theatres back in 1989, over 20 years ago, the story is just as appealing to my 8 year old daughter as it was to me when I first saw it (and I was in grade 9).
The Little Mermaid was one of the first (if not THE first) movie that I was allowed to go see by myself (well, with friends, unsupervised).
I can’t wait to watch it over and over and over again with my children.

About The Little Mermaid:
Ariel (voiced by Jodi Benson), is a free-spirited mermaid, who is off on the adventure of a lifetime with her best friend, the adorable Flounder (voiced by Jason Marin), and the reggae-singing Caribbean crab Sebastian (voiced by Samuel E.
