Yay. Adaptations do change up the source material. And, I have really enjoyed all of Disney’s live action remakes. Their The Jungle Book, Aladdin, and Beauty And The Beast remakes are even better than the original animated movies.
I’m indifferent to the Disney live action remakes. Last one I saw was the Lion King remake, so I won’t go myself unless my friends or gf want me to come see it. I don’t hate them, they just make me appreciate the originals more. Edit: Also I believe Melissa McCarthy is Ursula and I’m not about it. Contradicts what I said about being indifferent, but I’ve never liked her acting and I’ve been forced to watch Bridesmaids too many times in college.
I remember my Mom took me and my sister to the movies to see this one. She was just expecting to pass the time with the kids, honestly. She came out of the theater saying “Wow!!! That’s EXCELLENT!! I LOVE it!!” Little note: Sebastian’s song “Under The Sea” won the Oscar for Best Song in 1990.
The beginning of the Disney Renaissance. I honestly didn’t appreciate this film until my adulthood because being a boy I had the “oh this is more for girls” mentality. But this is a brilliant film with one of the most iconic soundtracks thanks to Ashman and Menken, and Ariel being the first self-actualizing female lead. And of course Glen Keane being one of the lead characters designers is a plus.
Yes!! Love your honesty ☺️ I too fell into the same mindset with all the merchandise that's out there regarding this film .. and how I unconsciously skewed the film to be something it wasn't ... Soooo glad I was WRONG 😁
And you can tell by how much work they put into it. They really spared no expense and pulled out all stops and it shows. For 1989 this is an artistic masterpiece ❤
1. Some facts about Little Mermaid when it came out this was when People knew Disney was back on the animation map as while their two previous animated films Great Mouse Detective and Oliver and Company were both well received with critics and box office numbers it wasn’t anything spectacular then this came out and not only did Disney film finally beat out Don Bluth who was competing with them by releasing his films the same time as Disneys with An American Tail being released around the same time as Great Mouse and Land Before Time the same time as Oliver and Company. He released All Dogs Go to Heaven and was blown out of the water by this one, 2. At the time this film had the most sound effects of any film, 3. This film won two Oscars for Best Original Song for Under the Sea and for Best Original Score which made it the first Disney film since Bedknobs and Broomsticks to win an Oscar and the first animated Disney film to be nominated for an Oscar since The Rescuers, 4. Howard Ashman besides working on the songs with Alan Menken also helped with the story such as originally Sebastian was originally supposed to be an English Butler crab named Clarence, but changed to a Trinidadian as well as the name and as a result the whole musical tone also shifted to match that although commonly confused as being Jamaican, Sebastian is actually Trinidadian. Samuel E. Wright confirmed that was in fact the accent he used while voicing by the character. 5. Part of Your World" was nearly cut; Jeffrey Katzenberg felt that it was "boring," as well as being too far over the heads of the children for whom it was intended. At a test screening children were restless during the song which did not have finished animation - in particular one child that sat in front of Katzenberg and spilled his popcorn and was more interested in picking it up than watching the sequence. John Musker, Ron Clements, and Howard Ashman all pleaded their case and begged Katzenberg to let the song stay to no avail. Ultimately, the one who managed to convince him to give it a second chance was the animator of the sequence, Glen Keane. Another screening was set up, this time with an adult audience. It was a greater success (even reportedly moving some members to tears) and so the song was left in the film. Katzenberg later said that he was happy no one listened to him because he couldn't imagine the film without the song. 6. The voice of Grimsby is Ben Wright who was in a previous Disney film as Roger in 101 Dalmatians and while not Disney people will also know him as the lead Nazi Herr Zeller in The Sound of Music and this was his last film released after his death and Disney folks had no idea that he had been the voices of Roger in One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and Rama in The Jungle Book (1967). He had to tell them. 7. Similar to Beauty and the Beast during Walt’s life The Little Mermaid had been a Disney property since 1941. Walt Disney planned to include the much darker Hans Christian Andersen version of the tale in a planned anthology film of the fantasy author's works. After a bitter strike by the animators that same year and the increasing focus on World War 2 wartime propaganda shorts, the initial version of The Little Mermaid was shelved in 1943 8. Ariel is the first Disney princess to have biological siblings and Ariel is purposely made to stand out from her sisters. Firstly, she's the only redhead and the only one who wears her hair down. Secondly, she's the only mermaid whose seashell top isn't the same color as her tail. Finally, although all of Triton's daughters have names that begin with the letter 'A', Ariel's is the only one whose name doesn't also end with that letter and she was made a redhead to distinguish her from Darryl Hannah’s live action mermaid in an earlier Disney Touchstone film with Tom Hanks called Splash, 9. One neat easter egg is when in the concert audience in the beginning and Triton is going down in his chariot if you look closely not only can you see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy in the audience, but also Kermit the Frog and if you haven’t seen the Muppet films yet so I would recommend them and go in release order they are hot connected, but it is a nice progression, 10. The film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker who also did The Great Mouse Detective, Aladdin, Hercules, Treasure Planet, Princess and the Frog, and Moana, 11. Jodi Benson recorded “Part of Your World" in the dark to get that 'under the sea' feeling. 12. This film was the last to use all hand painted cels for the animation as Disney's next film, The Rescuers Down Under (which is a sequel to a film from the 70’s they did called The Rescuers) used a digital method of coloring and combining scanned drawings developed for Disney by Pixar called CAPS/ink & paint (Computer Animation Production System), which would eliminate the need for cels, the multiplane camera, and many of the optical effects used for the last time in The Little Mermaid. 13. Before recording "Poor Unfortunate Souls," Pat Carroll asked Howard Ashman to sing the song one more time to get it right. He happily obliged. According to Carroll, he "put on the cloak" and she admits to stealing his body language and two or three adlibs from him ("Pathetic," "Idn't it," "You can't get something for nothing," and "No more talking, singing, zip-pah.") 14. The character of Ursula was based on drag performer and John Waters regular Divine. Her personality and some of her actions were also largely inspired by a previous Disney villain, Madame Medusa from Disney's The Rescuers. 15. The animators created the character of Ursula for Bea Arthur, who declined as she was occupied with The Golden Girls. Jennifer Saunders then auditioned for the role of Ursula but was turned down. Somehow in 2002, Steven Spielberg got hold of her tape and insisted to the three directors of Shrek 2 that she be cast as the scheming Fairy Godmother. After Bea Arthur turned down the chance to voice Ursula, Nancy Marchand, Sylvia Sidney, Nancy Wilson, Roseanne Barr, Coral Browne, Charlotte Rae and Elaine Stritch were all then considered with the latter eventually being cast in the part; however, Stritch's style clashed with that of lyricist Howard Ashman so Pat Carroll got the part 16. The dress Ariel wears during her dinner with Eric is actually a combination of different dresses worn by every Disney princess prior to her. The puffy sleeves with the diamond designs are similar to the sleeves on Snow White's iconic dress. The light pink color comes from Cinderella's mother's dress (the one the stepsisters rip apart). The full skirt and draping are from Cinderella's famous ball gown. Finally, the off-the-shoulder neckline and long, pointed sleeves were inspired by Princess Aurora's royal ball gown. 17. Scheduling conflicts with Star Trek: The Next Generation forced Patrick Stewart to turn down the role of King Triton. 18. Sebastian's fanfare was performed by composer Alan Menken on a kazoo. 19. The shot of Ariel reaching out through the skylight of her grotto at the end of "Part of Your World" was the last shot to be completed. It took four tries to get the optical effects just right. 20. Ariel is the first Disney animated heroine to have a bare midriff, as well as the first to display cleavage. 21. In Greek mythology, Triton is the son of Poseidon. Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. Zeus had a son named Heracles, who is the main hero of Hercules. This makes Disney heroes Ariel and Hercules first cousins once removed. 22. When The Little Mermaid earned four Golden Globe nominations in 1990, it not only became the first full-length animated feature film to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, but it also became the first animated feature to be nominated for a Best Picture Golden Globe Award, of any genre, in general. Even though it did not win, Disney's Beauty and the Beast would later on to become the first animated feature film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), two years later. 23. Both Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick auditioned for the role of Prince Eric, but Christopher Daniel Barnes who ended up voicing him was only 16 years old when he recorded his voice for Prince Eric the producers felt his voice sounded much older than he really was. 24. Maybe I’m an idiot for not realizing it, but when Ursula disguised herself and is using Ariel’s voice that is Jodi Benson doing the voice since it is her,
My nephew Jack likes the Ursula character. She is quite a memorable villain. The actress Pat Caroll had always played funny and kind characters and relished the idea of playing Ursula. Tom Hanks did a live action movie with Ms. Daryl Hannah called Splash. His character Alan finally meets a wonderful woman. She just happens to be a mermaid. It’s a comedy and featured John Candy from Trains, Planes and Automobiles and Uncle Buck.
Ursula is quite a character indeed ... Would love to have seen more of her ☺️ Splash sounds interesting, think I've seen a poster of it sometime ago, might check it out! Thanks for bringing it up 😊
"You'll have your looks. Your pretty face and don't underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE. Ha!" Fun Fact: It's possible that Prince Eric could be related to Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty (1959). In the dining room in Eric's castle on Ariel's first evening on land, there is a painting hanging on the wall. The couple bear a striking resemblance to Aurora and Phillip.
I grew up with this movie, it’ll always have a special place in my heart. It was great to see you watch it! And I’m glad you voiced my own thoughts: there really aren’t enough movies that take place underwater. Seems like there’s so much untapped potential, I wonder why more directors aren’t taking advantage of it. One of the biggest reasons I still watch this movie from time to time is the incredible animation. 😱 It’s so smooth and flawless!
I agree with everything you mentioned! And me too! Underwater is so much cooler than just sharks (Jaws did it for me). But honestly, this film is so gorgeous, and to see it played out with almost equal parts underwater and above ground ... 🔥
When this movie came out in '89, Disney animation was considered to have hit absolute bottom with 1985's "The Black Cauldron", and '86's "The Great Mouse Detective" was good, but still too rooted in the old 70's style. But when that ship first came out of that fog with a rousing Broadway-style number, it was a thunderbolt to Disney fans--All the mania over "Beauty & the Beast" came later, when grownups could admit in public that they liked Disney movies again.
I was eight when this came out. I don't know if that's when I first saw it and obviously she's been like my favorite Disney princess, the one I relate to the most
I have a little vid from when I was young where I said “I’m watching little girl… little mermaid” It was my fave until I saw beauty and the beast and the Hunchback of Notre dame
The Little Mermaid The Return to the Sea it will be in the live streaming action movie I can't wait until I will see it out very often shortly after it comes out in the Theaters
Thank you for appreciating this movie the way it deserves to be appreciated. You didn't get caught up in all the bad faith misconceptions about this movie. You actually thought about what was going on. Although I don't know if you've picked up on the fact that Eric is under a trance by Ursula. I have faith in you though. 😊
The original story was more tragic. The other woman was innocent and the prince married her so the little mermaid was given the choice to kill him and live or become sea foam. She became sea foam.
If you’re up for nightmare fuel, I did a cover of Part of Your World on my channel, it’s one of the more recent videos so no need to go digging. But I did it with the Snapchat faceswap filter, and heads up… it does NOT look good 😂 but I do a hell of an Ariel impression lol
Loved this reaction! Gone With the Wind 1939 is an incredible movie and the greatest classic ever (live action ), and the Sword in the Stone (animation) 1963 is good as well. :)
@@latenightswithsammy "The Great Mouse Detective" which I've mentioned before, but has actually been mentioned by James Moyner here, is really worth seeing. Incredible Disney film.

This was a HUGE film for Disney at the time. It basically made their studio super relevant again after many years.
What a revival! 😁 Brilliant stuff!
