The Story of The Little Mermaid (1989)

The Little Mermaid opened in theaters on November 17, 1989, and returned for a re-release on November 14, 1997. Ariel lives in the undersea kingdom of Atlantica, where she collects human objects and dreams about life on the surface, even though her father, King Triton, forbids any contact with humans.

After Ariel rescues Prince Eric from a shipwreck, she strikes a bargain with Ursula. She trades her voice for human legs for three days, and she must win true love's kiss before time runs out. Buddy Hackett voices Scuttle, Jason Marin voices Flounder, and René Auberjonois plays Chef Louis.

The film marked the start of the Disney Renaissance, a run of revitalized animated features from the studio.

Songs, Awards and the Diamond Edition

Alan Menken composed the score and the music for the songs, with lyrics by Howard Ashman. The film won two Academy Awards, for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "Under the Sea", and "Kiss the Girl" was also nominated. "Part of Your World" remains one of its best-known numbers.

Disney released the Diamond Edition on October 1, 2013, in three versions: a three-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo, this two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo and a 3D Blu-ray.
