- Siskel and Ebert reviews an American animated musical romantic fantasy film Disney's "The Little Mermaid"
November 17, 1989. Starring the voices of Jodi Benson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, and the others.
It is the 28th Disney animated feature film, it is also based on the 1837 Danish fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Anderson, and it is the first movie to be produced during the Disney Renaissance.
Both of them really enjoyed this film for a classic cartoon animation, a great musical songs such as "Under The Sea", "Part of Your World", and more, the very strong story, the characters are truly memorable, and the voice acting by actors and actresses. Roger actually loved it a lot as he put on his list for one of the best Disney movies of 1989. I totally agree with Roger, it is my favorite Disney fairytale film of the 80s from my childhood. Thumbs way up for me on "The Little Mermaid".
The Little Mermaid (1989) 4/4 👍👍👍👍

And the best part is that over 30 years later Siskel and Ebert's praise still rings true. The film is still masterpiece and cannot be replaced by a low budget overbloated CGI fest or anything else. This movie was our childhood and has been passed down to our children and will be passed down to theirs.
I miss these guys, I hate that they are both dead. They would have eloquently hate this film
agreed
They're saying that "The Little Mermaid" is really just like the early Disney films which was what made it so enjoyable. That's because the early ones were done by Walt Disney. "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Aladdin" were all made possible by the brilliant Howard Ashman who had the same kind of imagination and creative mind as Walt Disney. Howard had been a fan of Disney since he was little. He wanted to return Disney to it's original roots, the way it was when they made films like "Snow White," "Pinocchio," "Cinderella," and "Peter Pan." And looks like he did... for a while anyway.
Roy E. Disney, the man's uncle, called Ashman, "another Walt".
I kind of wish Ashman was still alive. Imagine all the great films he could have created.
@@jacksonseyl1063 These live action remakes may have actually been decent if he were here to guide them too.
@@jacksonseyl1063I wish Walt was still alive!
I'm so grateful that I grew during this period.
It's interesting to hear them talk about this - Under the sea did win the best song Oscar - but growing up later we take these things for granted. We had no idea it was the start of a Disney Renaissance and so many films with memorable songs.
Love The Little Mermaid, one of my favorite Disney movies!
Me, too.
Mine too!
3:48-4:00 Me, too, Roger. Ariel is one of my all time favorite characters for how she's not just some dumb damsel in distress waiting to be rescued and letting a man do all of the work for her, making her different from the other Disney princesses. She's adventurously outgoing, just like me, willing to see the good in humans, lovable, brave, and yes her looks and voice brings a smile to my face.
So true. Ariel is the most underrated Prinsess in fiction.
The other Disney princess are not dumb demsel in distress that just waits for a Prince to save them they are all hard working women that stays positive in their situations. I also, love ariel.
I would say "damsel in distress" only really applies to the three classic Princesses, Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora. The Princesses since Ariel have been far more than damsels in distress waiting to be rescued by a man. That's the laziest anti-Disney strawman.
@@TimeandMonotony Snow White, Aurora, and Cinderella are all positive female characters. All because they get help from others doesn't make them bad characters. Also, because they're marrying men doesn't make them bad either, people should stop with the men hating I mean come on are we really going to hate people marry for love to a guy is really bad.
@@frannyc7248 When did I say any of that? Snow, Cinderella and Aurora don't get enough credit, I agree, but that doesn't mean they're not damsels in distress. I think most people would agree the later DPs are more proactive.
And I have no idea where you got the notion I was saying there's anything wrong with marrying a man.

30 Years Of Disney Magic Family Fun Action Adventure And Excitement. X
I remember they used to show us this movie all the time in Elementary. Masterpiece.
Enjoyable Disney film with fun musical songs like "under the sea", delightful story & well-drawn picture. Beginning to the end I enjoy it.
@trha2222 No, we do not.
They were spot on this film is a masterpiece and I think Beauty And The Beast and The Lion King were also fantastic. The songs are the highlights.
Along with Pinocchio, snow White & 7 dwarfs, 101 Dalmatians, Hunchback of notre dame, lion king, Aladdin & Beauty & the beast, The Little Mermaid is enjoyable to watch any time of the year.
agreed
If I was alive back then, I would have said Ursula was Disney’s best villain since Maleficent.
No one gives any credit to the MCP from TRON.
Ariel combined the super old Disney classics Snow White and modern characters. It was perfect for its time - no wonder it catapulted (!) Disney back on track
I just saw this movie for the first time today, I actually haven't seen most of the disney classics and I fucking loved it 100% 10/10
It’s a real classic and an animated masterpiece unlike the cash grab dumpster fire remake. Jodi Benson > Halle Bailey. 🧜🏻♀️
@@timothymorris157 I think they’re both great but yes the animated one is better
@@timothymorris157 I think that cash grab dumpster remake is also, a fantastic movie! I mean Seriously, you notice that in the video, Siskel said that the best musical number in the original, was Under the Sea. Well, I'm saying that about the remake as well! The best part of the remake is Under the Sea!
Wait a minute Gene, can you repeat that Please? "This is a film for ALL ages." YOU ALL HEARD HIM! An animated Film for ALL.
RIP Pat Carroll and Samuel E Wright
My Favorite Disney Fairytale film of the 90s
This is from the 80’s
I would have loved to have seen them review Zootopia. Sadly, it was not to be.
It's such a shame that they passed away years apart from each-other.

@@kathymoriarty1441 everyone hopes for a movie review show like theirs.
Even though I still love it as much now as I did back then, my greatest memory of The Little Mermaid isn’t so much the animation, story, characters, or soundtrack as it is seeing the screen turn blood red after a projection malfunction at the theater in my hometown during its premiere. Thankfully they were able to fix the problem and resume the movie as quickly as possible.
I am not a big fan of this movie but I agree that they made the movie brilliantly from start to finish. Siskel is absolutely right about everything about this movie. And this movie is great for everyone of all ages.
So did they know this film's impact and it's timelessness!
Two Most Enthusiastic Thumbs Up for The Little Mermaid a Disney animated feature cartoon as good as the classic ones they’ve made.
P.S., Siskel, Ebert, and I really loved "The Little Mermaid" over Eddie Murphy's "Harlem Nights".
i didn't know till the other day
Harlem Nights is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
@@zacharysiple629 why
@@MrGabeanator It had it's moments(I loved the fight with Eddie Murphy and Della Reese) but the story was mostly a bore to me or not well written.
Also, while I don't always mind this, the language was a bit too much. Eddie Murphy is a great actor, not so much on the filmmaker end. Mind you, he co-wrote Norbit, which I think is alrigght.
I'd give HN a 4/10.
I was just a baby when this movie came out at the cinemas, but I grew up watching it on VHS. I would love to time travel and watch it on the big screen, is one of my favourite Disney films and films of all time!
You were born in '89?
Me, too. I can imagine the impact the movie had back when it fist came out. I would so go back in time and experience the influence the movie made in theaters.
@@bradyanderson6311 '88
@@jonnyboy4289 Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind going back and watch all of the Disney Renaissance movies back at the cinema, ha
@@fcv4616 Me too. In fact the only Disney Renesance film I saw on the big screen in theaters was Beauty and the Beast in 2012 (in 3D).
"The force of EeEEEeviIL in this story" is what I want on my tombstone.
Huge fan of this movie ❤
I remember trailer of my all-time favorite disney princess flim The Little Mermaid when I was a 5 year old child since 2006
childhood favorite
"Crab with a reggae beat."
I love the way old critics described things to the masses
I can't wait to see the live action Little Mermaid in theaters Friday May 26!
Really? Lol no thanks. Nothing can replace this classic for me.
That one's also fantastic! Saw it today a second time!
The animation is beautiful in this movie despite me not getting into it
2:13 China did that for Disney.
Maddox has an interesting critique of this Disney hit. They removed Hans Christian Anderson's sad ending thereby missing the whole point of the story. Not to mention that the Disney version borrowed heavily from an anime version from 1975.
ua-cam.com/video/ex_dIzH4_ec/v-deo.html
It better then the previous princess that didn't do anything she the first one to have dream of being human save the prince and be strong and independent not waiting for things to happen that bring back childhood memorys
Ariel being strong and independent and not being the princess who does little to nothing and being far more than a damsels in distress waiting to be rescued by a man is why Ariel is among one of my all time favorite characters. So, you took the words out of my mouth.
@@TheMan05555 How so?
Well Cinderella wanted to be free just like Quasimodo. Of course she negotiated with Lady Tremaine that she can go to the ball if she gets her work done. Of course when her stepsisters ripped Cinderella’s dress and when the Fairy Godmother fixed her dress and provided her ride, Cinderella went to the ball and risked public humiliation. And during the time when the search for the girl who lost the slipper was happening and when imprisoned by Lady Tremaine, Cinderella told the birds to get Bruno as he’s the only one who can stop Lucifer. And due to her intelligence of keeping a glass slipper a secret, she showed the other slipper to the Duke after the other one got broken. This allows Cinderella to escape and marry Prince Kit.
Goes to show that Cinderella is NOT a passive damsel as I explained what she did in the movie that many people misinterpret it nowadays. She was somewhat a step forward as feminism for Disney Princess goes but sadly, the next one was a HUGE step back for feminism, which would be Aurora from Sleeping Beauty as her film focuses on her Fairy Godmothers and to some extent, Maleficent and Prince Phillip.
And then they had to do a woke remake once the leftists took over....
A spoiled, disobedient girl, nearly loses the entire kingdom to the evil seawitch, and still gets her happy ending. And the "strong, independent" female still needed a Prince to save her.
