Week five of my DVD of the Week post is....
Yes, The Little Mermaid Trilogy. Guys...don't be ashamed to admit, The Little Mermaid is freaking awesome. This box set of all three The Little Mermaid movies is a-ma-za-zing!! The Little Mermaid is definitely one of Disney's most known characters, and that's why I feel this is a must see/own. Yes, The Little Mermaid is the best, and the sequal(The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea), and the prequal(The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning) aren't as good. But they're still good.
The Little Mermaid: Girl is a mermaid, wants to be human, makes bad deal with wicked sea, witch, Ursala, prince saves the day, everyone lived happily ever after. This is the only one of the three that actually went to theaters, the ones following were direct-to-dvd, which is very popular with most Disney sequels.
The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea: Ariel and Prince Eric have daughter, Melody, Melody doesn't know about mermaids and is "guarded" by the sea with a giant wall, Ursala's sister, Morgana, seeks revenge, Melody is made into a mermaid and convinced that her grandpa, King Triton, stole "Morgana's" trident, Morgana gets trident, bad things happen, Melody makes everything right by getting trident back, King Triton freezes her, everyone lived happily ever after with Melody using trident to destroy the wall separating Prince Eric's kingdom from the sea.
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning: everything that went on when Ariel was young, prequel to The Little Mermaid. Bad things happened and in the end....you guessed it...everyone lived happily ever after.
One thing I hate about animation, is they try to change the actors who voice thinking you won't notice. But, you do. And that's what's awesome about The Little Mermaid trilogy, even though there is almost twenty years between the Original and the prequel, Jodi Benson voice Ariel for each and every one. I don't mind so much about the supporting characters, but the main character the shows revolve around is very important.
And to end on some AWESOME news...with the recent success of Disney's live-action version Alice in Wonderland, it was just recently announced that Joe Wright(director of Atonement, Soloist, and Pride & Prejudice) will helm a live action adaption of The Little Mermaid, supposedly being released in 2012.
