First Time Watching The Little Mermaid - An absolute classic, iconic and brilliant movie 

Ursula was actually based on the drag queen "Divine", she has so much charisma lol

Triton is a good dad. Though he had his issues with humans (can we blame him?), even Ursula knew he would give everything for his daughter. With his disturbing temper and simultaneous endless love for his child, he's a great character.

So most people believe that Ursula is king triton sister that turned evil because she couldn't be Queen. She got tentacles when she turned to dark magic.

10:30 "Typical I want song" TYPICAL?! Dude this STARTED that trend Disney made. It wasn't as popular before but it certainly was with this movie! Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are talented! (RIP Howard) This song is BEAUTIFUL! (No hate btw this is just a comment I like you videos!)

That was a fun trip down memory lane. As someone else said, guppy = baby fish. And when Louis was singing, "Les poissons" is French for "the fish".

even if i'm in my 40s and i haven't seen this in a long time, i'm 80% sure i can recite the script alongside the movie. Ariel was my first animated crush when i was a kid.

Ursula is the most charismatic Disney villainess!

For all those saying Triton is a good dad, keep in mind his arch. To start, he definitely has a temper. Not saying he was abusive, to his daughters as a whole, but he had an entire musical totting praise upon him, and everytime someone has bad news to give him, or he gets upset everyone is immediately looking at him to see how angry he is getting. He probably caused the hurricane that sunk Eric’s boat just bc his daughter didn’t remember to go to the performance and thus Embarrassed him. So the crab’s fear is leget. However, after the grotto scene, and Ariel disappearing, and the whole , thing with Ursela, I think he finally learned some chill and temper regulation. Still fear for the shotgun talk with any potential bf of his other daughters. He might not be overprotective anymore, but he’s still going to be protective I bet. Yay character growth!

"You deserve all the amphibious women you can handle" 😆 HISHE just put out their Little Mermaid video: it even addresses how Flounder moved that frickin statue

Pat Carroll did a great job as Ursula. She actually returned for the sequel, a direct to video production and did an equally great job with that one. Of course I won't spoil how that works, but if you ever watch that movie you will understand it quite easily, I guess.

3:11 Well... kind of? In Greek mythology, Triton was the *son* of Poseidon (the latter of which was renamed Neptune by the Romans), and this was alluded to in a later _SpongeBob_ episode, where Triton is the rebellious teenage son of King Neptune.

The Little Mermaid was the first movie in the Disney renaissance, it helped reinvigorate the company and re-established more interest in the fan base again with its popular songs. It was like the Frozen of the 90s. Ariels “Part of Your World” was really the blueprint to every future Disney film where the character expresses their goals and desires at the start of the movie. It truly is one of the most iconic films ever!

In the scene in the beginning where Ariel’s father is coming in for the performance you can see Mickey, Goofy, and Donald in the audience. Happy Birthday Sarah!

In a cut scene it was revealed that Ursula is Triton's sister and Ariel's aunt, but they decided to not pursue Ursula's motivations very far. I love the idea that she is a kicked out concubine, though!

Jodie Benson plays Ariel!! She also did the voice for Vanessa, so when she was singing in the mirror before the wedding, it was Jodie Benson ! Loved the reaction, glad you liked it!! ❤️

Small live bearing fish = guppie. But I think Ariel means scaredy cat when using term sometimes

Jodi Benson also voiced Ariel and Vanessa, she’s the only one to voice a Princess and a villain. I didn’t know that before

Lmao “the black fish she sings” the collective forehead smack 😅

Ursula is one of my favorite Disney villains. She made a deal with Ariel and she kept to it, faithfully. Not only that but she was completely upfront with all the terms, costs, and consequences. She didn't hide anything. And her interference by stealing Eric away wasn't against the deal they made. She played, completely by the rules she set and Ariel agreed to. That makes her kind of unique.

6:59 ... " I'd call it a chaswazzer." I sure hope someone else gets that!!! Best reference quote in a generation 😅

2:32 "We sail the ocean blue, and our saucy ships' a..." Wait, that was *another* classic musical about forbidden love.

It is fantastic seeing so many people enjoy this classic masterpiece for the first time. I've been watching it since I was a kid. I am 36 now, and still love it. Ariel is my favorite Disney princess with Rapunzel being the second.

Triton is so ripped because he's supposed to be like the God Neptune. 🧜‍♂️🔱

This is an icon and spawned a new era of Disney animation when many were questioning its future, so fun to see you review it! Also, Happy Birthday Sarah!

Happy birthday, Sarah!! This was my first favorite Disney movie, saw it when it came out in theatres when I was a kid. I had a little mermaid lunchbox and thermos set and an Ariel watch. Excited to see you watching this for the first time! You’re right, it’s a classic! 🧜🏼‍♀️🐙🔱

The voice from Ursula is Pat Carroll, she died 30 July 2022

My sister used to sing chef Louie’s theme song all the time when we were kids

7:06 Admittedly, the name "snarfblatt" is quite fitting, as _Blatt_ means "leaf" in German.

39:30 Bro I can tell Modern Movies have tainted people's views on older ones. They didn't use big names in most of Disney's projects and they didn't have "Multiverse" after credits. A shame but thank God we have the classics

Ursula is and always will be my favorite Disney Villain... Pat Carrol's voice work was epic! She just passed away last year....

This is the best Little mermaid.

Damn straight Eric deserves all the amphibious women. Lucky for he found his other half in Ariel. Also handy her Daddy could give her legs. Would have made the relationship a bit more complicated otherwise.😂 This movie is wonderful at every beat. They tell you so much more about who the characters are in just a few scenes, fantastic animation, and a little dialogue. It just takes a little bit of attention to whats going on and understanding of emotions and human motivations to understand it. So many people only look at the surface and miss so much. Halfway thru and it thankfully doesn't seem like you are one of those dense people.😊 Especially with your appreciation of Ursula!

Triton is the Son of Poseidon (so Percy's big bro ;) )

Ariel was my favorite disney princess when I was little and I am highly excited for the live action version. Sidekicks are almost always my favorite characters besides the villains lol they're the most entertaining and villains usually get the best songs. Also, I know most people don't like the other 2 movies in the series but I actually enjoyed them - more so the second one than the third. You probably wouldn't like it though knowing your taste in movies lol Happy birthday, Sarah!!

The Classic Version EVERY scene compliments each other....i dont need the remake unless Disney did a mirror version(but they didn't)....not alot of changes...if it aint broke, dont fix it

I just realized something: Jodi Benson is probably the only person to voice both a Disney Princess and (partially) a Disney villain

Ursula is so beyond extra that she's just awesome. An amazing villain. Evil to the core, but extremely talented at understanding people, what they want, what they're willing to give for it, and entrapping them with that. This movie was made at the darkest moment in Disney's history. The company was in horrific financial straits. They were literally discussing cutting the company up and selling various parts off. The animation studio had been moved into temporary trailers in the parking lot. This would be the last film they made. And they animated their absolute souls into it. This movie saved the company and launched Disney's "golden age" of films. Among their most loved and respected films to this day. And this was no easy film to animate. All those bubbles? Moving hair and plants underwater? Water. They put a ton into this and it paid off big. Decades later, the man who animated Ariel, Glen Keane, would direct the film that launched the next Disney golden age... Rapunzel. And you can see significant similarities in how both Ariel and Rapunzel move and act. Their flirtatious, feisty nature, movement, etc.

okay just for the record this movie is the blueprint

I've always loved this movie and if the wife hasn't already yelled at you to watch the prequel and the sequel I will do that. There's a lot of stuff that that sort of fills in the prequel tells you what happened to the mom which kind of gives legs to why the king is so anti-human and the sequel basically shows Ariel and Eric as parents dealing with a daughter who's obsessed with the sea like Ariel was with humans

21:43 in a way these people agreed to let ursula do that by signing the deals with. Never sign an agreement if you can't uphold your end. 😂

"They all lived happily ever after!"... until the sequel

Thats King Neptune 😂 who is the Roman counterpart of Poseidon who is Tritons father. So fun fact Ariel and Heracles(Hercules) are related!

If you like the Chef Louie chasing Sabastian scene in this movie, you will definitely want to check out The Little Mermaid 2. Happy Birthday Sarah. Hope you have a great day and time on your special day. :) The Little Mermaid is my favorite princess movie. :)

I think calling Flouder a "Guppy" is equal to humans saying "Chicken" or maybe even "baby"

in the french edit of this film they changed the chef to an italian:D

The guy who voiced prince Eric in this movie also voiced Spider-man in the Spider-man cartoon from the 90's

14:28 Jodi Benson played Ariel’s voice

Jodi Benson plays Ariel

21:27 Definitely a huge step above Morgana's design in the second movie, who literally just looks like Eda Clawthorne doing a bad Ursula cosplay.

This was one of my favourite movies as a kid; at 3 years old when this came out I was already swimming unaided and you bet I took this to heart. ... for context, every single person in my family can swim and that's becoming a rare thing these days. All of us were introduced to water well before we started education so just the act of being in water was a natural feeling. I kind of want to see the new live-action version just to see how badly it's screwed up. It just looks so dark and maybe too realistic? And Ariel has always been my favourite princess

Beauty and the beast had the best songs!

Happy birthday Sarah! I am once again begging for you to start Succession after Ted Lasso- you will love it!!!!!!!

she wasn't suppose to get back her voice after kiss, only can keep her legs ang stay on surface. the VOICE was one way payment.

7:48 she used to be a mermaid. She is Tritons younger sister who got cursed for killing all of her siblings but triton just to be queen/ heir to the throne. Ursula used dark magic a lot( the one thing I don’t get is how Ursula thinks she is new ruler for defeating Triton because the new queen would be oldest daughter who is at least 18- Ariel is youngest but 16)

Ariel could very well have tried to do some gestures after Eric goes 'then you can be who I thought you'd be'... that part always irked me, as in she could literally just have nodded eagerly and tried a bit harder in letting him know she cannot speak NOW, rather than never were able to speak. Also Les Poissons means 'The Fishes', not the poison XD

King Triton is a god, related to the greek ones. So no, SpongeBob is not copying disney haha

I also love how this is supposed to be in Scandinavia and Sebastian is Jamaican 😂

I was 6 years old when this came out and was probably aware of it at 8. I had a huge crush on Ariel. That bikini top, man. I can only imagine if I’d been that age when this new one with Halle Bailey came out. I would have been delirious. I’m pretty sure Ariel, Alyssa Milano and Hayley Mills (I saw a lot of her old movies growing up) were my first big crushes as a kid. If you want to hit up some hilarious Canadian content, Trailer Park Boys, the series, and the movie Don’t Legalize It, are well worth your time. In the movie, Ricky tries to save his weed business by trying to prevent the government from legalization. Not a joke. It’s amazing. Canadian cannabis activist Marc Emery’s wife, Jodie, makes an appearance.

Happy birthday Sarah, you have a lovely favourite Disney film ❤

I'm late, but Happy Birthday from Spain, Sarah! 🤗

Happy Birthday Sarah, many blessings and many more years to come

Happy Birthday, Sarah!

In the original story there is no relation and Ariel becomes sea foam. I liked it best. Also when she walked it was like walking on glass and she could have been a mermaid again but she would have to stab the prince so she chose to die.

Nice seeing you laughing and enjoying the movie 😊 Happy birthday, Sarah! ❤

27:05 it's french for fish

here's the thing about the cast and you not hearing about them. It is a modern thing, putting already famous people in animation roles. In most of these older ones they very rarely did that with like the most notable exception being robin williams lol

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Happy Birthday Sarah!! 🎉🎉

Your wife clearly has great taste; this is my favorite Disney movie, too. Also, happy belated birthday to her!!! 😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳🎁🎂🍰🎈🕯🎊🥂🍾🎉 Also, fun fact, but the "but she who holds her tongue gets her man" and Ursula throwing a tongue into the cauldron may or may not be a reference to the original story where the sea witch took the little mermaid's tongue instead of her voice. Also, the Quentin Tarantino joke. 😂

Happy Solar Return!! 🎉♊️🎂🪅🥳

Fwcietc, in the first few scenes of the birthday celebration, looks out for goofy, micky, and Donald in or near the front row

Well Happy Birthday to the Mrs. and thank you for having this be your fave movie so we could get this reaction!! I loved this movie as a kid and anything with mermaids. Ursula is great, love her voice and saucy lines. Eric is pretty dreamy as far as Disney princes go. King Triton is a Zaddy!!

Even though I never owned 'The Little Mermaid' movie on Video, my only exposure to it was with the TV series they made after it. My sister had a few episodes on VHS.

If you want a really great reimagining of a Disney happily ever after, Cinderella 3. Skip 2. Pointless. But 3 is a really well done "what if" story.

Happy birthday to Sarah!🎉

Happy birthday birthday twin!!!!! Today is also my birthday and this is my favorite movie and my actual name is Ariel (not named for the mermaid, just a coincidence). Happy to watch along with you mike!🎉🎉🎉

"Poisson" is French for fish, my dude lol!

I also liked this classic, iconic, and brilliant Disney movie, can’t wait to see it in theaters!!!!’ I actually haven’t seen the original in several years!!!! But even though I haven’t seen it in years, I still remember the songs, like Part of Your World, Poor Unfortunate Souls, Kiss the Girl, and of course UNDER THE SEA!!!! Also remember the characters, Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Prince Eric, Ursula, King Triton!!!!! SCUTTLE AS WELL!!!! Plus CANT FORGET THE DINGLEHOPPER!!!!!

The Little Mermaid was a book too! Written in the 1837 it was dark, sad and nothing like movie!

I was the right age to see this in theaters as a kid, and dame to see the giant Urusla rise out of the sea on the big screen, memorable!!

Happy Birthday Sarah! Hope you guys are doing well! This too is my favorite Disney Princess movie, my favorite non princess film is The Lion King, so I'm glad you're watching this!

Happy birthday Sarah!🥳🎉🎈🧜🏼‍♀️🐠🦀

Happy Birthday, Sarah! Hope it was a good one! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this one. I forgot how enjoyable it is.

23:53 I CHOKED HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂

Happy late birthday Sarah😊💖❤️

Your review was epic, love the laugh 👍🏻 you’ll like the live action, looking forward to your review on it and Happy Birthday Sarah

Has your Missus seen “Drain the Oceans” on National Geographic? There’s some great ancient shipwrecks on there. Love that show. The most recent season was a little blah though. Great reaction btw! That Quentin Tarintino title screen took me out. 😂😂😂

Curious to see if you'll do the other 2 movies since the 3rd one goes into more of Triton's backstory where humans are concerned 🤞 And happy birthday Sarah!! This was my favorite one growing up too!

King Triton is a little hypocritical vilifying us for being fish eaters because unless he's a vegetarian, what is he eating? Anything above the very bottom of the food chain is a fish eater so his reason for hating humans is a bit specious. Misconceptions and prejudices from an ancient human-merman war would have been a better reason for King Triton's hatred of humans.

Curse the live action. Your wife is obviously highly intelligent to not want to watch them tear apart this great movie.

Happy Birthday Sara(h)!

what a surprisee!!!!

Happy birthday to Sarah! Make him watch the prequel and the sequel...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH

9:26 😂 you killed me 😂😂😂

this was a random tuesday afternoon upload but no complaints, got my snacks. happy birthday sarah!!

This is actually my favorite disney movie as well

Vanessa is Ursula before, she turned into the sea witch but she always been half human half octopus. In the book: “Pour unfortunate souls” explains that

Honestly, I don't think that polyp that wrapped itself around Ariel's wrist was being an asshole. I think it (he? she?) was trying to stop Ariel from going any further. Even if Ariel and Eric kissed, I don't think she would get her voice back. That was never part of the deal. Ariel's voice was the payment for being turned human.

Prince Eric, also known as white Aladdin 😂
