 Of course, I bought this DVD on the day it was released, but I only recently watched it, and of course, it was sheer joy to see such a spectacular Disney animated feature again! There's not much more I can say about one of my favorite movies of all time, except that I'm always breathless during certain moments when Ariel is animated absolutely perfectly, such as when she's singing on top of the rock, or when Eric wakes up to see her backlit face, or when she turns over during Part of Your World and her hair effortlessly floats down at half-speed. OK, I could go on and on! Since this is a Platinum Edition, the bonus features are amazing! There's a nice 45-minute documentary that really highlights how this movie saved Disney animation from its mini "dark ages", and it definitely made me realize how the combination of talent and timing created such a miracle. There are also mini-documentaries about effects animation (with some awesome scenes of the animation archive, which I always love to see) and Hans Christian Andersen, plus a beautiful short of The Little Match Girl, which may be the quickest way to cry in under seven minutes. My favorite bonus feature is the inclusion of a virtual theme park attraction, which was actually developed by Imagineer Tony Baxter and others to be a real ride (and it would have been so cool!). Overall, this is a fantastic DVD set of an incredible movie, so it's pretty close to perfect!
