I saw on Facebook yesterday that this would be an ABC. The Little Mermaid is iconic to me! I think I saw in for the first time at the movie theater for a friend of mine‘s birthday party. Either way, my friends and I watched it over 1 million times when we were in grade school! We all sang along with the entire movie!
It had been so long since I last saw in because I had a little boy so I only watched little boy movies. When he was small, he would not let me watch The Little Mermaid!
As soon as it was on, I changed the channel to watch it. I was amazed that I still knew all of the words to the movie and to all of the songs! However, I think I prefer the cartoon version to the live version only because I have heard it the way for all of my childhood. I still had to watch the whole thing though!
I can no longer sing along with the movie as if I am Ariel because I no longer have the strength in my vocal cords and can’t use my chest to push the sound out.
I did not realize how much I loved the ending of the movie. In fact, I think I only love it so much because my Dad is gone now. I always called him, “Daddy.”
This scene really got to me and I cried. I was by myself watching it so it really didn’t matter.
