Little Mermaid by W. Colon (lightningcount)  5 Stars
September 23, 2009
I've looked around for YEARS and finally found it on DVD. The cover is not accurate and does not look anything like the actual animated movie characters though but if you look behind the DVD case they have pics of the movie.

You know your kids. by Snake Senshi (California)  4 Stars
June 07, 2009
My little sisters and I have been searching for this version of the Little Mermaid for years. Anyway, I'm writting because I can't help but laugh at all the reviewers who are saying this is bad for children because the mermaid dies at the end. I watched this movie over and over when my dad bought it for me. I was 8years old. It never scarred me or made me think that in order to be loved i have to sacrifice everything. Stop trying to wrap your children in bubbles away from real life. It's not doing them any good. This movie stayed with me in a positive way. I identified with the mermaid and everytime I watched this movie I hoped that somehow that idiot prince would realize that the woman who's perfect for him was right next to him and not that broad he was betrothed to. I made my younger sisters both watch the movie when they got around to the ages of 7 and 8 because I wanted them to understand it. They loved the movie. We prefer it a million times to the disney version. (And yes the disney one is great too, I love ursulua). It's not giving us the same crap of "one day your prince will come". This one is more realistic. And if you read the original story (you can look it up on wikipedia if you want) you will even get why she turns to foam and everything related to that.
My point is. I was not traumatized by this movie. Neither were my little sisters. I'm an adult now in my mid twenties and both my sisters are in their late teens. They're bugging me to buy this movie because we can't find our VHS version. As a parent, you know your own child and if they can handle this movie. Sit and watch it with them if you haven't seen it before. I will definitely show this movie to my children someday and have all ready shared this movie with some of my friends kids. They liked it too, even though we all cried at the end. :P
This is the anime version, but with no japanese language track and the cover is completely different from the actual movie. How odd. But anyway, there are five minutes taken out as many other reviewers have said. Buy the imported version if you can. You get those five minutes and a case that matches.

Very misleading by M. Jones (STL, MO USA)  1 Stars
February 20, 2009
I bought this movie after reading the reviews that it was supposed to be the 1970s anime that I remember seeing as a child. The reviews said that to ignore the cover art, that it does not match the movie.
Yes it does. This movie is NOT the anime. The movie I recieved looks EXACTLY like the cover. I am very disappointed. What a waste of money.

Wonderful! by K. Smith 5 Stars
October 02, 2008
This is a wonderful movie. Also, I wouldn't turn it away from children either. I'm 21 and watching it for the 1st time since I was 9/10 and I didn't recall the mermaids not having clothing of any kind. So unless you feel your child will remember the scarring images of mermaids without seashell tops...GO FOR IT! This movie was one of my favorites along with The Last Unicorn. A+++. The movie ending is much like the book so it isn't happy and cheerful like the Disney version...like all Disney movies. ENJOY!!
