I have a confession to make. Although I have seen The Little Mermaid, I've never really watched it properly. Being at a friend's house with nothing better to do on a Sunday morning, I sat down to watch this - and realised that I didn't really know the story. So this time, I paid attention. And really enjoyed the movie - as I should.
For those of you who, like me, don't know the story (or didn't, until a week ago), Ariel (Benson) is a mermaid who falls in love with a Prince, and makes a deal with a sea-witch in order to become human and meet the Prince on dry land.
Even if you don't know the story, I guarantee you'll know some of the songs. They stick in your head for ages after you hear them.
I imagine you've already seen The Little Mermaid, and know that you love it - especially if you're a child of the '80s. But if you haven't, just go and watch it.
Rating: 4 out of 5
