  • I miss the old days :(

  • Jodi Benson's recording session for "Part of Your World" was amazing.

  • 7 ppl hate being a kid

  • Ok in 1989 Disney apeealed to kids by creating musicals such as the Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beat now Disney is a different company that cares very much about money and comes out with films such as Cars 2, Ratatoullie, Princess and the Frog, and Pirates 3...DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY WHICH ERA OF DISNEY IS BETTER!?!

  • @robirdsfilmmaker this era is better your right, but if disney made more hand drawn films disney could go back to the way it was, I'm sure they'll go back eventually as they make more hand drawn films and get back to their roots, i know this cus i heard that their going back to hand drawn animation, they said their gonna release one once every 1 or 2 years if i remember correctly

  • well, as much as ursula is the best villain, but i think mother gothel is great!!! D:< because she's not supposed to be just villain. the fact that she kept rapunzel as her daughter and give her things instead of chaining her means that she's not that just-pure-evil woman. She's vain, and too vain actually! but she's not bad enough to chain her (at least in the beginning).. so i still think it's appropriate :)

  • I might be sick but I find Ursula soooo sexy!!!

  • My sister's name is Arielle and she was born the year the movie came out, 1989.

    I'm so jealous that my sister shares the same name as a beloved Disney character.

    I wish my name was like Arista or something...

  • My sister's name is Arielle and she was born the year the movie came out, 1989.

  • I had seen this movie so many times before I even knew that they were voiced by someone else. (And not just real merfolkes). So, when I saw Jodi Benson singing 'Part of your World' in person... it seemed to me like Ariel was voicing her...

  • Alyssa Milano served as body model for Ariel. Several years later she herself became a mermaid in "Charmed".

  • love to HATE her?? hell i hate to LOVE HER!

  • i love pat carroll's voice :D 

  • I love those VHS lines at 4:23. Man, I miss VHS.

  • I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...

  • PAT CARROLL <3

  • Ursula.. best villain in disney! and pat carrol what an excilent voice they chose"

  • Curiously Alyssa Milano served as a body model to create Ariel.

  • No match for Ursula? Please, Alyssa, didn't you see the way she took her on in the finale by pulling her hair? One of the points of this movie was to show people that girls can, as Beyoncé says, "Run the World".

  • @KWolfe991 theres no way you couldve watched this movie when you were five and it be 25 years after it came out, because it came out in 1989.

  • @alexander3062 stop being a douche.

  • URSULA'S A FRIEKING PETOPHILE!!!! I was 5 years old when I first saw this movie! And that was 25 years after this movie came out! I never thought that way!

  • @KWolfe991 how is she a petophile?

  • lol Pat Carroll rocks! XD

  • AHHHHH @ 6:41

  • who the heck is that girl narrating?!

  • @MMKursch The inspiration for Ariel herself - Alyssa Milano

  • I don´t know you guys but I love hand drawing disney movie much more than this new digital stuff...The little mermaid its the last disney movie to be made that way and its a masterpiece of the Disney movies!!

  • @AiMXBenson It was the last Disney movie that was done in the traditional ink-and-paint method, but their CAPS system made their following movies even better looking while retaining that hand-drawn goodness! And it made life much easier for the animators :)

  • @Spectacular66 I gree...still, I also have the thought that making things easier with digital stuff its not 100% good becouse the digital thing remains some of dedication and commitment.

    Of course I am not talking about every movie, just some of them :/ There still are great animated movies made out of the new tecnology...its just that not like old times...

  • Ursula has to be one of the BEST villains in Disney history; Pat Carroll honestly was just perfect for her voice! She was always the most memorable villain, her along with Hades, and I really loved to hate Mother Gothel in Tangled recently! 

  • @olliezlol No hard feelings, people, but the Little Mermaid is one of my least favorite Disney movies. HOWEVER, Ursula was absolutely brilliant! Definitely an interesting and despicable villain. Scar and Jafar are my other two favorites.

  • @olliezlol I have to agree, Hades and Ursula are my favorite Disney villains. Is it weird that they kind of look similiar? Like they could be cousins or something...!

  • @olliezlol frollo?

  • @olliezlol 100% agree!

  • i am 18 and i love this movie!!! this is my favorite movie, what happened to the old disney??

  • 5:53 is SO Ursula!

  • Least we not forget, Divine. Who inspired and was going to originally Ursula, but not long after making John Water's "Hairspray", passed away due to complications of heart and his weight. RIP, Divine, and whoever else we lost that made this picture my top favorite Disney film.

  • 4:02 - 4:04 Shes SWEEEEEET !! ! :D

  • it's funny that alyssa milano is hosting this. she's one of the inspirations for ariel.

  • "look at me! wasted away to practically nothing!"

    was the quote the capped Ursula as being my favourite since I was little. Now that I'm older, I love how it cemented her characterization!

  • I LOVE THE SEAHORSE GUY. SO CUTE !

  • lawl I loved all of them! Ariel, Flounder, Eric, Skuttle, Triton, Sebestian, the tall guy (Eric's butler?), Carlotta and even the Chef.

  • Can Disney be just like this again please?

  • @izzybella101 Yeah I wish I could just turn back time and go through the Disney Renaissance. :( Too bad I was just a little boy when it all happened. I hate that everyone's only making 3d animations now. I mean I love 3d, but its not ART, its not the hundreds of hours poured into drawing each frame of these characters.

  • rip flounder

  • Pat Caroll is amazing i love her in this and in freedom writers :)

  • I love, love, love hearing from the wonderful, brilliant people who made these films. :D

    But the funny thing is, Ursula (who IS marvelously theatrical and deliciously wicked!) doesn't have tentacles...they're really called arms. xD

  • For Some Reason, Ursula is my favorite Disney Villain

  • Buddy I love you and Scuttle RIP!!!! :.....(

  • @71crm rip? why? is he dead now?

  • @miulfelle Yes, he died about 7 years ago back in 2003

  • @71crm oh, how sad....rip scuttle...huhuh...it will never be the same if they make a new little mermaid movie w/o the original scuttle

  • she fell in love with prince Eric after that small 30 sec clip

  • is that alysa milano???

  • @Bryan7Q Yes, it's Alyssa Milano, the star from Charmed ;)

  • @roro21 hmm... good point

  • I love how Ariel used ink under water...

  • ursula is the only fat villain in the disney animated movies

  • I have a dingle hopper!!!

  • I feel ridiculous! How did I not make the connection between Skuttle and Buddy Hackett until now? It's so obvious. ;)

  • That's very interesting with how Ursula was animated....I have a villian in this animated movie I want to make and he's inspired by the Phantom of the Opera and Marlon Brando in his later years for his hand movements, but in terms of body type, he's a lot like Ursula because he's a 450 pounds of pure body fat....Kathy Zielkinski is one of my heroes because like me she's a woman who animates and I love how she watched people in movies for inspirations for Ursula's movements

  • The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney fairytale! I always cry when I watch it!

  • Pat Carroll is so cool

  • Do they play the little mermaid on Disney channel ever?

  • @iloveVanilla14 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they do not, however they do play hannah montana.

  • @trisrays they need to play some of the classics. Hannah Montana sucks.

  • @iloveVanilla14 I agree with you. However the company disney is STUBORN and will not listen to the fans. Just try to get them to do it. It is a uphill battle. Maybe in 2030. lol

  • @trisrays Thats TOO LONG!!!!! lol

  • Man It makes me sad to see Howard Ashman in these interviews... What a great talent. He will certainly be missed. I think he had a soft spot for the Character of Ursula she was such a force in the Music and so theatrical which makes her one of the best Disney Villains of all time Love Pat Carroll she really is great and is still doing the voiceovers for Ursula till this day.

  • 5:54 Dear Lord, Ursulla posessed Pat Carroll! haha :P

  • Pat Carroll has to be the coolest person ever.

  • pat carroll rocks! never seen her face until now. great voice

  • They should show more things like this on Disney Channel... gosh, It's DISNEY channel and they don't show anything about disney classics... Walt Disney would be really angry if he could see what they show on disney channel!!

  • Oh, Disney did a few serious stories... The Hunchback of Notre Dame for example.

    Nowadays, they just do comedy and almost nothing else (I liked Princess and the Frog... but it was again more comedic than serious).

    I got to admit, I wish Disney movies were a bit more like Don Bluth movies (and Bluth left Disney because he wanted to do more dark/serious stories... and Disney just didn't want to do that).

  • I don't feel like 2D animation is outdated. Disney assumed wrong IMO... I like japanese animation because they still continue to use old school animation... and people still love it (even if many japanese animated series aren't animated much compared to western animation)! So, IMO, Disney assumed wrong. 2D animation ISN'T outdated (and never will be).

    As for the stories... Disney did great but I wish they could tell more mature/serious stories sometimes, without taking away the magic of course.

  • I LOVE old school anumation, but I dont think its ever be popular again. The kids of the 70's and 80's used to be real kids. Now days kids dont have that innocence to be amused by fairytales

  • @DiLancreRoyalty Exactly and right on to the tee. The fairytales are not getting through to kids today like it did to me as a kid of the 90's or late 80's. Society is perverted to date. Just the other day, I seen a comment of some young kid trashing the lion king. lol We are living in the last of the last days. We have great technology and knowledge, but its just not solving the worlds problems.

  • I am very excited about this Disney's project (The Snow Queen is scheduled to be released in 2013). Because it has some people that worked in other great Disney animations

    Written by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King)

    Produced by Don Hahn (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King)

    Score composer Alan Menken (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin)

    Btw, The Snow Queen is a fairytale created by the danish Hans Christian Andersen, who is also the creator of The Little Mermaid!

  • OMG, Pat Carroll freaks me out in real life, let alone the movie!!!

    ROFL!!!!

  • Notslagia. Feel like crying!

  • omg ._. urusla's voice... it gives me shils ._.UU

  • Comment removed

  • I adore Buddy's big, buggy eyes!!! So amazing!!! ^__^

  • Audacious

    Rebellious

    Independent

    Enthusiastic

    Laudable

  • @LoxyFoxy09 oh yes, living in your toilet sounds like a dream...

  • I hope the Princess and the Frog is the next series of the Disney Renaissance

  • @AnimationManiac Indeed!

  • Omg really.. your bickering over a child fairytale....if you dont like it dont watch it...And if it wasnt for the success of THIS MOVIES, Disney would not have movies anymore..So thats bye bye to all the Pixar, The Lion King, and every Disney movie made AFTER this one... so I say we owe it some Thanks!

  • I have a big Ursula tattoo on my back! I love her!

  • My favourite Disney Movie of all time!

  • If you don't like this, then screw you. The End.

  • R.I.P. Howard Ashman

  • @WweMariaa Omg really.. your bickering over a child fairytale....if you dont like it dont watch it...And if it wasnt for the success of THIS MOVIES, Disney would not have movies anymore..So thats bye bye to all the Pixar, The Lion King, and every Disney movie made AFTER this one... so I say we owe it some Thanks

  • wow you people need lives. nobody cares that chris crocker favorited this vid, and thats all you people wanna comment about.

    you guys dont have much going on in your lives do you?

  • ursula used to sccaarreee me shitless!

  • Ursula is such a badass xD I love her

  • well they did just do princess and the frog lol

  • Yeah, they need to go back to the classics - hand drawn. This digital stuff is cool, but the old stuff totally owns! Misssing it!

  • @jollycakes thats exactly what i think but this method of animation is jus much more expensive

    now the worlds all about money and so on

    i hate that

  • @jollycakes I agree with you to some extent.. I am very fond of Pixar which was made by Disney before is became its own company.. but the old classics such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid are how they should make cartoon movies if you ask me... but digital has its pluses too....like effects are better in movies etc.. :)

  • @jollycakes Very true! And it depends on the digital stuff for what you define as "cool". The people at Pixar; their digital animation is AMAZING!!!! But when you use computers to create drawings that someone else could've drawn out by hand (like in the straight-to-DVD Disney Princess movies or in the sequals like Lion King 1 1/2), then it's just laziness. Either way, neither can compare to the artistry and heart that goes into hand-drawn animation!!!

  • @jollycakes ikr. but do you realize how much time and effort it takes animating on paper?

  • @LegallyTan yes but its all worth the hard work these hand drawn movies are a instant classic!

  • @LegallyTan Yeah I do, but that is the point - that is what makes the moving so amazing, that they took their time to do this and to animate such an amazing movie, with their very hands. Besides, if they did it before, they can still do it again! I do understand what you mean though, but handmade/hand drawn is always better!

  • @jollycakes completely agreed :D it really is magical

  • @jollycakes actually the digital stuff is so UNcool ........ those drawings are the best .

  • I LOVE IT!

  • haha that old lady sounds just like ursula :)) j/k... Pat Carroll owns

  • @zouru thats because Ursula's voice is her's .

  • @RockAngel7878 they were joking

  • @Riku7070 Oh ... lol

  • good the little mermaid is good

  • Pat Carroll, who voices Ursula kind of resembles her.

  • Gah the old original unrestored video and sound of mermaid. I love it, better then this digital restoration crap!!!!!!! I just love the original audio as well as the video. I love it how it looks dark and you feel like ariel is underwater more then on the 2006 dvd. I have the 1999 unrestored dvd version and the colors are just better to me then the restored 06.

  • yeah same with fantasia 2000. they took out the racist part and that's a part of history! sorry, i know it's racist but it's a part of our history and it's more important!

  • I watched the 89' VHS last night it was so good! I like watching it the way it was meant to be seen rather than the updates. With the expception of Beauty and the Beast in 3D!!!1

  • I wanna punch that Alyssa girl in the face. "Liek omg don't you just love to hate her?!?!?!11ONEONE" NO, I love to love her. You are SO annoying.

  • Alyssa is so cute in this, she was always a great actress, I am 26 and I remember her on Who's The Boss. My two favorite disney villains are Ursula and Maleficent!  I can imitate Ursula's voice right down to the "T" Ursula always reminds me of a drag queen, they actually used Divine as the inspiration for Urusla. They did not tell you that here, but THEY DID! I have heard Disney is going to make a movie about Maleficent, I can't wait for that one! Disney villains RULE!

  • are they really going to make a movie about maleficent?i'm soo excited!^_^

  • @maleficentdiva please let me know about when it comes out. I want to see it way bad. Villains do indeed rule.

  • @maleficentdiva well she should remind you of a drag queen, as the inspiration for her was DIVINE. an old school drag queen who passed away before the movie was debuted. However Your two fav villains are mine as well. GO URSULA AND MALEFICENT!

  • lol its so funny seeing Alyssa Milano so young and so..... so..... so DISNEY!!! She must have started out as a sweet, innocent, pure little Disney Girl just like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato.

  • oh my gosh... i cant imagine Ursulla's voice with the actual voice character... that's scary~

  • Is that right? Pat Carroll is pretty old and speaks like Ursula,too.

  • @moonliteforest Me neither

  • scuttles uhmazing

  • 4:23 Oh oh. My tv has bad signal xD Like the good all days.

  • I hate being a human, gosh I wish I was a mermaid... :(

    Maybe in the second life...

    Nothing is impossible for my redeemer!

  • Rock on! i'd love to live my second life in the sea kingdom.

  • I would too....haha

  • @TRISAND I know how you feel. Sometimes, we all want to be something that we know is not real. But the best thing is that even though it may seem impossible, we always use our imagination. And THAT is the key to being what it is we dream of being.

  • Ursula is awesome @____@

  • i WANTED TO MEET FLOUNDER! DX

  • Did you know? "The animators created the character of Ursula with the intention of having Bea Arthur provide the voice. By the time Arthur was approached, she was already well into the sitcom The Golden Girls (1987) and declined the Disney offer." I always thought that she COULD have provided the voice in the movie. She sounds so much like the great Pat Carrol.

  • o.o butt

  • I just wish that Disney would make movies like these again. A little more realistic, please. I mean, what's up with Chicken Little... and Meet the Robinsons? I'm not saying that they're bad, but compare to this? Disney movies after Tarzan are becoming... less magical they they used to.

  • Meet the Robinsons is based on Walt's, so I don't think it's that bad. But I guess they did lost their magic because they now focuses on stupid teens and brings what they seemed to like (which is nonsense) and not the wonderful movies we knew.

  • i agree, old disney focus on kids, and early teens. now they focus on mid teens, late teens.

  • BUT Theyre making The Frog Princess (Princess and the Frog) And Rupunzell! We might actually be in luck! These (well they messed with The princessa nd the fron but itll be good anyways!) are classics, and maybe there will be more! I hope they make a ... (cant spell it_ Rumplestiltsken? XD That is a very very very good classic!

  • Are they? LOL!

  • @mermaidamp huh

  • Hopefully The Princess and the Frog will bring all that back, it certainly looks like it will.

  • I agree with you. My expectations for that movie are high. It has no influence from the HSM/Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers stuff whatsoever, and that's a very good thing.

  • What Disney really needs to do is go back to the classic stories approach.

  • wish Disney could make movies like this again....what happened to them. I barely see mickey Mouse anymore!

  • =D Play Kingdom Hearts! If you really like Disney you will really like this game! It has ALOT of disney worlds, characters, and some new ones! They also have Ariel! And I always go to Atlantica just for the heck of it because I love playing with Ariel and swimming ^^ Also another world I like is The Lion King ^^ Ahhh best disey game ever!

  • I do^^

    It is an awesome game if you love Disney and Final Fantasy.

  • I know! But they shoulda made a kid Yuna,Rikku, and Paine. Not...fairies. -.- LOL It was awesome because I could meet players I havent met before. And Kairi is awesome! ^^

  • Cool!

  • i was curious who would play ursula..the actress really does look like her heh XD

  • Ursula is my favorite Disney Villians

  • 10 or 20 years ago the people who worked at Disney had so much work and they made such beautyfull movies.Today they havn`t got so much to work like before and they don`t make such great movies anymore.

  • cartoon/animation whatever.....People don't get too technical with things. We all know what livvy177 meant or we should. I hate it when smart a's correct and have to be proper in everything.

  • it would be so fun to be a voice of a cartoon
