The Little Mermaid {Giveaway}

by

I was fourteen years old when The Little Mermaid first came out in theaters.  I remember sitting in my seat, mesmerized by the animation and songs.  My favorites were of course, “Part of your World”  but also, “Les Poissons”.  I had taken French in middle school and loved that some of the words in the song were in French.

I adored the movie so much that I played the soundtrack over and over and even bought a stuffed Flounder when I went to Disney World a couple of years later.

Fast forward 24 years and guess what?  I still love the movie and so does my daughter.  I might have caught my boys watching the movie with her too and I may be singing the songs over and over lately since we received our awesome Diamond Edition copy.  What? I can pretend to be a beautiful, young, red-haired mermaid with a voice of gold for just a little bit, right?

This new version contains digitally restored picture and sound, a digital copy of the film, and a variety of never-before-seen bonus features, including the music video for Grammy®-nominated superstar Carly Rae Jepsen’s recording of the film’s beloved song, “Part of Your World.”

After watching it again I even have a new affinity for Sebastian.  Probably because I am a parent now. And perhaps I think it’s kind of fun to call a few random, odd things around our house a “dingle hopper.”  😉

Oh and Ursula?  Still NOT nice.  K likes to bury her head in my shoulder when she comes on the screen. But I do find her big number pretty amusing too and I sing along to it also.

And of course, it all turns out okay in the end.  I mean, you knew that, right?  😉

So who wants a copy of this brand, spankin’ new version? Trust me, YOU do!  I have one copy to give away so enter below!

I received a copy of The Little Mermaid in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own.

  4. This was my favorite movie growing up. Sadly, my girls have not watched it yet. I’m hoping to get it for them for Christmas though!

  8. When I was in medical school, I’d babysit for two married residents for some extra money when that couple would have overnight call on the same night. I remember their daughters LOVED The Little Mermaid. I think I saw their copy of the tape (it was VHS back then!) probably 200 times over the years. No lie! The secret was that it was so good, I was totally happy about it, too! It was a win-win.
    Ah, this brings back the memories! My daughter would *totally* love to have this new DVD! I have my fingers crossed!! –Lisa

  9. I forgot how much I loved this movie until it showed up on our doorstep (loooonnng story) and I showed it to my sons. “Do you want to watch this?”

    we have watched it at least once a day since last week, Gio hums Under the Sea constantly and Jacob adores Sebastian. Soooo…I’m in the same , ummm, boat..but we love it. I can’t believe how much my sons have fallen in love with this movie, but I’m so happy about it. 🙂

  11. Ok, I really need to hear Carly Rae Jepsen’s version of “Part Of Your World.” I have always loved this movie, and Scarlet loves it now. I thought she’d get more freaked out by it all, but she doesn’t.

  14. Love this movie! Jack and I have rented it from the library a few times, he loves Under the Sea, I’m a big fan of Pour Unfortunate Souls… I love a good villain.

  17. I love this movie…but more so watching Disney movies through the eyes of my boys. They adore them! This is one we don’t have yet, so it would be great for our collection.
