“Life under the sea is better than anything they’ve got up there”
It’s time to go under the sea once again! Just in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary, “The Little Mermaid” is coming back to our homes! Available now on On Digital 4K Ultra HD and Movies Anywhere and 4K Ultra HD and Blu – ray™ on Feb. 26. In honor of this splashing good time, we’re celebrating with a giveaway! Stay tuned until the end of the post for details.
This edition of the film comes with so many special features, we just can’t wait to watch them all! One that seems to be a highlight is a feature with Alan Menken and some very recognizable Disney voices gathered around a piano. Jodi Benson (Ariel from The Little Mermaid), Paige O’Hara (Belle from Beauty and the Beast), Judy Kuhn (the singing voice for Pocahontas), Lillias White (Calliope in the animated Hercules series), and Donna Murphy(Mother Gothel in Tangled) get together to reminisce on Ariel’s journey, tell stories, and make new memories around the baby grand. Here are some other features to look forward to.

It has to be “Kiss the Girl” for me. Buddy Hackett’s contribution cracks me up.
I absolutely love Part of Your World
under the sea!
“Part of Your World” and even more so the Reprise. Goes from a bit sad and wistful to having some determination. Plus, you’ve gotta love her hair in the wind and that wave crashing over her!!
Under the Sea is my favorite.
Kiss the girl.
My favorite is part of your world.
My favorite song is “Part of Your World”! I used to sing this, very very dramatically, in my bedroom all the time as a preteen
One of my favorite Little Mermaid tunes is “Les Poissons” since it is a very fun melody to do in your worst French accent. And, of course, who can forget how this song also almost broke our favorite DAPs reporter, Caitlin.
