I love the Walt Disney film The Little Mermaid.  The film is about a young mermaid named Ariel, who is tired of her life under the sea and wants to experience the human world, much to her father's dismay.  The animation and music found in this film are sublime, and watching the film is really a pleasurable experience.  My three year old daugther loves this movie, and unlike m...

Have you ever walk into a store and seen something so special and unique that you just had to have it? That is exactly what happened to me when I found the Mermaid Weathervane at of all places a Christmas store.While on vacation in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee we were doing some and one of our stops was at a store called the Christmas Place which they claim is the South's largest Christmas ...

Mermaid Marina by Lesley Rees, is an attractive board book, filled with whimsical sparkly illustrations. It's intended for children aged three to six.  It's one in a series of four books.While the pictures are attractive, the story is terrible.  Marina is a mermaid, who gets ready for a party where everyone is amazed at how pretty she looks.  The story itself is poor...

You have probably seen the movie Disney's The Little Mermaid, but have you ever thought of reading the book with your child?  Scholastic has teamed up with Disney, producing books for each Disney story.  I recently read through The Little Mermaid with my six-year-old daughter, who loves both, the book and the movie.  What did I think of the book as a parent?  I thou...

This is a great game meant for the VTech VSmile systems and the VSmile Pockets. It is a great educational game for agest 4 - 6. What I think is so great about this game is that it stars a character (Ariel) that little girls love. I know my sister does so she wants to play it. At the same time though, she is learning math and reading skills. It is great to watch her have so much fun playing...

This version of classic Disney animated film The Little Mermaid has been restored so that the colors are more vibrant and it is more enjoyable to watch. The movie tells the tale of a young mermaid, Ariel, the daughter of King Tritan, who falls in love with a human and has to go behind her father's back in order to meet her heart's desire.

The Little Mermaid is one of Disney's animated movies that is essentially a fairy tale that features the daughter of the King of the Sea, whose name is Airel, as a mermaid who wants to live like a normal human teenager.  She eventually runs across an evil queen who grants her wish, under one condition: that she is unable to speak until she finds her true love and kisses him.  Afte...

My three year old loves Dora the Explorer.  Everyday, she watches Dora the Explorer cartoons, play with Dora toys and wear Dora and Boots panties.  I did say she loves Dora the Explorer!  Her absolute favorite though, is her DVD of Dora Saves the Mermaids.  We watch this cartoon on an average of 3 or 4 times a day, almost everyday.  She knows most of it by heart and sin...

The Little Mermaid is one of my children's all time favorite Disney Movies. The Little Mermaid is one of MY favorite movies as well. The magic of Disney takes  you under the sea to experience the world of mermaid, Ariel. She falls in love with a man who is out of her reach, literally. He is a human, much to her dads dismay! The evil villain here, Ursula, offers her a solution that...

  Ariel, the Little Mermaid wants to know about all things human.  Her father tells her to quit going to shore, but she doesn't listen.  Sebastian is sent to look after Ariel.  The color in this movie is fabulous.  I love the animation with Ursula.   I also love the story line.  A mermaid who doesn't listen to her father (reminds me of me when I w...

My daughters are both thoroughly obsessed with mermaids.  So, I bought two of these (exactly the same, so no fighting) from Target.The tail on the Barbie is made of a kind of squishy rubber type material.  And, if you push on the sides of her hips, she flips her tail up and down.  My only complaint about this feature is that smaller children may not be able to do this.  My f...

  I have a collection of Disney DVDs and this is one of my favorites.  I love that Peter Pan never grows up and is just a kid all the time.  My kids love the magical elements of the movie - kids being able to fly with the help of tinkerbell.  My son loves the pirates, especially the scene with the crocodile.  The first time he saw this movie, he went around the house sa...
