"Part of Your World" stands out as perhaps the pinnacle of Disney's canon of musical bildungsroman (yes, I'm playing fast and loose with that word). It's the culmination of decades of work trying to find the right formula to tap into the fantasy "every" girl has of being a princess mixed with the demographic tendency to want to see more explore more experience more. It is the basis of a formula that would continue with "Belle" and "How Far I'll Go," to name but two examples. And the key to it is that, of course, coming of age stories/feelings extend far beyond their demographic; everyone wants more feels more wants to grow wants to change. For trans people, the transformation…
Today, is the day, I officially have broken 100 followers. Before I get into the meat of things today, I just want to say thank you all so much. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have so many wonderful people support what I do, let alone this quickly. I haven't even been on the site for a full year and already I've gotten so far!
Never in a million years would I expect be here, with each of my reviews currently getting up to ten or so likes each, and so many wonderful comments from such funny, caring, and genuine people who share the same passion as I do. I am seriously the luckiest guy in…
The Little Mermaid marked the beginning of Disney’s renaissance under the stewardship of Katzenberg and proved to be the template for practically every Disney film that succeeded it in the following decade. However, with it fast approaching its 25th anniversary is it beginning to show its age? Sadly, the answer to that question is a yes, but then I’ve never been a huge fan of this particular animated adaptation.
Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale it tells the story of Ariel, an inquisitive and free spirited mermaid, who falls in love with a human prince. Making a bargain with an evil sea witch she is offered the chance of a new life with her two-legged love, but at…

Review In A Nutshell:
1989, a wonderful year for Disney; a moment where they have broken through their two decade slump, unable to make a film that captures the pure magical essence that universally captured the hearts of youths and adults. Enter the Disney Renaissance, a wave of films that brings Disney back to the top tier level that they were once known for. The wait was definitely long, but given the products that they have throughout the final decade of the 20th century, it was without a doubt, worth it. Starting off the Renaissance is The Little Mermaid, a film that I once dismissed as one of the worst films of the era, given…
ariel: i'm sixteen years old, i'm not a child anymore!
me: bitch, sit your ass down and shut the hell up, bitch
this is probably the best disney movie ever made. cant think of a better one. "Part of your world" makes me want to cry every time i hear it (i dont actually cry of course). but damn. this has to be one of your favorite disney movies or i no longer respect you
this movie makes me so happy. it was such a big part of my life as a young child. it was the first movie i ever owned — on VHS — and watching it (for the first time in years) with my best friend was a wonderful experience. :')
The Little BRAT.
I wish these guys were allowed to make Treasure Planet before making this.
if eric is a prince how come we never see a king or queen? why neither of them go to their's son wedding?
The main romance is shallow, but everything else (the animation, music, side characters, etc.) is terrific. 8/10
