Theatrical release: November 17, 1989.
Rereleased November 14, 1997.

THE LITTLE MERMAID is the 28th full-length animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures.

Alyssa Milano confirmed to Premiere magazine that her body was used as the inspiration for Ariel.

Shot in 70mm; color by Technicolor.

THE LITTLE MERMAID is the 28th animated feature to carry the Disney name and was originally released in theaters November 17, 1989.

David Dunnet was the layout supervisor and Donald Towns was the backgrounds superior.

Budget estimate $20 million.

Rated BBFC by the British Board of film censors.

The original Hans Christian Anderson story, "Little Mermaid," was published in 1836.

25 special effects artists and animators were used to create the special water effects of the film. Over 400 artists and technicians were used to make the film, overall.

The making of the film produced nearly 150,000 painted cells, 1,100 backgrounds, 1 million drawings (including sketches, pencil animations, and layouts) and 7,000 feet of hand-drawn film, and utilized more than 1,000 different colors.

The two-and-a-half-minute storm scene in which the prince's ship runs aground took eight weeks to choreograph.

Two-thirds of the film is set underwater.

GENUINE DISNEY DVD

The Little Mermaid (1999), Limited Issue

DESCRIPTION: This is a GENUINE US release, NOT a CHEAP and ILLEGAL import (exactly as pictured above). I bought it at a local retail store. The DISC is in MINT condition! The case and Cover art are NM-M (very light shelf wear, no tears cuts, etc.) and it DOES INCLUDE the INSERT (nm) but NOT a CARDBOARD SLEEVE (this one NEVER had one)! 

SHIPPING FEES (US: includes AK, HI, Guam, PR & APO/FPO):  for THIS ITEM is based on your ZIP CODE (PRIORITY (US), Boxed). It will be bubble wrapped and in a box so unless they drop it off the truck and run it over it will be in the condition described GUARANTEED! You may also chose 1st Class OR MEDIA (depending on weight) in a bubble mailer (HAWAII: Media Mail (and Parcel Post) can take up to a month or longer (especially during Christmas season). DO NOT USE MEDIA/PARCEL POST if you want it in a timely manner)!

INSURANCE (US ONLY~ REQUIRED if over $20.00): IS only $1.70 for up to $50.00 (additional coverage is available). I AM NOT responsible for USPS damage or losses. While I've had less than 1% report problems, they do occur. DUE TO eBay’s changes in shipping fees and lax controls I am forced to make insurance a requirement to protect against loss and theft by scam artists being allowed on ebaY. The overall cost will be about the same as I previously charged and your purchase will carry full protection by USPS.

NOTE: Sometimes I get questions (&/or Lower DSR ratings) about MY cost of shipping &/or Shipping Speed, so PLEASE READ THIS. SHIPPING SPEED should be based on how fast the seller gets it to the shipper NOT how fast the shipper gets it to you. The COST of SHIPPING includes more than just postage. It includes a small handling fee that gets you such things as SPEEDY processing (usually w/in 12-24 hours of payment, see my feedback), padded mailers, boxes &/or extra protective packaging, not to mention the costs of mailing items (tape, printer ink, etc., ...coffee & aspirin for the rare pain in the ... that keeps me up nights... ).That last small print part is sarcasm for those ebaY staff who can’t recognize it.

IF you want CHEAP SHIPPING (or FREE (?)) please DON'T BUY FROM ME (I could use cheap manila envelopes, stick stamps on it and drop it in the mail but unfortunately could not offer insurance with that option.)! My fees were in line with Amazon and other reasonable shippers and for the SPEEDY SERVICE you get I believe its well worth it. If you disagree please shop with cheaper but not necessarily better sellers. REMEMBER nothing is truly FREE (Amazon’s FREE shipping takes several weeks to arrive SO it costs you time and comes poorly packaged. I know I’ve used it).

Thanks for your understanding. Jim

NOTICE: Combined shipping and postal upgrades will NO LONGER be an automatic option after the new EBAY MANDATED shipping fees go into affect OCTOBER 5th. I would be losing money on S/H costs at that time.

IF I can save you on shipping I will on a case by case basis (email if you have items in mind)!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: CANADA EUROPE, AUSTRALIA or NZ, CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA: email for a quote if not shown (you pay duty import charges, IF any. I seem to have difficulty remembering how much you paid). Please DO NOT ask me to list it as a GIFT, It is illegal and you could lose your purchase if customs found out and I could get in more trouble than I care to consider.

I WILL ship to New Zealand, Israel and South Africa as well as the countries listed below. Email if you have live there as I have to add you to the approved bidder list!.

PAYMENT: IS DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS!

After 7 days I file Unpaid Item claims to recover some but not all of my fees. IF you have a problem email me and I’ll work with you.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: I accept

PayPal, (any credit cards, e-checks, transfers, etc.)!

Money Orders: AFTER OCTOBER 20th ebaY has declared we may NO LONGER solicit or OFFER this option (not my choice EBAY rules so let them know if you're not happy. They may listen to buyers)! I have always found MO payments acceptable (EXCEPT those NIGERIAN ones) but can no longer solicit that form of payment. Wish I could but I can’t according to ebaY rules.

FEEDBACK POLICY: I ALWAYS leave POSITIVE FEEDBACK for all buyers who leave same for me. WHY? I sell hundreds of items and until I know you’re satisfied I don’t consider the transaction complete. When I get positive FB I know you’re happy and so am I and leave FB to reflect that.

A small number of buyers (less than .05%) have reported problems with there orders. Most were civil and polite in reporting their concerns and I resolved them to their satisfaction in all but a few instances. A VERY small percentage was RUDE, nasty and even vulgar in their contacts. I don’t deserve that and won’t leave FB for cretins like that. My time is valuable and I won’t spend it leaving FB for people who don’t take time to let me know they are happy with their purchase or in the rare case they aren’t to tell me why they were disappointed!

CHECK MY FEEDBACK!!!
