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.

Here is the story on this and all of the other DVDs that I am offering for auction today. I have listed this as "Brand New", but there is a "twist" to that meaning. All of my DVDs were purchased brand new. I don't buy used movies. But it was , and still is, my policy to buy the movie and then bring it home and remove the disc from the plastic, or cardboard, package. Then I store the disc in a CD jewel box. Why? Because when I buy my DVDs I take a great deal of time to pick the best package that I can find. I look for a smooth plastic cover with no wrinkles or blisters. I check for the printed outer wrap to be centered on the plastic box. And, most important, I know that frequent opening and closing of the plastic case will cause the hinge to break. So after I store the disc in the CD case, I put the DVD case in a nice, dark, dresser drawer. These cases are nearly perfect, and as perfect as I could find when I was shopping for them.

As for the discs themselves, only two or three have been viewed. And then, only once. The discs are flawless, without any scratches or fingerprints. Just like new, but with pristine hand-selected cases.

These were bought with an eye on the future, to be used for entertainment for my grandchildren. But that hasn't come to pass, and their parents have DVD collections of their own. So it's time to move them on to someone else. Start or complete your Disney DVD collection here.
