Have you ever seen the Disney movie The Little Mermaid? It was released in 1989 and it's one of my favorites!
I have but it's not my favorite. I like Beauty and the Beast better.
That's a solid choice too! I never realized it, but the film is actually based on a Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
That's cool did that fairy tale still have the same plot line?
Yes, it does! The Little Mermaid was a huge box office success. It raked in $84 million domestically and $211 million worldwide! Isn't that incredible?
That is crazy! Is that alot for a movie?
It is, especially for an animated movie! The Little Mermaid is thought to have started the era known as the Disney Renaissance. It's such a classic!
It is! What are some other movies apart of the Disney Renaissance?
