I was an eight year old child when the first film was released. I would watch it, rewind it and watch it again, everyday. It was my favourite childhood movie. Therefore I wasn't expecting a lot from this newest version but was pleasantly surprised. All the songs I loved were still there with some new ones added. I like all the little differences in this version. Wouldnt it be boring if it was exactly the same, word for word as the original.
The actors were great. I loved both Ariel and Eric in this version. They are both incredibly good looking and incredible singers. Watching it in the movie theatre is a must I think. It brought me back to being 8 again. Definitely a fantastic remake by Disney.
