The Little Mermaid (1989)

The ThawedCast: Conversations about Animation welcomes Lara Akal and her tremendous knowledge of the hugely popular 1989 Disney animated film, 'The Little Mermaid.' Hannah, Dawson, and Philip also share their thoughts on this film that marked a significant turning point in animated musicals. Ariel is a mermaid princess disillusioned with undersea life, and the only thing she wants is to experience life on the surface. As her fixation reaches a fever pitch, she is pressured into a dubious deal with a sinister sea witch. The consequences could be dire, but with help from her friends, Ariel is determined to make the enchantment work in her favor.
