I just watched The Little Mermaid (1989) for the first time in over ten years, and for the first time with my 4K disc.
I gotta say, the story and characters aren't as good as I remember. It's still all pretty good, but it just didn't resonate with me this time.
What did resonate with me were all the visual details I picked up on that I never noticed before, like seeing Ariel transform into Ursula's cursed form, or how the eels were destroyed into little bits. So much disturbing detail I never noticed as a kid.
I think the visuals of the movie hold up pretty well, but the CGI they used stuck out to me like a sore thumb this time. Disney really struggled with CGI in the early years, and even when they had their Deep Canvas, it still never really worked all that great all the time.
The music is good, and the songs are good as well.
Overall, it's a good movie, but it didn't seem to be the timeless masterpiece I thought it would be.
