This is actually my most anticipated Platinum release. I think the songs are well above other Disney flicks.

This is one of my less favourite Disney films. I wish Disney had chosen Jungle Book, Song of the South, The Three Caballeros, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Pinnochio, Robin Hood or The Fox and the Hound for the 2 disc treatment long before this. On the other hand, Cinderella couldn't bemore welcome.

The Little Mermaid has some historical significance because it brought Disney back from a box office slump. Without it's huge success (over $200 million worldwide) we might not have had Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin or The Lion King. For this reason alone it should be given the ultimate treatment.
Plus she's a total babe

Well The Three Caballeros has interest in mixing live action with animation in the lead up to Song of the South, and also having come from Disney's visit to South America during the artist's strike - so I'd say it definately has a lot of significance.
The Fox and the Hound has never been seen in its proper ratio, and Robin Hood was the studio's biggest animated hit of the seventies.
I agree The Little Mermaid was the one that really brought the studio into the nineties (to be honest, the huge success of Oliver and Company - whlst not on Mermaid's scale - had already convinced Eisner and co to badger ahead with more animated features) but it's a bit too kiddie-orientated for me, and hard to enjoy as an adult. A crime that the best Disney flicks are just not guilty of. In saying that, I also find The Lion King a tad overrated and think Beauty and the Beast was the true high point of the Eisner years.
