Celebrate 30 Years with The Little Mermaid

I remember it like yesterday, I was in high school, and a boy I was dating took me to see The Little Mermaid in theaters. It seems unreal that one of my all time favorite Disney movies, is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary. This Tuesday, February 26th, fans of Ariel and friends will be able to purchase The Walt Disney Signature Collection of The Little Mermaid with all-new bonus features and a sing-along mode.

Walt Disney Signature Collection The Little Mermaid available Feb 26th

The Little Mermaid brings me back to my younger years as I enjoyed the the magical, musical tale of mermaid princess Ariel — along with loveable sidekicks Sebastian and Flounder, and the love-to-hate sea witch Ursula. Now, 30 years later, I’m excited to bring my love for these endearing characters to my daughter. She enjoyed it as much as I did, with our movie afternoon celebrating the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray™ release on Feb. 26.
