"The Little Mermaid" released 1989


Walt Disney's classic adaptation of The Little Mermaid was released November 17, 1989, putting the company back on top, after a series of not-so-good movies.  It was also the first fairy tale in 30 years since Sleeping Beauty in 1959.  I think it's hysterical that Ursula was fashioned after Divine, from the John Waters' movies.

The Little Mermaid won two Oscars, one for Best Music, Original Song (Under the Sea) and for Best Music, Original Score (Alan Menken).  Kiss the Girl was also nominated for Best Original Song.
