#57. The Little Mermaid
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Movie_poster_the_little_mermaid.jpg
Dir: Ron Clements and John Musker
Genre: Animated, Musical, Romance
Year: 1989

The Little Mermaid kicked off the Disney Renaissance with a bang. Nothing of the scope and imagination (except for a certain film that will be revealed later) had ever passed through Disney Studios until this film. It was truly the beginning of something special.

The Little Mermaid has probably a half-dozen original songs that still stick with me 30 years later. The nautical setting lent itself to some brilliant and unique animation, which looks just as crisp now as it did back then. And one could make an argument that Ursula is the GOAT Disney villain, and probably warped my brain into thinking what a bad guy was supposed to be like for years to come.
