I used to love watching "The Little Mermaid" T.V. series when I was little. I was 5 years old when this series premiered and I remember waking up early every Saturday morning with my sister just to watch it. I was so excited to see the new episodes. My favorite character was Flounder, he was so cute. My sister's favorite character was Sebastian, he was so funny. I occasionally still watch this show whenever I get a chance to on Toon Disney.
I loved the theme song of "The Little Mermaid" T.V. series because it was a mixture of many of the songs from the movie "The Little Mermaid", which I also love. My favorite episode was "Wish upon a Starfish".
All together I think this was a good prequel to the movie and I suggest everyone should watch it. I give this series 9/10 stars.

This show like Aladdin is an excellent show made after the fantastic original. It isn't as good as the film, which is an animated classic, but this is a childhood favourite of mine, that I am still very fond of. When I was little, I wanted to be like Ariel, and I loved everything about the show and the film, the animation, the songs and the characters. Standout episodes are "Whale of a Tale", "Wish Upon a Starfish" and "The Evil Manta"(or in Harmony).The songs in the show are amazing, with catchy lyrics. Can I also say that the theme tune is based on the songs in the original? Ariel is a beautiful, headstrong character, and Jodi Benson voiced her beautifully. I also loved the fact that Ariel is a little more resourceful and sympathetic in this series. Sebastian and Flounder provide excellent comic relief especially Sebastian who made me collapse in giggles more than once sometimes even in the same episode, and King Triton is an inspired father- figure. And where would we be without the villains? Lets see, Ursula (who scared the life out of me), Lobster Mobster(he is funny), and of course my favourite-Tim Curry's The Evil Manta, who like Ursula frightened me when I was little. Excellent show, with good education. 9/10 Bethany Cox
No Wonder this show is on Playhouse Disney it is educational. Ariel and her sister Arista never seem to get along. Triton must combat the bad guys with his magic trident to save his daughter. Sebastin is still the babysitter of Airel. Flounder is a coward. Ursula still has her two pet eels Flotsam and Jetsam. My grandmother and I used to watch videos of this series when I was 3 years old my sister used to watch this with me too. Sebastin is hilarious.
"The Little Mermaid" is a magical tale. A healthy story to the child's spirit. Many have seen it but the new generation must see it. It's a magical story that fills the children's soul with fantasy and creativity. I think all children should see it at a young age. This Disney classic will win the heart your son/daughter/niece/nephew etc. I really encourage families to see it. Think of it as chicken soup for the children's soul. If you've ever heard of those books. It's a classic that you will never forget. A Magical tale that will light up you Shields face(s) I hope that this movie will make you children happy and joyful to the bone. Enjoy.

Disney's outstanding reputation of producing the best in children's entertainment continued into 1992 with "The Little Mermaid," and this show is based on the 1989 theatrical animated film. Unlike other shows like "TaleSpin," which would borrow a few characters from the Disney films, this was the first to use all of the characters from the film; something that would become a new practice for the "good old Disney cartoon shows."
This was a cute show; it was friendly, especially for the little ones!!!!! This not only played on local television but this ended up on the Old Disney Channel in the mid to late 90s along with the other little children's shows.
"The Little Mermaid" was not just a great series; it opened up the door to a new way of making Disney shows!!!!!

- TriviaThe deaf-mute character Gabriella was based upon a real little girl, a fan of the show who had died during its first season.
- GoofsUrsula appears throughout the series, with Ariel knowing her and her powers. However, since the series is a prequel to La Petite Sirène (1989), this would contradict the events of said film where it is indicated that the two characters had never met beforehand.
