Do You Remember The Little Mermaid’s TV Show?

I did! I love this series when I was a kid! Also I watched the series more than the movie honestly. Also please tell me I’m not the only guy who loved this series?

[@patrickwilson1459]

I remember. It’s on Disney+ just like the prequel movie “Ariel’s Beginning”, the Original 1989 movie, and the sequel movie “Return to the Sea”. Disney+ seems to have every single adventure of The Little Mermaid. It won’t be long before Disney+ has every Star Wars movie and spin off TV series made.

[@marissawilson9460]

I adored The Little Mermaid tv show growing up! I even had “A Whale’s Tale” and “Stormy” on vhs. Some of the songs are just as memorable too like “Edge of the edge of the sea” and my favourite “In Harmony” which I still sing (annoying my husband in the process lol)

[@DisneyGeek_]

I loved watching this show as a kid. Especially the episodes with Gabriella, she was my favorite character.

She's actually the reason _WHY_ I remember it.

[@cargoloyalty9978]

Marinette/Ladybug Dupain-Cheng Same. I just had vague memories of Ariel talking to a darker skinned, pink tailed mermaid and wasn’t sure if I dreamt it or something lol.

[@MarkFilipAnthony]

I just realized Ariel is basically the first Anthropologist, and shes studying humans. The show was so good at exporing her character in that feild, the most Nerdy Disney Princess. I love the episodes when she finds new human items that makes a powrshift in the sealife socity like the boot that is a weapon or the armband that gets stuck. I love how her character is about being smart but also empathic towards others. She is not busy with boys or her beauty, but with her fandom and her friends. All the villains are aspects of powerlust or greed, and she saves the kingdom many times. Her father represents strength, but Ariel represents knowledge, and just as wise the father can be, just as naive can Ariel be. In many ways the serie is better than the movie (yes I said it) because after she becomes human she becomes super silly. the show is more like her in the start of the movie, dreamy and curious

[@MarkFilipAnthony]

@@itzelwind5813 I saw the movie first, but I saw the series many times back in the early 2000s/late 90s And to me her character is like the tv series more than the movie

[@cameronmcewen7192]

We know less about her world than she does ours.

[@claredawson9420]

I totally agree, she is a fantastic character, when I was a kid I always got upset when Ariel got married. I loved her at the beginning but couldn't relate to her motives when she was human. Wish she'd just fallen for the human world rather than a dude. They totally enriched the best parts of her character in the series and comic books. Hopefully even though she got married, she came into her own as princess/queen cos she had the making to be a great leader as you point out! Erc is useless unless he's pointing some phallic weapon at something XD

[@zooemperor3954]

I agree with you there. However, here’s the sad thing: she’s actually based on a real deaf girl who regularly watched the series before she died. Gabriella was their way of paying respect to her and a means of tribute as well as respect to the disabled

[@emilyrose9854]

Honestly if they're going to make it a black Ariel they need to make it a different character because Ariel is a very known Icon by Disney and that robs the character when you just end up calling her black Ariel and this isn't by me this is from the mouths of babes and a total disservice to the black community by handing an already existing character and changing up her colors to please insane people who may have good intentions but they're very destructive at least psychologically because it's basically saying hear you weren't something new well here's the same thing but with a new package that's lazy and just scummy at least call her something different and give her different colors I would suggest purple purple is a very pretty color for a mermaid and heck this can be closer to Modern Times just not that one weird mermaid movie they did and I can tell the story of what happened after Ariel try to merge merfolk and land Folk or it could be more of an origin story before Ariel and how the mermaids created Atlantis and stay primarily under the sea again I'm not against a black mermaid I'm against changing up characters skin color for the sake of looking Progressive and thinking people are just going to take it and be happy with the same s*** wrapped in a different package because again that is not right if you're going to go this route do a different story with a different character because you might find something really cool out of it and really cool ideas

[@constantine9142]

@@emilyrose9854 you hate false progressive shit which I totally agree with it's just when people speak up about it, it gets attacked and everything which in itself is so ironically stupid. I don't get the point of having super accurate like beauty and the beast which they did have some black people cause they were super progressive for that time but had it mainly white cause most french are. Then do what they are doing with the little mermaid when it was Danish like think the movie frozen....just comes off fake progressive. Like I'd be pissed if Mulan isn't Chinese for example if you want to have more people of color why not find an awesome well known story about a princess in Africa and do that along with other countries? they need new and fresh stories anyways instead of recycling stuff! I'd love that like they did with Moana but I remember in the 90s loving all these Disney princesses with dark brown hair like mine but I still loved Aurora from sleeping beauty too. Plus I could see some natural red haired girls feeling left out which isn't right either. God every girl I know with natural red hair has extreme self esteem issues tbh and the little mermaid was really their only girly girl Disney princess cause Merida wasn't at all like that and was more about the bond of mother and daughter. Just keep the original the original and create new stories where you have several examples of women around the world. Like we need something more than just Tiana for an example from princess and the frog which that movie I love even tho it came out when I was way older. Idk I'm rambling on probably not making sense I'm just saying they need to stop recycling and if do so respect the original while creating new just as beautiful stories. Like why is there just Mulan from that side of the world why not one if the very many Japanese folktales?! It's like replacing Mulan with a girl from Korea or Russia and I don't care for it.

You know, I think I like that Triton had that episode dedicated to his anger management issues right before the events of the move itself would have taken place. In the film, there's this under played moment when Triton pauses for half a beat, right after he's destroyed Ariel's collection, and I think that you could read that as him realizing that he had relapsed, and effectively broken the promise that he made about learning to control his anger. Which works, I think. He'd been nursing that rage toward humanity for a long time. It probably would have taken a lot of time and effort for him to get his anger under control, especially when he's kind of shown to be a bit of a. . .absent parent, due to his kingly duties.

[@plantemor]

The episode where flounder becomes a "werefish". It made me cry when I was little because there was such a level of tragedy to it. Ariel grief over losing her best friend to a horrible personality altering illness. That was a pretty great episode.

So after being reached by Ariel, Hand Christian Anderson was inspired to write a story where her tongue is cut out, experiences pain like she's stepping on knives every time she walks and overturned into sea foam at the end. That's some tribute.

Some years later, well after Andersen made himself an obnoxious houseguest to Charles Dickens, an Austrian Jew in love was rejected by his beloved in favour of another Jewish musician, and he poured his heartbreak into a three-part suite for orchestra.

[@Tuliona]

I always loved the episode when Ariel found something that I believe was called a "bad luck creature," and she brought it home and everyone wanted her to get rid of it. The creature had a bunch of adorable babies at the end.

[@Zay-e5p]

[@CraftyMaelyss]

I have no idea what the episode was called, but I remember this cute pink creature that everyone is scared of, because it apparently curses people forever, even Ursula was trying to destroy it. That and the episode with the wild sea horse that Ariel was trying to tame but ended up hitting her head on a branch, not seeing it as the sea horse was swimming past and being taken home unconscious. That and the submarine episode. Also I recommend you guys check out a *clay animation series called The TrapDoor from 1980* it's something I grew up watching as a 90's kid. In fact both seasons are here on KZbin somewhere I think. Definitely worth checking out :) That and Disney's Gargoyles :)

Benjamin Kellog I caught it but it is hard to pick up. I don't remember how many episodes it took me to finally get it. But to be honest, child me was watching it because it is a girl in a shell bikini. Haha!

[@benjaminkellog7311]

Heh heh, yeah, Kura, that was a compelling reason for me too, even if I wasn't exactly thinking that at the time. I was actually reading an article about Ariel's design, and it made a surprising observation. Her body proportions are kinda crazy, what with her back seemingly bent in half to allow for greater flexibility in the water, and her center of gravity fixated near her upper chest, which would likely cause her to tip over a lot more in real life. That's before you even get to how exactly the whole "swimming with fins" thing is supposed to work; I've heard a few real-life "mermaids" who do promotional work while wearing artificial tails describe how it's ridiculously uncomfortable and nearly impossible to retrain the brain to compensate for leg immobility (no word on whether wheelchair life could make that sort of thing easier, but I personally doubt it).

[@sillystarshine22]

the Aladdin and Little Mermaid series were always my favorites as a kid and i remember really want the two shows to crossover some how as a kid lol. OMG i totally remember the charmed episode that was definitely one of my favorites and wow Gabriella was only in 2 episodes i for sure thought it was more i never knew that she was a tribute to an actual little girl that was really sweet(but also sad) to learn. I'm surprised Disney has put this series out on blu-ray or dvd especially with the way old/nostalgic tv shows and movies are having a major comeback the past few years

[@melissacooper4482]

My favorite Little Mermaid episode was Caliope Dreams. It was where she found a harp that came from the ship of Mozart. The rest of the story has Ariel wanting to play the harp while King Triton was wanting her to play the caliope. In the end we learn that Triton was living his dream through Ariel and he ended up learning the caliope himself.

I remember watching this on the Disney Channel in the late mornings when I was a weeeeee lad. It made me connect with the characters from the movie(s) so much more. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for covering this. 🙏

[@ColumineMiette]

HAHAHA! Of course I remember this show! I'm surprised anyone doesn't! Urchin stood out the most to me, because that's how I learned about sea urchins! The medley theme almost makes me cry when I hear it. So pretty. :) Ariel also looks the most like her mother. I remember Gabriella even though I didn't ever see that episode, because everyone on the playground knew and talked about her! But what I remember most are the books they released when this show was still on! There were regular books and comic books, and I read whatever I could get my hands on.

[@DutchNostalgia]

I used to watch the whale of a tale vhs all the time, our family didn’t have much vhs tapes but I remember watching that one together with the movie as much as I could.

[@priscillagonzalez9189]

I LOVED THIS SHOW AND LOVE LITTLE MERMAID!!! I remembered every single episode that you showed on here. So glad this played when I was a little kid (I was born in 1994, so they kept it running for so long, but long enough to where I could cherish this show in my adult years).

[@benjaminkellog7311]

That Hans Christian Anderson episode was a real treat, both for the Copenhagen statue shoutout and the ending's recommendation to find out more about Andersen and his fairy tales, including "The Little Mermaid," at your local library. I always imagined looking up an Andersen collection at Belle's bookstore from the "Sing Me a Story with Belle" show.

[@liamdonohoe1988]

Whale of a Tale is the only episode that’s missing on Disney+

[@PandaJohn71]

My sister had a VHS with the first episode or two when we were growing up.

[@magita1991]

I loved this show , Aladdin and Hercules.

[@Jackofallfables]

You should do one about Lilo and Stitch and all their spin off shows

[@kriscarr4929]

Rhyan Bullard ooo good idea!

[@dominicconner800]

I always wondered was it before or after the little mermaid 3 where music became illegal.

[@sassyattitude101]

Dominic Conner Probably after since there's music and fun in practically every episode.

[@mattm2451]

sassyattitude101 and she was already friends with Flounder.

[@dominicconner800]

That makes sense thanks

[@sassyattitude101]

Matthew Margrave That too.

[@kriscarr4929]

After!

[@WhiteRaven696]

Only 31 episodes? God, childhood makes everything feel so much longer. I remember like 80 episodes across 5 years and most of the show featuring Urchin and Gabriella. I think I'll keep my distorted childhood memories alive and not rewatch the show. At least until I have a kid.

[@kriscarr4929]

WhiteRaven696 that’s EXACTLY how I remembered it! 😅

[@codymerrell976]

Loved This show wish they could add All the Episodes in a DVD Collection and then sell the show at wall mart in a DVD Collection pack Since Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon has done that so why can't Disney ?

[@aprilb1273]

They have with other shows.

[@MetaLatias5]

they also did an episode on how Ariel and Flounder first met and I honestly like that one so much more than how they supposedly first met in the third movie

[@14mespider9]

Yeah. I like to think to myself that this series, The Little Mermaid movie and The Little Mermaid 2 are canon. And Ariel's Beginning is just some fanmade movie.

[@mvwhit87]

The song In Harmony (from the first Mantra Ray episode) literally gets stuck in my head at least once a week!!! Absolutely no idea why, but I'm not complaining!

[@Ahturos]

I really liked the episode where Ariel unfreeze a bounch of dinosaurs from Antartic ice. But I do love that Charm episode too. And the best part of the final episode with Evil Manta is his Lullaby to his son. So GOOD!

[@salem.brutus]

I vividly remember the dinosaur episode where Ariel released a bunch of dinosaurs from ice and they destroyed a ton of stuff underwater. Apparently, according to this show, the T. rex can breathe underwater.

[@romieabel2629]

I'm surprised The Little Mermaid series has dinosaurs 🦕

[@DanLohan]

this was my favourite animated disney series of all time! my favourite episodes were stormy when ariel tries to tame a wild giant seahorse and when you wish upon a starfish where we meet gabriella! another lesser known episode i really like is the beast within which is like the werewolf mythos by with fish, flounder gets bitten and becomes a howling werefish.

[@DrovShorna]

Totally remember this!! My favorite episode was the one where Ariel gets cursed or something so every time she speaks/sings, terrible things start happening so she has to be silent almost the entire episode! That one freaked me out.

[@claredawson9420]

think it;s called 'giggle' with the grumpy clownfish!

[@biancabrooks280]

I loved this tv show! It was this and Aladdin and Timon & Pumba.

[@danieldeitrick7947]

There was one episode where dinosaurs rampaged through Atlantica that was so weird but I loved it and still remember it well.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

Also talk about Milo's Return. Do it. Do iiiiiiiit.

[@patrickwilson1459]

I do. They did manage to get Jodi Benson, Kenneth Mars, and Samuel E. Wright to reprise their roles. And with the release of Ariel's Beginning it completes a chronicle franchise. Starting with Ariel's Beginning, followed by the 1992 TV Series, the original 1989 movie and Return to the Sea.

[@carissacampbell21]

I had episodes on VHS as a kid.

[@rockmusicforever90]

Yes I remember The Little Mermaid TV series which is weird cause I was a Toddler when the show was out I don't know if they showed reruns of it. I remember when Ariel freed Manta from the volcano Whitney: How many points does Kris get for remembering the Deaf Character Kris: I'm going to the Good Place 😆 LMAO Kris you are hilarious and too pure

[@kriscarr4929]

Rockmusicforever90 😇

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Internet: *crashes* Me: *Rejusts the internet and refreshes page* This video: *Comes on* Me: "When did I click this?"

[@ShadowWolfRising]

'The first one.' So that's why it looks lower quality than Aladdin, Hercules, Tarzan, and Milo's Return (Which was supposed to be a show before getting canned due to poor sales of the movie, it was also supposed to have an actual sequel called 'Shards of Chaos'.) (The Show was gonna be called 'Team Atlantis', was gonna have a crossover with Gargoyles.).

[@TentenchiAMVs]

WHAT?!? NO WAY! Where is your source?! I must read! O.O

[@ShadowWolfRising]

@@TentenchiAMVs Just google it, it's not that hard to find.
