The Little Mermaid TV Series Review

Hey there Disney fans a few days ago I realized that i've never reviewed The Little Mermaid TV show despite not only growing up with it but also seeing and reviewing the movie well now that changes with my review of The Little Mermaid TV Series.  

The show is a prequel to the movie but it's also an episodic series so there's no real plot to speak of which is fine if you've just watched the film and want to see more from these characters but if your like me and you grew up with the series first then you might be disappointed.

Now what's pleasing about this series is the fact that most of the films cast came back to voice there characters and those actors are Jodi Benson , Samuel E. Wright , Kenneth Mars and Pat Carroll and honestly they all do a perfect job with reprising there characters in all honesty the voice acting for this series is pretty spot on.

Now since this is a TV the quality in animation of course will take a huge dip but even I was shocked at how bad the animation was the characters alot of the times have awkward movements to them and are just plain drawn weird which is a shame because apparently Disney got the best TV animators they could to work on this series.

What really didn't work for me and it also got old very fast was the fact that the series tries to have many emotional moments in every episode i'm not opposed to a show having these kinds of moments but when they appear in most of the episodes it starts to get old very quick and the reason why they didn't work is because they didn't feel earned.

As I mentioned this is a prequel so there's no real threat at all both to the characters , there relationships or the kingdom why because there all in the movie so making a prequel series makes no sense why didn't they instead make a sequel series.

The comedy for me is very and i mean very hit and miss alot of the jokes in the series just flat out don't work and and aren't funny but the jokes that do work at best will only get a chuckle out of someone and won't make them laugh out loud.

We might as well call this series a musical since there's a song in most of the episodes and not all of them are bad infact alot of them are at best ok none are really memorable but that doesn't mean there not good all though I don't know why they mixed "Part of Your World", "Under the Sea", and "Kiss the Girl" for the opening theme it just seems like an odd thing to do.

Overall if you want to see more from these characters and that world then this is the show for you but if your not a fan of the film then I advise that you stay away from this show for me the show gets a 5 out of 10.
