Make The Little Mermaid 30th Anniversary Edition Part of Your World + Giveaway

The Little Mermaid has always been one of my favorite Disney movies.  With the truly magical combination of a spunky heroine, some of the most singable songs ever, and Buddy Hackett, you can’t go wrong.  Did you know that it’s been 30 years since the movie was released?  It seems like just yesterday I was watching it over and over again with the little girl I used to babysit after school every day.  I’ve had “Part of Your World” stuck in my head ever since.

Thirty years is a big deal, and Disney is celebrating with a special anniversary edition of The Little Mermaid.  It’s packed full of never-before-seen bonus features, and it includes a super fun sing-along mode.  This new addition to the Walt Disney Signature Collection is now available for the first time Digitally in HD, 4K Ultra HD, and Movies Anywhere as well as in 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray.

Here are the details on all of the fabulous special features you get with The Little Mermaid Signature Edition:

BLU-RAY & DIGITAL

• Sing-Along Mode – Sing along to the movie in this  sing-along version of the film.

• Alan Menken & the Leading Ladies Song – From the voice of a mermaid to the tunes of a muse, the music of Alan Menken has scored the soundtrack for some of Disney’s most iconic leading ladies. Join Alan, Jodi Benson (Ariel), Paige O’Hara (Belle), Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas Singing Voice), Lillias White (Calliope) and Donna Murphy (Mother Gothel)as we celebrate the music of their films in honor of the one that started it all … “The Little Mermaid.”  In this discussion, the ladies will share their memories of musically creating their characters with Alan, discuss what it means to be part of the Disney Princess/leading lady legacy and create new memories as they sing with Alan around a baby grand piano.

• “What I Want From You…Is YOUR VOICE” – Enter the recording studio and get an inside look at the cast of “The Little Mermaid” in their original recording sessions.

• Stories From Walt’s Office – Gadgets & Gizmos – Like Ariel, Walt Disney was a collector of many different things from miniatures to early mechanical characters that inspired the invention of audio-animatronics. We take a look at some the collections that Walt kept in his office in the third episode of this series.
