The Little Mermaid Dives Into the Walt Disney Signature Collection
The Little Mermaid Dives Into the Walt Disney Signature Collection
Have a Little Mermaid fan in your home? I do! If my girl could be in the water 24/7 she would, with a fin of course! With easter coming up I can’t think of a better basket stuffer than a new spring swimsuit, a favorite new blu-ray and a few treats of course! Since it’s still too cold to be out in the pool we had a fun time putting together our own mermaid tail (which could also finish off a sweet mermaid themed Easter Basket).
With a little imagination and this sweet Design Your Own Mermaid Tail Kit by Seedlings, you will have everything you need to let the little mermaid in your life create her own custom fin!
Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Disney The Little Mermaid debuted in theaters! In honor of this anniversary it has been rereleased as part of the Walt Disney Signature Collection with all-new bonus features and a sing-along mode. It is available Digitally in HD, 4K Ultra HD and Movies Anywhere as of February 12, and on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on February 26th.

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.
