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.
