I was 6. I don't remember seeing it in theaters, but I watched it plenty of times on VHS. I recently watched it again for the first time in probably 25 years and it definitely holds up, especially the animation.
shareLet's see.... November of '89.... I was 9.
Wasnt born yet lol but i saw it first when i was 4 11 years after it came out.
shareI was 10 years old. I saw it once in the theater and of course watched it on VHS. Still one of my favorites!
shareSix....it was my favorite movie
shareToo young. I was 2 1/2.
However, I did see Beauty in the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, etc... in the following few years in the theater. 4 1/2 sounds about right. I have vivid memories of the Be My Guest scene in the theater. It might have been my first.
Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty have long been my favorites, though I have to tip the best musical score to Pinocchio. Ariel is overall my favorite of the Princesses. I had an Ariel lunchbox in kindergarten. I dressed up as Tinker Bell, Belle and Jasmine for Halloween.
I still have all of my old Disney VHS tapes. Collecting them all when the movies came out of the vault was such a big deal.
My dad had Robin Williams on his USAir flight (he was a pilot captain for PSA/USAir/US Airways) back in the early '90s, intended to welcome him aboard his magic carpet, but Robin seemed tired/introverted, so he didn't. My parents had a lot of celebrities on their flights working in the airlines, but Robin was the ultimate for him. R.I.P. I saw 5 of his films in the theater in the '90s.
I was the perfect age for the best era of Disney animation + VHS, where, for the first time, kids could watch the films over and over and over again. I find the CGI period (the current pop!Broadway sound swamping them also sucks next to Tin Pan Alley and Menken/Ashman) that focuses too much on cutesy kiddie comedy without the dramatic, serious heart of the classics to be another Disney Dark Age. It's just not classic.
I was born in 1990
share7. Didn't see it in theaters, but I loved the McDonald's Happy Meal toys. :)
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
I wasn't born yet, but I watch this movie all the time! I had a VHS tape back in 1997. I still can't watch when Ariel loses her voice, but it's a great film!
