Original Walt Disney Productions 1997 Re-release Advance One Sheet Poster for the Ron Clements and John Musker animated musical, THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989)– starring the voices of Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Jodi Benson, and Pat Carroll. Based on Hans Christian Anderson’s 1837 fairy tale, this was Walt Disney’s 28th animated feature film. The mermaid princess Ariel makes a deal with the evil Ursula to leave the underwater kingdom and pursue her human love interest, Prince Eric. For years prior to THE LITTLE MERMAID, Disney’s animated features had been commercial and critical failures. This film marked the beginning of another hugely successful series of animated Disney films in the early 90s, including BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991), ALADDIN (1992), and THE LION KING (1994). This original 1997 re-release advance one sheet poster is rolled and in near mint condition.
