I was underwhelmed by it. The sensurround sounds were obviously just a rumble effect and not really keyed the the onscreen action, outside of turning on and off at the appropriate times.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Some of the animation was very impressive. I really liked the sequence where Ursula, the Sea Witch took Ariel's voice. I watched 70mm prints of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Fantasia at the same theater. The venue is no longer there.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 11-16-2011 05:24 PM                     We've got Sensurround drivers kicking around in storage somewhere in our building... really should get them out and hook them up without telling anybody  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-16-2011 06:03 PM                     quote: Bobby Henderson The venue is no longer there.

You'll probably want to just go in the morning and stay all day, so you can repeatedly gaze at the (non-animated) title character. Back on topic, that was the movie that restored my faith in Disney animation...then "Beauty and the Beast" came later and cemented it. (Then still later, "Home on the Range" ruined it, temporarily.)  |  IP: Logged
