Disney is a company that has theme parks all over the world. Disney fans can enjoy the magic in parks in Florida, California, China, France and Japan. However, those parks would not exist without Disney’s many beloved films and characters.
The 1989 animated classic “The Little Mermaid” is a film that holds a special place in the hearts of millions. It’s a tale of a young mermaid that, despite her physical appearance, longs to “be where the people are.” In addition to Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Ursula and Prince Eric, the film has several memorable tunes.
In a video posted to YouTube, 10-year-old Claire Crosby beautifully performs every song from the Disney flick. The 5-and-a-half-minute clip features the young woman walking through an aquarium, giving the impression of “being under the sea.”
Those who enjoy the film and even people who aren’t fans of Ariel and her quest to forge her own path in life will still recognize several of the tracks. Claire belts out the lyrics to “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl.” The talented little singer even gives a dazzling rendition of “Poor Unfortunate Soul,” the song performed by the film’s evil and conniving villain, Ursula.
Yes, Claire’s vocal performance in the clip is impressive. It would be outstanding for someone twice her age. But the best part of the entire clip is the production value.
The video is shot in a way to give the impression of being under the ocean. The clip matches the look and feel of the film perfectly. At one point, there are bubbles that fall around Claire. The young woman even has multiple costume changes to go along with each character.
