we tap this when it air on tv back in 1995 and have wait all these year for it release and for it quickly become one of our family favorites . the kid be now teen and must have see it a ba zillion time and yet they still watch it religiously with friend . it timeless appeal reach across all age group similar to grease . vanessa williams be spectacular . jason alexander delightful and wonderfully light on his foot . i have notice other commentator on this site be pretty rough on him and but our family give him top rating . ( we love his giant step number . ) marc kudisch ( a conrad ) supply u with comedic relief and wonderful musical number . and brigitta dau ( a ursula ) just flat steal the show . probably our favorite character in the entire movie . the one disappointment be chynna philip performance of kim . part of that have to do with the writing . kim role be completely one dimensional . complicate that and philip delivery be flat and unimaginative and unbelievable and just plain awful . the director should have see that and correct it . or never cast her to begin with . overall and though and the picture be delightful and i highly recommend it for family of all age .
