when was the little mermaid released on vhs
The Little Mermaid (1989 film) In a then atypical and controversial move for a new Disney animated film, The Little Mermaid was released as part of the Walt Disney Classics line of VHS and Laserdisc home video releases in May 1990, six months after the release of the film.[15][30] Before Mermaid, only a select number of Disney's catalog animated films had been released to home video, as the company was afraid of upsetting its profitable practice of theatrically reissuing each film every seven years.[15] Mermaid became that year's top-selling title on home video, with over 10 million units sold (including 7 million in its first month).[31] This success led future Disney films to be released soon after the end of their theatrical runs, rather than delayed for several years.[15]
The Little Mermaid (2018 film) In May 2017, it was reported that the film had been picked up for distribution by Netflix and would debut on the streaming service sometime during summer 2018.[5]
The Little Mermaid (1989 film) The 28th Disney animated feature film, The Little Mermaid was released to theaters on November 17, 1989 to largely positive reviews, garnering $84 million at the domestic box office during its initial release,[4] and $211 million in total lifetime gross worldwide.[3] After the success of the 1988 Disney/Amblin film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid is given credit for breathing life back into the art of Disney animated feature films after a string of critical or commercial failures produced by Disney that dated back to the early 1970s. It also marked the start of the era known as the Disney Renaissance.[5]
Once Upon a Time in Venice The film was released in a limited release and through video on demand on June 16, 2017, by RLJ Entertainment.
