U is for Under the Sea

Yay, we made it to the letter "U", which means it's time for another A to Z Movie Smackdown . . . animated style. Today's post features two swimmingly superb selections of the subaquatic variety (hmm, maybe I should have made this an "S" post). I can't wait to see how you all VOTE today. Will is be the titian haired mermaid with amphibious side-kicks, or the film that taught us that fish are friends, not food? Only you can decide! 

U is for Under the Sea:

    Tough one. Little Mermaid was one of my favorites growing up, while Finding Nemo is one of my favorites, period. Arrggh. I'll vote for Little Mermaid. It had some pretty catchy songs and an amazing villain.

    I should rewatch Finding Nemo. And I'll vote for it today. I never was that into Little Mermaid.

    Nemo all the way.

    When The Little Mermaid came out, I watched it with my daughter many times - we loved this movie, the soundtrack is phenomenal - NEMO got us through many a sleepless night with my son who would keep us up! This one has to be a tie!

    Finding Nemo. That movie is one that I watched till I killed the DVD. Used to be able to quote half the movie.

    Nemo just because Dorrie is the best! Although It hurt me to not love on the mermaid.

    Oh no! I love both of them. I'm a huge Disney fan. The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites when I was younger, but...I'm voting for...Finding Nemo. You can't beat it.

    Definitely Nemo. I've learned to appreciate Little Mermaid as part of the Disney canon, but I loved Nemo from the get-go, especially Dory (because she's so much like my poor mother!).

    As for as the two movies, I woudn't know. I'm sure both have some merit for the kiddies.

    Thank you for dropping by my blog. It's my pleasure to meet you.

    Oh I go with Nemo-He is a cute fish and love the characters more than Mermaid

    I would say they are tied. Its too difficult to chose between the two.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog, Palace of Twelve Pillars.

    I've only seen The Little Mermaid. Some people in elementary school and junior high used to get on me because my middle name is Ursula, as though it were only invented for that movie and didn't exist for thousands of years beforehand. It was even funnier to them because my best friend's name was Arielle.

    Never watched Finding Nemo, but if you had put Splash in there which is "vintage" now, I might have picked that. Actually I'd have to watch them all again.

      I should have! I LOVED Splash as a kid (I've always been a huge fan of mermaids).

    This is a tough one, but I think I'll go with Finding Nemo simply because it's so quotable.

    Wow, tough choice! Both movies are soooo good. But my favourite is Finding Nemo. One vote for the little fishy!

    Finding Nemo for sure! Close one though, but who can resist Dory.

    Oh, I don't know, they are both soooo very good, but will echo the commenters above and go with Nemo. Loved that movie.

    This is an easy pick for me. The Little Mermaid. I loved that movie when little so it speaks to my inner child.

    This is a tough one. I loved The Little Mermaid growing up and Finding Nemo is just incredible. my vote is for The Little Mermaid, as I did a post about under the sea, the song, today.

    What a great theme! I can't believe I didn't find you until U! My vote is for The Little Mermaid... although I love Nemo too.

    Nemo. I never found Little Mermaid very appealing, and the original story is just horribly depressing :D
