One would think that a Disney game developed by BlueSky Software (VectorMan, World Series Baseball) and released by Sega would be a recipe for a blockbuster. Unfortunately, such was not the case. Ariel the Little Mermaid was a shallow, repetitive game that left many wondering how such a good license could have been squandered. With mermaids, sharks, and witches, this should have been good.
