My twin daughters (age 4 years old) love this video. It contains 2 stories--"Wish Upon A Starfish" and "Metal Fish." Now if you're going to compare these with the full-length Little Mermaid movies then you will definitely be disappointed. However, if you put into perspective that these short segments were created for a young audience (as opposed to "for all ages") then I think you'll find that they are very entertaining for young Ariel fans.

In the Disney princess collection "Wish Opon a Starfish,this is a loveing tale of friendship. My daughter always wants to watch these when she is sad or scared. So, I am telling everyone that the Disney princess collection is not scarey!!!!

I first saw this when I was a 5 year old girl in the 90's and bought it with my money my grandparents sent me in the mail for my birthday. I LOVE this vhs. The message and song Ariel sings with the sign language girl is BEAUTIFUL. I now watch this with my niece and she loves it just as much as I do.

I purchased this story as a part of Volume One from Babies R Us on DVD. I thought it would be a very sweet DVD with new stories of Ariel for my 2 year old to watch as she loves the princesses. BUT, I found the Ariel story of Wish upon a starfish to be very frightening for a 2 yr old. The DVD did not have a rating on it (like G, PG, etc) and there was no description on the back explaining the story had monsters and frightening scenes of thunder storms in it. I feel it would have been better if the DVD had listed a short decription of the story on the back and a suggested age should have been printed as well. I would say this DVD is good for age 9 and up. But definitely not a toddler. I just wish I had enough information ahead of time and I would not have purchased this DVD. Especially since I can't return it now that it's open.
