About The Little Mermaid:

Ariel, a fun-loving mermaid, is off on the adventure of a lifetime with her best friend, the adorable Flounder, and the reggae-singing Caribbean crab Sebastian at her side. But it will take all of her courage and determination to make her dreams come true -- and save her father's beloved kingdom from the sneaky sea witch Ursula!

I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on bringing your iPad to the movie theaters? 

I've seen the movie many times and I think this would be a fun new experience.
