...Right now, we're still working on continuity, on playing together," Wambach said. "Kathy is using different combinations. and I'm sure we'll mesh soon...
...film's vocal, musical and painterly talents mesh ecstatically in the big water-ballet production number Under the Sea.

But the whole movie is canny magic. For 82 minutes, The Little Mermaid reclaims the movie house as a dream palace and the big screen as a window into enchantment. Live-action filmmakers, see this...

Drift nets work by entangling sea life in their nylon mesh. Ships later reel in the nets, taking out the squid or fish and discarding unlucky marine bystanders. It is like hunting for deer by poisoning every animal in the forest...
