Disney's The Little Mermaid Masterpiece Collection VHS

This item is a VHS tape edition of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid,' part of 'The Masterpiece Collection.' The tape is housed in a standard white plastic 'clamshell' case typical of Disney home video releases from the 1990s. The front cover art features Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian in the foreground, with Ursula's face and tentacles framing the top. This specific edition is marked as 'Fully Restored Special Edition' and includes a 'THX Certified' logo in the bottom left corner. The cover also features a gold metallic ornate border decoration. Physical condition shows notable wear: the plastic casing is yellowing with age, particularly along the spine and edges. There is visible scuffing and clouding on the clear plastic overlay. The paper insert shows minor wrinkling and color fading consistent with long-term storage in a non-climate-controlled environment. There is no original shrink wrap present, indicating the item is in used condition. The manufacturing era is likely the late 1990s, specifically around 1998 when this digitally restored version was released following the film's theatrical re-issue.
