I should start by saying that I bought this as a birthday present for my three year old triplet daughters and they ADORE it. They are completely captivated by it, and it is one of their favorite gifts.
It is my least favorite toy I've ever bought them. For starters, it really isn't as pictured in the first photo. Ariel has plastic hair, not real hair. Flounder is clumsily painted on the side of the boat; he is not a separate figure. The Sebastian figure is so tiny he's already been lost and the toy has been out of the package less than an hour. He does not securely attach to the boat in any way. The waves that move on the side of the boat have small pieces that shoot off that are attached to the rest of the wave piece with such a tiny amount of plastic that one of them was already falling off and I just cut it off before I gave it to the kids. The quality and value of this toy is not very impressive once you get it out of the package.
The worst thing about this toy is how much time I have to spend fixing things on it. This toy is recommended for kids 3 and up, but my 3 year olds aren't even close to being able to manipulate such teeny pieces. The oars for the boat fit in Eric's hands only one way and they fall out of his hands at the drop of the hat, so about every 30 seconds one of the girls brings the boat over asking me to "fix the stick." There are little posts on the boat benches to squeeze the dolls between to help keep them in place, but the dolls still fall out all the time nonetheless, so between putting the oars back in Eric's hands every two seconds and putting the dolls back in the boat this toy has proved to be ridiculously high maintenance.
I'm ready to chuck the thing out the window, or at least glue the oars to Eric's hands once the kids go to sleep, but every time I get fed up with the toy I see the delighted look on my kids' faces and I can't help but be glad I bought it. They seriously just absolutely love it.

This is false advertising. The picture is not of the actual set but rather of a collectible one they made a couple years back that actually had 12 inch dolls. This set has 3 inch figures that are Plastic and does not match the Disney princess dolls line.
