Synopsis

The Little Mermaid is Ariel - daughter of Triton, King of the Sea. Ariel dreams of life above the water, and one day dares to venture there against her fathers wishes. She meets and falls in love with handsome human Prince Eric, and unwisely calls upon banished evil sea witch Ursula to make her human too. Loosely based on the story by Hans Christian Anderson, this Disney classic features some classic songs such as Under the Sea and remains as enchanting as ever.
