The Little Mermaid (2023)
The Little Mermaid (2023) follows Ariel, the youngest and most adventurous daughter of King Triton, who is captivated by the human world her father has forbidden. After rescuing the charming Prince Eric, Ariel makes a desperate bargain with the conniving sea witch Ursula—trading her voice for human legs—to pursue love and explore life on land. As Ariel navigates unfamiliar shores, she must win Eric’s heart before Ursula’s deal dooms her and threatens Triton’s kingdom, forcing Ariel to confront family loyalty, identity, and the consequences of her choices. Viewers can expect a visually lush, family-friendly fantasy full of wonder and warmth: sweeping underwater scenery, moments of high-stakes tension, playful humor, and touching emotional beats. Familiar songs are reimagined alongside new music, while strong performances and colorful world-building make it an adventurous, romantic, and occasionally dark tale about courage, curiosity, and following your heart.
