Disregarding her institute's organization to away from the world above the sea, she swims to the come up and, in a raging storm, rescues the prince of her dreams. Determined to be benevolent, she strikes a steal with the devious briny sibyl, Ursula, and trades her fins and beautiful voice for legs. With her best c... onsociate, the charming and chatty Flounder, and her reluctant chaperone Sebastian, the hilarious, reggae-singing Caribbean crab, at her side, Ariel must earn the prince's love and save her father's monarchy -- all in a heart-pounding foot-race against stretch!

Little Mermaid, The
Disney fare based on the Hans Christian Andersen story about a mermaid who yearns to live in a human world. Her father, King Triton, won't hear her talk of the wretched fish-eaters, and she is driven to seek help from Ursula the sea witch. In an attempt to save its dwindling credibility as the most prominent producer of family films, after years of churning out tat like Pete's Dragon, Disney went back to basics (admittedly with a big budget and a sophisticated marketing campaign). Relying on a simple, recognized tale, great songs and marvellous animation, it turned it's fortunes around.

this film is superb. Ariel, a vivacious red-headed mermaid, dreams of the mystery and excitement of the human world, much to the concern of her father King Triton and his valet, the Caribbean crab Sebastian.
Together with her best friend Flounder, Ariel secretly explores sunken ships, taking her finds to the scatterbrained seagull Scuttle for analysis.
But when she saves the life of Prince Eric in a storm, a sinister outcast makes her move upon the hapless young girl.
Ursula the Sea-Witch, offers to turn Ariel into a human for three days, during which she must get Eric to kiss her, should she want to remain with him on land always.
The price is her voice, and the penalty should she fail, is a lifetime of misery, as one of Ursula's grotesque little plants.
