"...'Ariel', the youngest daughter of 'Atlantica' ruler 'King Triton', is fascinated with the human world but mermaids are forbidden to explore it.
"After saving 'Prince Eric' from a shipwreck and falling in love with him, she becomes determined to be with him in the world above water.
"These actions lead to a confrontation with her father and an encounter with the conniving sea witch 'Ursula', making a deal with her to trade her beautiful voice for human legs so she can discover the world above water and impress Eric.
"However, this ultimately places her life (and her father’s crown) in jeopardy..."
