Profile of The Little Mermaid

The mood of The Little Mermaid is emotional, feel good, and uplifting. The plot centers around impossible love, an imaginary kingdom, and following your dreams. It is an animation, family, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, The Little Mermaid is fairytale-like and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is fantastical. It takes place, at least partly, in an ocean or sea. The musical score of The Little Mermaid is show tunes. It is based on a book. The movie is known for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. The Little Mermaid is especially suggested for kids and a family outing.

Summary of The Little Mermaid

Mermaids are supposed to stay under the sea, but Ariel, a headstrong teenager, longs to be part of the magical world on land. When she falls in love with a human prince, Ariel strikes a bargain with the diabolical Sea Witch to win the prince's love. The Little Mermaid is a beautiful splash of art and music that revived the classic Disney tradition.
