Synopsis
Mermaid Ariel dreams of life on land
Princess Ariel has lived her whole life in Atlantica, which her father, King Triton rules over. She is fascinated by humans and their world, while her father is deeply prejudiced against the humans above the water’s surface. Ariel is rebellious and will stop at nothing to learn more about the foreign world she admires. Her curiosity soon lands her in trouble as she strikes a deal with the nefarious sea-witch Ursula and has to deal with the consequences.
