The Little Mermaid – Story
The Plot / Summary of The Little Mermaid
One day, Ariel rescues Prince Eric, a human who nearly drowns in a storm, and brings him safely to shore. Though she knows their love is impossible, Ariel falls deeply for him. In desperation, she strikes a bargain with the sea witch Ursula: in exchange for her beautiful voice, she is given human legs. The condition is clear; she must receive a kiss from Eric within three days, or she will belong to Ursula forever.
On land, Ariel struggles to express her feelings without her voice, while Ursula uses dark magic to steal Eric’s heart. Will Ariel’s love prevail, or will Ursula’s plan succeed…?

The Little Mermaid – Review
From Papo:
Glad I got to see it!
Sebastian’s singing was incredible and really moving.
Ariel and the Prince felt a bit weak by comparison, but little kids will absolutely love it.

Quick Question
So Sebastian is actually in the show?
It reminded me of Jekyll & Hyde because the singing was just as powerful. Really impressive!

From Yuu:
Honestly, I wasn’t convinced by how they staged the “swimming” and the mermaid look. It felt a little forced to me.
