The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies growing up. Ariel was, and still is, my all time favorite Disney Princess. The movie was released in 1989. In case you haven’t seen it, The Little Mermaid is about a young mermaid who doesn’t like her fathers rules, and doesn’t like not being able to explore. Ariel is a very curious and adventurous mermaid who often gets in trouble. Her father, King Triton, has a lot of rules for their family, and tries to keep everyone safe, but Ariel pushes her limits a lot. One of her favorite hobbies is collecting things from the land above that were lost at see. One day she witnesses a ship accident, and saves someone from on board. She pulls the man to the shore. After that it is her wish to go ashore and meet him, and she gets that wish, but it costs her her voice. She falls in love with the man, who is Prince Eric, but has to be kissed by him before three days are up. When I was a little kid I thought that it would be so cool to be a mermaid, so that might be why Ariel is my favorite princess. If you haven’t seen the movie I strongly recommend watching it.
