Based on a classic fairy tale by the talented Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid (Live-Action Movie) arrives as a live-action adaptation of the 1989 animated film by Disney Studios.

Rob Marshall directs the story that follows Ariel, played by Halle Bailey, a young mermaid who dreams of living on land and going through life as a human.

Ariel makes a bargain with the evil sea witch Ursula, played by Melissa McCarthy, and trades her lovely voice for a chance to live as a human, walking with two feet and legs on land. There is a catch, which makes the story interesting. Ariel must win the love of Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, in three days to make the human transformation permanent.

All is not so easy because Ursula connives to create challenges that even Ariel doesn’t understand. Living on land is new to her, but she adjusts and tries to win Eric’s heart.

The movie has songs from the original animated film and some new ones to keep the redundancy at bay.
