Film Synopsis

The Little Mermaid is visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall’s live-action reimagining of
Disney’s beloved animated musical classic, the story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited
young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and
the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while
visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to
interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea
witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places
her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Rob
Marshall with a screenplay by David Magee, and is produced by Marc Platt, Lin-Manuel
Miranda, John DeLuca and Rob Marshall.
