fascinated by the surface where humans live
and dreams of being able to travel there if she
wanted to, despite her father's constant
objection since her mother was killed by human
in her childhood.

Shortly after saving the human prince Eric from

drowning in a storm, Ariel became more than
determined to Inally see that other world, even
to make a magical pact with the sea witch and
evil aunt, Ursula, thereby becoming human
herself.

Biography

The Little Mermaid (2023)

Exploring the wreckage

Wandering around the reef, Ariel Inds a spyglass

and tries to Igure out its use as Flounder tries to
convince her to return to the palace. Ignoring
her friend's advice, she continues to go straight
ahead, arriving at the entrance to a dark abyss
where several shipwrecks have ended. Intrigued
by a new ship, Ariel chooses to approach it
closer with a reluctant Flounder and, upon
seeing the interior, deduces that it was a
warship due to the multiple cannons before
exploring the interior.

In the cabin, she Inds a fork, which she

confuses with a miniature trident, then Inds a
mirror, whose re\ection frightens Flounder a
little. Suddenly, a white shark smashes through
the cabin and tries to eat Ariel and Flounder,
who swim as fast as they can through the boat
to escape the beast. Flounder Inds himself
numb in the sand, but Ariel saves him from the
shark by tricking the predator with the mirror
into running into it and getting stuck in it. Ariel
then leaves the place, taking Flounder in her bag
to make sure she doesn't lose him.

Chat with Scuttle

Barely recovered from the adventure, Flounder

is surprised by the sudden dive of something in
front of him, but Ariel reassures him that it is
only their northern gannet friend, Scuttle, Ishing
for her meal. Ariel shares with Scuttle her earlier
Inds so that the diving bird can identify the
objects for her due to her "knowledge" of the
human world. Scuttle mistakes the fork for an
object to brush her hair, prompting Ariel to try on
her own hair hoping to see someone do it on the
surface, not to Flounder's approval since Triton
forbids mermaids from going to the surface,
which Ariel resents due to not believing humans
are so dangerous. The trio is interrupted by a
Sebastian who has come to remind Ariel that
the Coral Moon is for tonight and that her six
sisters are already there. Realizing her
forgetfulness, Ariel says goodbye to Scuttle
before hurrying back to the palace.

A desire so deep

Ariel is reprimanded by her father for missing

the reunion with her sisters. She apologizes for
it, but when Flounder talks about the shark
attack, Triton becomes more upset since he
more than once forbade his daughter to go in
these areas of the ocean, while reprimanding
her interest in humans. Ariel claims she just
wants to know more about them, despite Triton
thinking she already knows everything there is
to know, escalating the argument to the point
where Triton compares Ariel's recklessness to
her late mother, to which Ariel replies that this is
because she is her daughter, which Triton
accepts. Her father running out of patience with
her and repeating his demand that she follow
the rules of his ocean, a distraught and
disappointed Ariel leaves without saying a word.

Ariel then make her way to her secret hideout

where she keeps every surface item she Inds.
She openly tells Flounder that her father is not
able to listen to her because she is too diZerent
from him, especially since she does not believe
that a people making such beautiful things can
be so barbaric. She begins to sing "Part of Your
World" to express melancholy how much her life
as a mermaid is no longer enough for her and
that she would so much like to discover life on
the surface by herself. Suddenly, Ariel becomes
drawn to blasts of light coming from the sky and
goes to see what it is, despite Flounder's
objection.

Saving Eric

With her head above water, Ariel admires the

Ireworks Ired by a nearby boat. Climbing into a
canoe, she observes the men dancing and
singing at the edge of the railing then begins to
interest herself in Prince Eric who was also
partying with his men before being approached
by Max the ship's dog, with whom she interacts
friendly, stroking his head. She then listens to
Eric expressing his frustration to Grimsby over
his royal duties limiting his zest for life,
something Ariel identiIes with and quickly
comes to admire the young prince's open-
mindedness. As a storm rolls in, Ariel clings to
the ship as the weather worsens until she jumps
into the sea before the boat crashes into a reef.
The ship catches Ire and the entire crew
evacuates, only for Eric to fall unconscious from
the boat after rescuing Max, but Ariel dives
down to him and saves him from drowning.

Ariel brings Eric to the beach and makes sure

that he is still alive, until he starts breathing
again. Ariel begins to sing to the barely
conscious injured human, apparently expressing
the feelings she had recently had for him,
combined with her desire to live among humans.
Grimsby and the guards arrive at the beach in
search of Eric, forcing Ariel to return to the
ocean and observe hidden behind a rock what is
happening. She then passionately ends her
song on her now tenfold dream, not only of
belonging to the human world but also of living
alongside Eric.

Trivia

In an interview, Jodi Benson, the Irst and

original actress of Ariel, stated that she is
very proud of Halle Bailey's work and eZort
in playing her character.
This is Halle Bailey's very Irst major/lead
role.
Although Ursula takes her voice away, Ariel
is still heard making a sound while
breathing.
Unlike her original counterpart, Ariel is the
one who delivers the killing blow to Ursula.
Also, Ariel engages more in physical
confrontation than her original counterpart,
confronting Ursula in Vanessa's form to get
her voice back.
This version of Ariel falls in love with Eric
because he is more like her, with both
viewing their royal life as suZocation and a
limitation on freedom.
