Plot

Prince Eric, eighteen years old, and his manservant Grimsby are aboard a sailing ship. From

the sailors, Eric learns about Triton, the ruler of the sea who can control the oceans. He

rules a kingdom of merpeople in the watery depths.

Underwater, a sixteen-year-old mermaid princess named Ariel is dissatisfied with life under

the sea and curious about the human world. Ariel, with her best friend, a fish named

Flounder, collects human artifacts, and visits the surface of the ocean to visit a seagull

named Scuttle, who offers comically inaccurate knowledge of human culture. Ignoring the

warnings of her father, King Triton, and the court musician, Sebastian the crab,[5] that

contact between merpeople and humans is forbidden, she longs to be part of the human world;

to this end she has filled a secret grotto with all the human artifacts she has found.

Ariel and Flounder travel to the surface to watch a celebration for the birthday of Prince

Eric, with whom Ariel falls in love. The birthday celebration is cut short by a storm,

during which the ship is lost. Eric almost drowns, but is saved by Ariel, who drags him

onto a beach. She sings to him, but when he stirs awake, she dives underwater. Eric has a

vague impression that he was rescued by a girl with a beautiful voice; he vows to find her,

and Ariel vows to rejoin Eric.

Later, Triton and his daughters notice a lovesick Ariel. Sebastian tries to impress her

with the wonders "Under the Sea", but Ariel sneaks off with Flounder midway through the

song. Triton questions Sebastian about Ariel's lovesick behavior, during which Sebastian

reveals Ariel's secrets. Furious, King Triton confronts Ariel in her grotto, during which

he destroys her entire collection. A pair of eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, convince a

distraught Ariel that to rejoin Eric, she must visit Ursula, the Sea Witch.

Ursula makes a deal with Ariel to transform her into a human for three days. Within these

three days, if she plans to remain a human, she must receive from Eric the "kiss of true

love"; otherwise she will transform back into a mermaid on the third day and be owned by

Ursula. In exchange for her voice, Ariel is turned into a human by Ursula's magic.

Ariel is helped to the surface by Sebastian and Flounder. There she is found by Eric, but

when he learns that she cannot speak, he discards the notion that she is the one who saved

his life. He helps her to the palace, where the servants think of her as a survivor of a

shipwreck. As for Sebastian, he stumbles into the palace kitchen and narrowly escapes being

turned into stuffed crab by Chef Louis.

While Ariel is enjoying life with Eric in her tour of the human kingdom, Sebastian,

Flounder and Scuttle try to get Ariel and Eric to kiss so Ariel will become human

permanently. They come close to kissing, but are thwarted by Flotsam and Jetsam. Angered at

the close call, Ursula takes the disguise of a beautiful young woman named "Vanessa" and

appears onshore singing with Ariel's voice, which is housed in a magic nautilus shell

around her neck. Eric recognizes the song, and "Vanessa" casts a hypnotic spell of

enchantment on Eric.

The next day, Ariel finds out that Eric will be married to "Vanessa" on a ship. She is left

behind when the wedding barge departs. Scuttle discovers Vanessa's true identity and

informs Ariel. Ariel and Flounder chase the wedding barge, Sebastian informs Triton, and

Scuttle is assigned to "stall the wedding." With the help of various animals, the nautilus

shell around Ursula's neck is broken, restoring Ariel's voice back to Ariel and breaking

Ursula's enchantment over Eric. Realizing that Ariel was the girl who saved his life, Eric

rushes to kiss her, but the sun sets and Ariel transforms back into a mermaid. Ursula

reverts back to her true form and she kidnaps Ariel.

Triton appears and confronts Ursula, but cannot destroy the contract Ursula made with

Ariel. Triton chooses to sacrifice himself for his daughter Ariel and is transformed into a

polyp. Ursula takes Triton's crown and trident and declares herself queen, which was her

plan from the beginning. Eric dives into the sea and throws a harpoon at Ursula; in the

fight, as Ariel attacks her, Ursula accidentally kills Flotsam and Jetsam. Angered, Ursula

transforms into gigantic proportions and stirs up a storm using the magical trident. A

whirlpool is also formed, which disturbs several shipwrecks, one of which Eric commandeers.

Just as Ursula is set to destroy Ariel, Eric rams the ship's splintered bowsprit through

Ursula's abdomen, killing her in a huge explosion.

Her power broken, the polyps in Ursula's garden, including Triton, turn back into

merpeople. Later, Triton willingly changes Ariel from her mermaid form into a human using

his trident. She runs into Eric's arms, and the two finally kiss. The final scene is Ariel

and Eric's wedding, with both humans and merpeople as attendees.
