Ariel is a young mermaid, with red hair and beautiful blue eyes who wants to be a human, so she can explore the world and meet the prince Eric, who she is in love with since she saved him from death in a shipwreck. She wants to have legs, to see sun, to feel like a human...
She's desesperated, so she decides to talk with Ursula, the witch of the sea, who hates Ariel's dad. Ursula tells Ariel that, for having legs, she must give her her wonderful voice, just having the chance of getting it back if Eric gives her a true love kiss in three days. Ariel, excited with the idea of having legs, accepts.
She goes to the beach, where Eric finds her (he was in love with the girl who saved him, and with her voice, and he thinks that that girl is Ariel). They spend a lot of time together, but they never kiss, because Ursula and her henchmen are always there to ruin the moment. There is another problem, Ariel is voiceless, so Eric is having doubts about her...
Taking this chance, Ursula becomes into a beautiful woman, and she uses the voice of Ariel, trapped in a shell-shaped necklace, to confuse Eric. He believes Ursula, and they get engaged. Everything seems ruined, but, when Ursula and Eric are celebrating their wedding, Ariel's sea friends (Flubber the fish, Sebastian the crab and Scuttle the seagul) take the necklace from Ursula's neck, so she appears as she is: a fat and old octopus woman. The truth is discovered, Ariel gets back her voice, she marries Eric and the marine world and the human's one become a community.
I like this character because it is very funny and innocent, it's also beautiful, and the whole film is one of the bests of Walt Disney, whose films I love, with their wonderful soundtracks.
