Ariel: Celebration Under the Sea
Ariel is, of course, the star of the Disney movie The Little Mermaid. And it's a love story that starts beneath the waves.

Ariel is one of King Triton's daughters; in fact, she's the youngest (she's 16). And she's fascinated by the world of humans (much to her family's dismay).
In fact, King Triton got so angry with Ariel's curiosity that he demands that she restrain herself; mermaids and humans are not supposed to meet.
Ariel is sad about this...but it doesn't prevent her curiosity from getting the better of her. In fact, she collects human artifacts and hides them in her secret grotto under the sea.
Meanwhile, Ariel's best friend is a fish called Flounder, and she's also friends with a crab by the name of Sebastian.
As the movie progresses, Ariel saves the life of the very human Prince Eric. And she's smitten!
Desperate, Ariel visits Ursula, the sea witch. Ariel wants to be human, and she trades her voice for the chance to be human for 3 days. Unfortunately, Ariel doesn't realize that Ursula is using her to trap King Trident!
Ariel is transformed into a human and is found by Prince Eric. Alas, she can't speak of her love and before she can get the "kiss of true love", the 3 days have passed and she's turned back into a mermaid - and in the power of the evil Ursula!
A battle ensues between Ursula and King Triton, and King Triton eventually wins. As the film ends, Ariel is changed into a human (for good) by King Triton's trident, and she marries Prince Eric.
