'The Little Mermaid' Live Action Trailer

Ariel is a young mermaid with a beautiful voice who dreams of leaving the sea and seeing what's on the surface. To achieve this, she is even willing to make a deal with the evil witch Ursula so that, in exchange for her voice, she will turn her mermaid tail into human legs. Once she succeeds, Ariel sets out to discover the world of humans she has always dreamed of, where she soon falls in love with the young and handsome Prince Eric.
