"A jolly and inventive animated fantasy. The Little Mermaid has music and laughter and visual delight for everyone." —Roger Ebert

"Ever since it hit theaters 30 years ago, Disney's The Little Mermaid has been a favorite. Without Ariel, we wouldn't have advanced to Belle, to Jasmine, to Pocahontas, to Mulan, to Tiana, to Rapunzel, to Merida, and to Elsa. It's because of Ariel that those other princesses were allowed to evolve. Princesses can definitely be role models." —Bustle

Join us to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the film that ushered in Disney's second golden age. Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian and the gang deliver catchy tunes and a spunky tale of finding your own voice.  

In Disney's beguiling animated romp, rebellious 16-year-old mermaid Ariel (Jodi Benson) is fascinated with life on land. On one of her visits to the surface, which are forbidden by her controlling father, King Triton, she falls for a human prince. Determined to be with her new love, Ariel makes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula (Pat Carroll) to become human for three days. But when plans go awry for the star-crossed lovers, the king must make the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter.
