This animated fairy tale is based on the story of Christian Andersen.
Few things in life are as enduring as a fine fairy tale, especially the classic stories of love and sacrifice, wit and wisdom.

The Little Mermaid is one of those rare and timeless tales, richly animated and lovingly narrated to enchant children and adults alike.

The Little Mermaid is one of Anderson’s most beloved tales; it is the story of the Little mermaid who gives up her beautiful voice so that se can be human and close to the land-dwelling prince with whom she has fallen in love.

In the faithful retelling of the classic you will learn that a ‘happy ending’ many take many forms: the Little Mermaid never wins the heart of her beloved, but she does achieve a different happiness, a special reward for her good and loving way.
