This colorful adventure tells the story of an impetuous mermaid princess named Ariel who falls in love with the very human Prince Eric and puts everything on the line for the chance to be with him. Memorable songs and characters -- including the villainous sea witch Ursula.
Editor's Verdict
"The only detected Christmas element is 'Holiday Release,' which refers to the movie's distribution timing, not its content. The movie's setting, plot, themes, iconography, and resolution are entirely centered around mermaids, the ocean, and Prince Eric, with no discernible connection to the Christmas season or its traditions."
