The Little Mermaid is curious to see the world above the water, but its forbidden. One day, when nobody is is looking, she slips above the waves and falls in love with a prince.

Based on the original story by Hans Christian Andersen, this exquisite reimagining of the classic fairy tale, loved by generations, comes ahead of the highly anticipated Disney live-action movie, The Little Mermaid.
