Film Synopsis:

The Little Mermaid is visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall’s live-action reimagining of Disneys beloved animated musical classic, the story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life and her father’s crown in jeopardy. “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Rob Marshall with a screenplay by David Magee, and is produced by Marc Platt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, John DeLuca and Rob Marshall.

My family absolutely loved this movie and sang along to all the old songs and enjoyed the new ones.  My daughter, who is now 26, grew up on the original and watched it on repeat daily. It was so special watching this with her now as an adult. And yes we all even cried at the end lol
