âThe Little Mermaid,â visionary filmmaker Rob Marshallâs live-action reimagining of the studioâs OscarÂź-winning animated musical classic, opens exclusively in theaters nationwide May 26, 2023. âThe Little Mermaidâ is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Tritonâs 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 â and her fatherâs crown â in jeopardy.
