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. With mermaids forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel 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.

Sony's 4K of the 2016 reboot dropped Oct 11 2016 as a 4D+3D Extended Edition with HDR10, adding 17 minutes and a 3D Blu-ray. The standalone went OOP within a couple of years and trades secondhand only. Sony's 2024 Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection box gathered the original four films and skipped this one, so franchise completionists have to source the 2016 disc separately.
