Disney's The Little Mermaid was inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale in which a young mermaid falls in love with a human prince and his world above the waves. Ariel, a mermaid princess, dreams of being able to meet Prince Eric in person, but her father, King Triton, has forbidden anyone to go near the surface because of the dangers the humans pose to all sea life. Despite these warnings Ariel visits the surface and her singing attracts the young prince who becomes obsessed with finding that beautiful voice and the person it belongs to. Ariel makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula who will give her three days as a human in exchange for her voice. If she can get Eric to fall in love with her and kiss her she will be able to remain human forever, however Ursula has her own plans to take over the oceans and the little mermaid is just the bargaining chip she needs.
