Growing up, it was easy to be swept away by the magic of Ariel’s world: the shimmer of her underwater kingdom, the sparkle in her eyes as she sang about life “up where they walk,” and the way her curiosity felt like our own. Maybe you once spent afternoons pretending the bathtub was the ocean or brushed your hair with a “dinglehopper,” wishing you could trade places with Ariel for just a day.

When The Little Mermaid first hit theaters, it marked a turning point for Disney animation. The studio had struggled through the 1980s, but Ariel’s story changed everything. The film ushered in what fans now call the “Disney Renaissance,” a golden age that brought us Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King. With Alan Menken’s music, Howard Ashman’s lyrics, and Glen Keane’s stunning animation, The Little Mermaid became an instant classic. Songs like “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl” still play in Disney parks and pop culture today — and chances are, you can’t resist singing along.
