The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning

A prequel that sings before it swims, testing if Ariel can harmonize without a live-action Prince. Before she traded scales for soulmates, her mother’s death silenced the sea and her father banned every note. Ultimately, the least interesting villain is the one who outlaws fun.
