The young Little Mermaid - Aquaman's daughter - lives in the ocean. All the wonders of the underwater kingdom are open to her, but above all, she dreams of seeing the enchanting human world her sisters tell her about... Once, in a terrible storm, the little mermaid rescues a handsome man -the prince in the sunken ship, and fell in love with him. Ah, if the little mermaid had legs instead of tails, she could walk on land and be close to her loved one! The Sea Witch promises to grant her wish, but the price is that the Little Mermaid will have to sacrifice her wonderful voice...
