The Little Mermaid
"The Little Mermaid" is a fairy tale about a young mermaid princess who trades her voice to a sea witch for legs so she can pursue love with a human prince she rescued. Though the original Hans Christian Andersen tale ends tragically with the mermaid sacrificing herself, it has become best known through Disney's 1989 animated film, where she wins the prince's heart and gains a happy ending.
