The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning Full Movie 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning is a 2008 animated direct-to-video prequel that extends the long-loved Little Mermaid continuity into a fresh chapter, with the central young protagonist navigating an earlier era of the broader source-franchise mythology where the kingdom's relationship to music had taken a darker turn. With voice work from Jodi Benson, Samuel E. Wright, and Jim Cummings, the production keeps the warm character cadences fans of the source theatrical feature rely on while opening up the territory for further exploration.
