The Little Mermaid is a 1992 adaptation of The Little Mermaid created by Golden Films and GoodTimes Entertainment.Princess Lena desires to live in the "above world" and marry a prince more than anything. Shortly after celebrating her birthday, Lena spots the handsome Prince Stephan also celebrating onboard his ship and knows he is the one. Lena saves Stephan after his ship gets wrecked in a storm, and upon briefly catching a glimpse of Lena, the Prince falls in love with Lena too. But will Stephan's Arranged Marriage get in the way of his newfound love? And will Lena, who gains legs thanks to the help of a sea witch named Cassandra, be able to convince Stephan that she is the same girl from the sea who saved him before she gets turned into sea foam? |

comment |
Mythology Gag: One of the lyrics in the opening song is "I'll be much more than foam on the sea"; a nod to the original fairytale, where the mermaid dissolved into seafoam at the end. |
