The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning	comment	The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is the 2008 Direct to Video Prequel to Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989) and, as of 2023, the last of a very long chain of DTV Disney Animated Canon sequels, prequels, and midquels after John Lasseter took charge of Disney's animation department and killed any future films of this nature. (The rise of 3D animation no doubt played no small part in this as well.) note Ironically, the only movie in said chain with a story set entirely before its predecessor (predecessors, in this case). This film reveals the cause of King Triton's fear and hatred of humans to be the death of his beloved Queen Athena, Ariel's mother.During a family excursion on the surface, Triton (Jim Cummings) gives his queen Athena (Lorelei Hill Butters) a music box. A pirate ship appears, and Athena is killed while attempting to save the music box. Heartbroken, Triton bans all music from Atlantica.Years later, a now teenage Ariel (Jodi Benson), dissatisfied with life, joins an illicit music club. Meanwhile, the princesses' governess Marina Del Ray (Sally Field), with the help of her manatee assistant Benjamin (Jeff Bennett), is plotting to get Sebastian's (Samuel E. Wright, in his final film appearance) job as Triton's right-hand man.Followed in chronological order by The Little Mermaid (1989).
