Under the Atlantic Ocean, in the kingdom of Atlantica, Ariel, a mermaid dissatisfied with her life, is fascinated by the human world and collects human artifacts in her grotto. With her best friend Flounder, Ariel visits Scuttle, a seagull who gives inaccurate information about humans. However, her father King Triton, the ruler of Atlantica, says contact between merpeople and humans is forbidden. One night, Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian, a crab who serves as Triton’s adviser and court composer, travel to the surface to watch a birthday celebration for Prince Eric.
