The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (Trailer)

It’s a prequel starring Ariel, a much better premise than Ariel’s daughter in the last one.

Lassetter is limiting these direct-to-video films. He’s slowing down production so that less are made and the level of quality is much higher. You can even see from the videos below that this Little Mermaid has production levels of a theatrical release. There is a lot more shading, volume in the designs, and the animation is a lot smoother.

However, Ariel realizes her passion for music in a secret club. Unsure of whether to hide her love for music, or to share it with her father and risk losing everything, Ariel goes on a daring adventure to restore music to Atlantica.
