For those less familiar with the beloved tale, The Little Mermaid follows Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton who is defiant and determined to find out more about the world beyond the sea. While visiting the surface, she falls for Prince Eric, who also longs to expand his horizons beyond the world he knows.

While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula for a chance to experience life on land, placing her life and her father’s crown in jeopardy. Among the platforms fans are currently able to access the film are Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vudu.

When the film arrives on Disney+ this September, bonus content will be released on the streaming platform as well, including Javier Bardem as King Triton performing the song, “Impossible Child,” “Passing the Dinglehopper,” and “Under the Sea – Song Breakdown.” Don’t miss it for yourself, check out The Little Mermaid when it finally arrives on Disney+, and look out for the DVD and Blu-ray formats when they are released a few days later on September 19.

Bonus content on the DVD and Blu-ray formats include sing-along versions of the film, song breakdowns, bloopers, and more. In the meantime, check out the links above for a place to purchase the film for viewing now if you just can’t wait until the Disney+ release.
