(M56) the little mermaid

ariel the 16 year old daughter of the king of the ocean has two characteristics- a fascination with all things human and a great voice. she goes above sea level to watch a celebration on a boat and she catches sight of a handsome prince and falls in love. when a storm causes the ship to crash, she saves the prince. there is no way to gain the prince's love except by selling her soul (her voice) to the demoness of the deep. if she cannot get the prince to kiss her within three days she will forfeit her real soul forever. despite being deprived of her greatest asset the prince is almost in love with her, but the demoness changes her appearance and uses ariel's voice to enchant the prince. the wedding is interrupted just in time by ariel's allies the birds, but the sun sets without the kiss and ariel is about to be turned into a soulless monster and in her stead the king of the ocean, triton, gives his soul to the demoness. the prince in an epic battle with the demoness kills her and thus frees all the captured souls and the king returned to his former greatness sees his daughter's great love for the prince and he turns her into a human and though this deprives ariel of contact with her father and sisters it means a happy life with the prince.
