 |
| Scuttle, self-proclaimed expert on “human stuff,” proclaims that the fork is a Dinglehopper. | King Triton, flanked by heralds Windward and Leeward, proclaims a day of celebration commemorating his defeat of the evil sea witch Ursula. |
 |
 |
| Ursula, meanwhile, describes her desire to avenge her defeat by capturing “Daddy's Little Angel.” | When Eric's ship goes down in a storm, Ariel rescues him, and is captivated. |
 |
 |
| Ariel's acting strange, Flounder and the Mersisters decide, because “She's in love!” | Prince Eric has been captivated by “Her Voice” he has heard while sailing. |
 |
 |
| Sebastian the Crab advises Ariel that she doesn't need the human world—it's much nicer “Under the Sea.” | All the sea creatures join the party. |
 |
 |
| King Triton is enraged by Ariel's fascination with human artifacts . . . |
. . . and destroys her grotto with the power of his trident. |
 |
 |
| Taking advantage of Ariel's grief, the eels Flotsam and Jetsam persuade the “Poor Child” that Ursula can help her win Prince Eric. | Ursula is more than happy to promise Ariel help—in return for her voice. |
 |
 |
| She stirs up a spell in her cauldron that will give Ariel three days to win a kiss from Eric . . . | . . . and tells Ariel to sing her voice into her magic shell. Ariel is then transformed into a human and stranded on the seashore. |
 |
 |
| Scuttle and the other gulls assure Ariel that “Positoovity” will help her win Prince Eric. | In Eric's palace, Ariel marvels at the wonders “Beyond My Wildest Dreams.” |
 |
 |
| Chef Louis prepares a special dish of “Les Poissons” for Ariel's first dinner at the palace. | An entire squadron of chefs presents an array of fish dishes. |
 |
 |
| The pièce de résistance turns out to be Sebastian, and a wild chase ensues. | Eric shows Ariel that dancing is a way of communicating without words. |
 |
 |
| But time for the spell to be broken with a kiss is running out . . . | . . . so Sebastian teaches Ariel how to flirt. |
 |
 |
| While Eric takes Ariel rowing, Sebastian urges him to “Kiss the Girl,” and almost succeeds—until Flotsam and Jetsam rock the boat with an electric shock. | Grimsby, Eric's guardian, has arranged a singing contest to find the owner of the voice for which Eric is searching. Although Eric decides he wants none of the contestants as much as Ariel, even without her voice, the sun is setting on Ariel's third day . . . |
 |
 |
| . . . and Ursula appears to carry Ariel to her lair. However, Ariel seizes the magic shell, regains her voice—and Triton's trident. | Returned to human form by her father, Ariel sails off into the sunset with Prince Eric. |
