What is The little mermaid about?

Far beneath the waves, the youngest mermaid longs to discover the world above the sea. When she rescues a drowning prince and falls in love with him, she makes a dangerous bargain with a sea witch: her beautiful voice in exchange for human legs. On land, every step brings pain, and the prince does not know who saved him. As her dream begins to slip away, the little mermaid must face the cost of love, courage and sacrifice.
