Which Little Mermaid Character Are You?

Learn More About 'The Little Mermaid'

'The Little Mermaid' is a beloved Disney classic following Ariel, a curious young mermaid who dreams of life above the sea and makes a dangerous bargain with the sea witch Ursula to become human. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, the film helped launch the Disney Renaissance and remains one of the studio's most iconic stories.

Ariel is adventurous and headstrong, willing to risk everything for a dream of a different life. Ursula is deliciously villainous, using cunning and manipulation to seize power for herself. Sebastian is the anxious, loyal crab tasked with keeping Ariel safe, often failing spectacularly but always with heart. Flounder is a nervous but devoted friend who sticks by Ariel through every risky adventure, while King Triton is the protective, powerful ruler struggling to balance love for his daughter with his duty to their kingdom.

The film's memorable music, from 'Part of Your World' to 'Under the Sea,' helped cement its status as a defining piece of animated musical storytelling, inspiring sequels, a Broadway musical, and a live-action remake.

Each character represents a different piece of Ariel's undersea world, from her own curiosity to Ursula's ambition, making this a fun way to explore which personality you share.
