As payment for legs, Ariel has to give up her voice, which Ursula takes by magically removing the energy from Ariel's vocal chords and storing it in a nautilus shell. Eric and Max find Ariel on the beach. He initially suspects that she is the one who saved his life, but when he learns that she cannot speak, he discards that notion. Nonetheless, Ariel spends time with Eric , and at the end of the second day, they almost kiss but are thwarted by Flotsam and Jetsam.
Angered at their narrow escape, Ursula takes the disguise of a beautiful young woman named " Vanessa " and appears onshore singing with Ariel 's voice. The next day, Ariel finds out that Eric will be married to the disguised Ursula on a ship. She cries and is left behind when the wedding barge departs. Scuttle discovers that Vanessa is Ursula in disguise, and informs Ariel. As Ariel and Flounder chase the wedding barge, Sebastian informs King Triton , and Scuttle is assigned to literally "stall the wedding.
Realizing that Ariel was the girl who saved his life, Eric rushes to kiss her, but the sun sets and Ariel transforms back into a mermaid. Ursula reverts to her true form and kidnaps Ariel. King Triton appears and confronts Ursula , but cannot destroy Ursula 's contract with Ariel. King Triton chooses to sacrifice himself for his daughter, and is transformed into a polyp. Ursula takes King Triton 's crown and trident , which was her plan from the beginning. Ursula uses her new power to gloat, transforming into a giant, and forming a whirlpool that disturbs several shipwrecks to the surface, one of which Eric commandeers.
Just as Ursula is set to use the trident to destroy Ariel , Eric turns the wheel hard to port and runs Ursula through the abdomen with the ship's splintered bowsprit, mortally wounding her.
With Ursula gone, her powers are broken and the polyps in Ursula's garden including King Triton turn back into the old merpeople. Later, after seeing that Ariel really loves Eric and that Eric also saved him in the process, King Triton willingly changes her from a mermaid into a human using his trident.
She runs into Eric 's arms, and the two finally get married. The plot of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea focuses on Ariel 's daughter Melody who longs to be a part of the ocean and is ultimately manipulated by Ursula 's vengeful sister, Morgana , into stealing the trident for her. The film is essentially a re-telling of the first film, to the point that Morgana has two manta ray cohorts very similar to Flotsam and Jetsam, desires the trident and revenge against King Triton , and is even voiced by Pat Carroll.
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is set before the events of the original film, in which King Triton has banned music from Atlantica , and Ariel , her sisters , Sebastian and Flounder rebel against this new law while a greedy palace official, Marina Del Rey , seeks to claim Sebastian 's position for herself.
It is really clear that Ariel is the youngest daughter of King Triton in all the franchise. The Little Mermaid was originally planned as part of one of Walt Disney 's earliest feature films, a proposed package film featuring vignettes of Hans Christian Andersen tales.
Development started soon after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the late s, but was put on hold due to various circumstances. In , The Great Mouse Detective co-director Ron Clements discovered a collection of Andersen's fairy tales while browsing a bookstore. Eisner and Katzenberg passed the project over, because at that time the studio was in development on a sequel to their live-action mermaid comedy Splash and felt The Little Mermaid would be too similar a project.
The next day, however, Walt Disney Studios chairman Katzenberg greenlit the idea for possible development. Elina a fairy visits Mermaidia in an attempt to save her friend Prince Nalu a merman and his kingdom.
