What a great new version of the Little Mermaid. My kids are really connecting with the stories and taking great lessons with them. The animation is amazing and it sounds even better than the movies! Ariel is cute and funny and the other supporting characters really bring it all together. Glad Disney was able to pull it off so well!
Not gonna reveal any spoilers but some characters may surprise you in this new take. It's not connected to the old Little Mwrmaid movie or the new live action film they made recently. Ariel still gets curious about things and through each episode, goes on her own adventures while learning new and valuable lessons.

Why is this Ariel's hair vibrant red while the live action version was stuck with that washed out ginger? Why are all her family members black and not split between all races anymore? Why does flounder actually look like himself? Why does Sebastian suddenly sound Jamaican again? Why do we get to see the city of Atlantica here, with the merfolk involved?
Why is a TV show made for preschoolers made with more love and effort than a multi million dollar live action adaptation? These shows take years to make, so that means this version existed to base everything off of. Instead, we got thrown to the wolves with the least effort put in any Disney live action made yet.
I'm glad young children will have this version to grow up with but it's extremely disappointing to see what that live action could (and should) have been. It's visually beautiful, has lessons and songs in every episode and it's bright and colorful enough to keep any child enthralled!

Amazing music! The best Disney junior music in my opinion! Love it!! My daughter and I love the fun, bright colors, good message, and wonderful music to dance to! Hope they keep this one for a while. Nothing to complain about here - 5 stars for Ariel. The little girl also has an amazing voice.

I'm not one to watch animated stuff, but upon watching the first episode of Ariel, I was hooked. Ariel and her best friend, Lucia, are so charming and feisty..
Love this series. Once O watched the first episode, I watched two more right away. The charm of the series gives me such a warm feeling, unlike some animated stuff, that feels a bit cold...not humane.
Ariel is the best.
I think that the charm could translate into a live action film or series. That's how much I've connected with these characters and the ambience. Even the "scene sets" are so much more alive...real...than many other animated films.
Love "Ariel" so much. I'll be watching the new episodes this week!

My daughter who is on the autism spectrum loves this show so much. It's so rare she'll entertain something new so when she took to this I was excited because that meant we can finally take a break from her other shows. The music/songs the whole family finds themselves singing along. I'm shocked it has lower reviews because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the show. I'm so happy they added more episodes hopefully it sticks around for a while. The characters are adorable we've already bought merch from stores............. Overall it's been great and we finally have a Disney Jr show that grasp her attention.
