Get ready to see the Little Mermaid as you’ve never seen her before! Disney is releasing a brand new live-action version of the old favourite animated classic.

Ariel is a beautiful and courageous young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. She’s the youngest daughter of King Triton … and the most challenging! She’s not happy with her life as it is and longs to nd out more about the world beyond the sea. Her feelings about life on land get even stronger when she meets handsome Prince Eric and saves him from a shipwreck during a terrible storm. Unfortunately, mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, so her dad is not happy!

Sebastian the crab tries to show her how life is better under the sea, but Ariel knows she must follow her heart. So she makes a deal with the sea witch, Ursula, that allows her to experience life on land. However, the deal comes at a cost and ultimately puts her life and her father’s crown in danger. Can Ariel and her friends, Sebastian and Flounder, put things right?

Something amazing happened this week. I got to walk the red carpet at the UK premiere of The Little Mermaid

It was an interesting insight into a very different ‘world’ to mine. I felt very out of place.

In the flm, Ariel sings ‘Part of Your World’. It’s about her dreams of living on land. She longs to experience walking down streets on feet, and feeling the warmth of fre. Eventually, she gets her wish, but it comes at a cost – she gives up her voice. This got me thinking about how Jesus became part of our world. That too came at a cost – he gave up a place in Heaven and eventually died so that we could one day be part of his world. In the meantime, Jesus wants to be part of our everyday lives and help us to live the way he knows is best for us.
