Dive Into the Little Mermaid Musical Adventure
The Little Mermaid Musical Adventure is making waves at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As part of the “Cool Kids Summer 2025” event, this all-new stage show reimagines Ariel’s journey under the sea with a modern twist. Located in the Animation Courtyard Theater, the production combines bold visuals. It uses innovative puppetry and immersive technology to bring the 1989 Disney classic to life.
A Reimagined Classic with Bold New Elements
This isn’t your old Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Imagineering have collaborated to create a stage experience that feels fresh. It honors the original film. From blacklight puppetry and practical effects to screen projections, the storytelling envelops the audience in Ariel’s underwater world.
One of the standout moments? Ariel’s ‘swimming’ across the stage—an effect that uses clever staging and digital magic to leave guests in awe.
Familiar Characters and Iconic Songs
The cast features live performers and impressive puppetry to showcase King Triton, Ursula, Ariel’s sisters, and even Max the dog. Fans will hear classics like “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” They will also hear “Kiss the Girl” and “Daughters of Triton.”
The musical blends nostalgia with novelty, making it a hit for both longtime fans and new visitors.
