Just because summer ended doesn't mean that The Wonderful World of Disney has stopped their nostalgia-inducing Sunday night screenings of Disney classics on ABC each week. Yes, the beloved series is back for autumn and they're starting things off with a splash, literally: the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, which is getting its world television premiere tonight, October 6, at 10pm Eastern Time on the alphabet network.
"'The Little Mermaid' is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton's daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric," reads ABC's synopsis of the film. "While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father's crown – in jeopardy."
