The Little Mermaid Live by The Wonderful World of Disney
The Little Mermaid Live was a 2-hour broadcast featuring some of our favorite artists. If you haven’t seen a splendid celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Little Mermaid, take a quick tour of some of the spectacular images from the live show.
This special tribute to the original animated classic and its timeless music takes viewers on a magical adventure under the sea as live musical performances by a star-studded cast are interwoven into the broadcast of the original feature film.

You already know the voice of Auli’i Cravalho who was behind the Moana character. She has lended her creative genius to the Little Mermaid, Ariel.
You can listen to Moana’s song performed by Auli’i Cravalho, too.
Do you remember a moment when all Disney princesses were reunited in one place, at one time, all at once? Well, it was in Ralph Breaks the Internet!

The show was spectacular! I am sure ABC will show it again and will put it into archives for people to revisit this unique classic remake.

We watched it as a family. John Stamos should be thrilled. My kids were convinced that he was going to play Prince Eric.
This was so fun to see on TV! I loved it, Disney did a great job with this!
This looks amazing! I have always loved The Little Mermaid and the Live version looks over-the-top awesome!!!
Looks like an amazing! I wish we could have a chance to see it! My kids will surely love it!
This is such an amazing play. Full power cast and amazing costumes. I am thrilled.
Thank you for this fabulous post. My kid loves the Mermaid story.
I didn’t get to see this live but I bet it was fun to watch!
I didn’t get a chance to watch this but it looks amazing. I’ll hope they air it again or release it for streaming.
I am really excited to see this! It’s been years since I have seen this movie… I think I was 7.
We watched it last night, and it was so good! I loved the way they bounced back and forth from the stage to the cartoon.
Oh wow! This is an awesome production! Queen Latifah as Ursula gives me goosebumps! I would love to take the girls to see this!
Brianne,
It was a live broadcast on TV! 2 hours of it!
I am sure there will be a recording that they will create for distribution.
