We can’t think of a better way to celebrate International Mermaid Day (March 29) than by checking out the new teaser video from Disney Junior’s Ariel! The show, which premieres on Disney Junior this summer, is billed as an “animated musical series for preschoolers inspired by the beloved story of The Little Mermaid.”
Watch below:
The CG-animated show is set in the fantastical Caribbean-inspired underwater kingdom of Atlantica, the series follows young mermaid princess Ariel as she embarks on fun-filled, action-packed mermaid adventures with her friends. It features King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian and Flounder, as well as exciting new additions like Ariel’s two best friends, mer-children Lucia and Fernie, and lots of other adorable sea creatures.
The series stars Emmy Award winner Mykal-Michelle Harris (Disney Channel’s Raven’s Home) as Ariel and Taye Diggs (Rent) and Amber Riley (“Glee”) as King Triton and Ursula. Disney Junior’s Ariel is executive produced by Lynne Southerland (Mulan II,Happily Ever After).
