When Will The Live Action ‘Little Mermaid’ Be Streaming on Disney+?

Disney’s latest live-action musical, The Little Mermaid, which was released in theaters in May, will soon be “part of your world” at home on VOD!

The star(fish)-studded cast features Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Awkwafina as Scuttle the seagull.

The film follows the classic tale (or should I say tail) of Ariel, a mermaid who is fascinated by the depths of the ocean and what lies above water and on land. When she finds herself in a chance encounter with Prince Eric and saves him from drowning by pulling him back to shore, he falls in love with her.

Ariel then takes a doomed deal with Ursula, the sea-witch who happens to be her father King Triton’s (Javier Bardem) sister, trading her voice for legs to live on land.

The film is accompanied by Disney music icon’s Alan Menken musical classics such as “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl,” but also features some new hits that were co-written by Moana and Encanto composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, such as Prince Eric’s ballad “Wild Uncharted Waters.”

So, when can we watch The Little Mermaid from the comfort of our own homes? When will it be streaming on Disney+? Read below to find out.

The outlet also revealed that the film will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray and DVD on September 19.
