The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (2008)

Plot: After a terrible tragedy in King Triton's once-happy undersea kingdom of Atlantica, the dejected ruler decrees that all music be banned from his realm. Almost a decade later, Princess Ariel--the most rebellious of Triton's seven charming daughters who still cannot understand why her father is against melody--sneaks out one night, only to discover an illegal speakeasy brimming with music. Excited, Ariel wants more; however, with a headstrong father and a vigilant nanny, she has her work cut out for her. Can Ariel, the little mermaid, restore happiness and harmony to Atlantica?

Alternative Plot: In this animated film, a grief-stricken King Triton (Jim Cummings) outlaws music in the wake of the death of his wife, Athena (Lorelei Hill Butters). When Flounder (Parker Goris) discovers that the irrepressible Sebastian (Samuel E. Wright) has been singing at an illegal undersea speakeasy in defiance of the king's decree, Ariel (Jodi Benson) struggles to sneak out without getting caught by the royal court's maniacal nanny, Marina Del Ray (Sally Field).
