What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.

The little mermaid rescues a prince from drowning and falls in love with him. To be with him, she makes a deal with the evil sorceress: her beautiful voice against a life on land.
