Program Notes
Against her father’s wishes the little mermaid Ariel goes looking for adventure in the human world. The Little Mermaid, the 28th Disney animation film, was released in 1989 and is based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen that has all the ingredients of a classic novel including longing, love, beauty and the battle between good and evil. In the film the fantastic animation and of course the music contribute to the enchantment. This medley contains: Under the Sea, Kiss the Girl and Part of Your World.
