Little Mermaid
Sea-dwelling fairy tale
The Little Mermaid is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a mermaid who trades her voice for human legs to pursue a prince.
The 1989 Disney animated adaptation transformed the tragic original into a musical romance, becoming a cultural touchstone: She's obsessed with The Little Mermaid.
The phrase sometimes describes someone who sacrifices too much for love or who feels out of place in their environment.
