This newly costumed edition is more effervescent than ever. For almost four decades at Walt Disney Animation, Glen Keane became renowned for bringing to life some of the studio's most beloved and endearing characters. Learning his craft from the legendary animators who created classics like Cinderella, Keane has been the lead animator for such iconic characters as Aladdin, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and many others. He also brought to life some of Disney's most beloved Princesses, including Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel from Tangled, for which he served as animation supervisor and character animator. Ariel, the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, is enchanted with all things human. Disregarding her father's order to stay away from the world above the sea, she strikes a bargain with a devious sea witch to trade her beautiful voice for legs. But can she also win a prince's heart?
