A Little Mermaid Site


Welcome to Daring to Dream, my fansite dedicated to Disney's classic animated flick, The Little Mermaid and its spin-offs.


Updates


26 October 2026 : A third Lego Disney Princess special came out this year (that includes Ariel in the cast) , so I've added that special Magical Mayhem to the page. Over in the Gallery I've added 26 colouring pages from various sources and 8 activity pages also from various sources. In the Other Mermaids section I've updated the H2O: Just Add Water, Mako Mermaids: An H2O Adventure and H2O: Mermaid Adventures pages with blurbs and screencaps (since I had a marathon of the whole franchise recently) and added a page for the Chinese TV series The Blue Whisper.
6 July 2026 : I've finished watching the entirety of Disney Jr.'s Ariel season one, and to that end updated the show's page with the character listings, episode summaries, episode thumbnails, and lyrics to all the songs (it's a lot of songs!). The show's section on the music page has also been updated accordingly.
Recently the Part of Your World: A Twisted Tale novel by Liz Braswell got another sequential art adaptation in the form of a manga, so I've updated the Expanded Universe Novels and Comics pages for the same. Over in the Gallery I've added scans of the Step into Reading book Ariel Takes the Reins and the Disney Princess comic Summer Holiday. In the section of Other Versions of TLM, I've added the old anime anthology Andersen Monogatari, and in the section of Other Mermaids I've added Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Mermaid Beauty, Aryana, and OFISHially Yours.
15 February 2026 : I've updated the page for ABC's The Little Mermaid Live! with photos of the production. The Gallery has a bunch of additions, namely: eight princess graphics, six princess stories, five princess comics and a bunch of excerpts (from "Leading Ladies!", "Princessess Love School", "A Wonderful Winter!", "A Special Spring!" and "Rise and Shine!"). To the Other Mermaids section I've added the second season of the Chinese fantasy romance The Starry Night, the Starry Sea, the Romanian Sirenele franchise and the Dutch musical film K3 en Het Lied van de Zeemeermin.
15 October 2025 : A second Lego Disney Princess special came out recently-ish for Disney Princess Week, so I've added a section for that special: Lego Disney Princess: Villains Unite, to that page. To the Gallery I've added a junior movie picturebook My First Princess Stories, the Lego Disney Princess Enchanted Treasury, two Disney Princess comics and excerpts from the board books "My Sweet Valentine", "Dear Little Princess", "The Magic Unfolds" and "Princess Pals". To the section on Other Mermaids, I've added A Mermaid for Christmas and the Legend of Mermaid movies.
9 July 2025 : Thanks to a submission, I'm finally able to update the Gallery with scans of all the rest of the "Ariel's World" magazine issues, i.e. issues #32 to #40, issues #41 to #60, and issues #61 to #80. Many thanks to Molly for the massive assist! For the Live-Action Movie page, I've added scans from the soundtrack CD booklet, which feature various promotional images and movie stills. For the Expanded Universe Novels page I've added scans from The Art of Coloring: A Twisted Tale, which is a tie-in with the "Twisted Tales" novel series and has colouring images inspired by the series' novel "Part of Your World", which features older Ariel, Eric and Ursula. In the Other Mermaids section I've made pages for Wednesday, Kambal Sirena, Mutya and Raya Sirena.
22 November 2024 : A new cover album was released recently, "A Whole New Sound", which contains rock/punk versions of various classic songs, so I've made a section for their take on Part of Your World that was covered by the band New Found Glory. I've also made pages for Impossible Child, a deleted song from the live-action movie, and the other Descendants: The Rise of Red songs that feature Uliana, namely: Life is Sweeter and Perfect Revenge. To the gallery I've added scans from one new comic, A Magic Trick. I've updated the Disney Junior Ariel page with info on a few more episodes (though there's way more now), plus one of the tie-in books. On the page for the live-action adaptation I added scans from a Japanese souvenir book of the film, which has some photos and concept art. For the section of Other Mermaids, I've added info on one more Fantasy Island episode, plus made pages for the Pinocchio anime and the various Dyesebel adaptations.
