‘The Little Mermaid’ sparks joy

Children in their mermaid-inspired costumes join Princess Ariel in her colorful little kingdom.

Kids of all ages had a fascinating under the sea experience as Toy Kingdom and The Walt Disney Company Philippines recently brought Princess Ariel from the classic Disney film The Little Mermaid to Meet and Greet fans at SM City North EDSA.

The Disney Princess: Create Your Story launch at SM North Edsa was Ariel’s first royal visit to the Philippines, and she dazzled in her sparkly emerald fin and soft curled brunette hair as she sat in a peach clam throne. She was surrounded with colorful and pastel colored corrals and seashells making Source Athlantica instantly come to life.

Dressed in their mermaid inspired costumes, little princesses and other Disney fans had the rare opportunity to see Princess Ariel up close in a special meet and greet session. Kids from Make a Wish Philippines and Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines also had their very own special encounters with Princess Ariel.

During the event, Disney and Little Mermaid toys and merchandise such as pillows, play sets and Disney princess dolls were also made available in the selling booths where kids had the chance to shop and bring home some exciting items.

The Little Mermaid is an animated fantasy film released in 1989 that tells the story of a mermaid, Princess Ariel, who dreams of becoming a human after falling in love with a human prince.

Bring the Disney magic into your homes and check out Little Mermaid and Disney Princess toys available at Toy Kingdom Express outlets in The SM Store, as well as Toy Kingdom stores in most SM Supermalls.
