While The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure is a perfect pick for kids to experience! The show is a fun, condensed version of The Little Mermaid, making it a great way for kids to get out of the sun and enjoy some air conditioning with a musical tale.

For scariness, if your kid can handle the movie, they’ll likely be fine with the show. The character of Ursula is a bit intimidating, so just be prepared that the larger puppet could be a little scary.
