Original TV Opening
Music Under the Sea: A Magical Thread
The Little Mermaid Theme Song is the beautiful musical opening to the animated TV series that first aired in the United States. Running on CBS from 1992 to 1994, the show gave fans three seasons and 31 episodes of underwater fun. The theme music, arranged by Dan Foliart and Mark Watters, creates an enchanting mood for Ariel’s adventures.
The opening theme is actually a mix of famous songs from the original Disney movie. You can hear parts of “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl” all blended together. By using these well-known tunes, Foliart and Watters were able to bring the same magical feeling from the big screen to your living room.
While the opening gets you excited for the show, “Under the Sea” is used as the ending music, giving each episode a happy finish. Hearing these familiar melodies makes the series feel like a true part of the original story, which fans have loved for years.
Produced in the United States, the series follows the mermaid Ariel and her friends like Flounder and Sebastian as they go on new journeys. The theme song acts like a musical thread that ties the whole series together, inviting everyone to dive back into the sea and explore with Ariel.
