History
Following the permanent closure of the classic long-running Voyage of the Little Mermaid show on March 15, 2020, due to the negative effects of the pandemic, it was announced on December 19, 2023, that the show would be replaced by a reimagined show inspired by the animated film in the newly refreshed Animation Courtyard theater at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was also said that the show would feature new visual innovative plans to completely reimagine the show telling the story of Ariel longing to be part of the human world. In addition to including the "Kiss the Girl" song as seen through concept art, it was also announced that the show would include songs from the film such as "Part of Your World" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" with an opening date scheduled for fall 2024.
On June 10, 2024, Disney shared a first look at two new puppets that would be used during the musical and that it was confirmed that the show would use all new puppets. One of the puppets revealed in a sneak peek was Max, Prince Eric's pet dog with another one being a sea turtle with a pink and purple shell. It was also confirmed that this puppet would be used in a blacklight sequence like in its predecessor.
