Answer 4

In the Disney movie "The Little Mermaid," the main character is Ariel, a mermaid. Her father is Triton, King of the sea. Ariel is fascinated by the human world and wants nothing more than to experience life "up above," out of the sea. Triton is over-protective of Ariel (his youngest daughter), so he is very harsh and strict with her. This causes strife between them, and Ariel, in her desperation, turns to the evil Ursula for help.

So basically, the main conflict would be about Ariel's relationship with her father. But it's also about Ariel finding herself and taking a stand despite the hardships she's faced with (such as losing her voice). Throughout the entire movie, Ariel never falters from her beliefs.
