The Princess and the Sea Witch
The Disney princess whose voice was taken by Ursula is Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989). In the film, Ursula, the sea witch, tricks Ariel into trading her voice for a chance to walk on land and be with Prince Eric.
How Ursula Stole Ariel's Voice
Ursula uses a magic potion to strip Ariel of her voice, binding the spell to the deal. Without her voice, Ariel cannot speak or reveal the truth, which drives much of the movie's conflict and emotional tension.
Why This Plot Point Matters
The loss of voice is a key symbol in the story, representing sacrifice, identity, and the dangers of making deals without full understanding. The scene has become one of the most memorable moments in Disney animation history.
