Ariel's Story Studio Ariel's Story Studio (also known as The Little Mermaid Story Studio) is a point-and-click adventure interactive storybook game developed by Media Station and Creative Capers Entertainment, and published by Disney Interactive.

Despite sharing the same style of gameplay and the same primary developer in Media Station, this game has never been released under the "Disney's Animated Storybook" name, although it is generally considered to be the eighth entry in that series.
