Ariel

Disney's live-action version of "The Little Mermaid" netted the top spot at North American box offices on its opening weekend, over the United States' Memorial Day holiday, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported on May 28.

Inspired by Ariel's song in Shakespeare's tragicomedy "The Tempest," Greek world music act Savina Yannatou and Primavera en Salonico present "Watersong," a program of songs from different parts of the Mediterranean about the sea, the desert, life, death and magic.
