Little Mermaid: The Same Old Song

This one's got a basic plot. The sisters are getting ready to perform a musical gala that's important because Triton invited the Mer-Rajah of the Indian Ocean to come. Sebastian gets called away to conduct a jazz band and Triton orders he go, leaving the sisters on their own to prepare and perform.

Some of them want to try something new: performing a play Attina wrote. Others want to do what's expected of them.

As expected, both projects fail on their own. It's only when Ariel (of course) gets the idea to do a musical that things work out and the performance is a success.

Sister Facts:

Andrina is the most athletic.

Attina confirmed the "bookworm of the family."

Aquata is a skilled ballerina.

In Attina's play, there are six sisters with talents. These seem to correspond to the girls' talents: dance (Aquata), singing (Ariel), athletics (Andrina), beauty (Adella), and juggling (this is mentioned later to be Alana). There's also mention of an artist. By process of elimination, this has to be Attina or Arista, but I think it might be Arista, as Attina ends up playing the singing sister in the play.

Ariel isn't a good dancer.

Attina's the only sister who can hit the high notes.

There's an error on page 52, where Aquata is drawn instead of Adella.

Poor Adella thinks she doesn't have as much talent as the others, which is why she focuses so much on her looks. She feels they're all she really has. This might be when she became one of my two favorites. (The other, of course, is Attina.)
