FACTS ABOUT THE LITTLE MERMAID MOVIE

I always find it interesting to learn more details about movies. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies. I think you will find these facts about the Little Mermaid very interesting.

Inspirations for Ursula

It is thought that Joan Collins’ portrayal of “Alexis Carrington” on “Dynasty” served as inspiration for the evil Ursula. That reflects Ursula’s attitude and personality.

But did you know that Divine, a drag queen character made famous in John Waters’ films, served as the primary inspiration for this sea with?

Color Palettes

If we were to look at some of the movie’s land scenes, especially those that occur early on, we would notice that the colors are light, but why?

In order to make the underwater scenery stand out, the colors were purposefully muted. Ariel’s tail fin color was particularly blended by the Disney Paint Lab; as a result, the color was given the moniker “Ariel.”

Ursula is Not An Octopus

You may have grown up believing Ursula is an octopus, but it’s time to correct that misconception, LOL. She is a cecaelia rather than an octopus. Yes, the snarky villain is a legendary creature called a cecaelia, a cross between a human and an octopus. which has two hands and six tentacles, NOT eight.

Hercules and Ariel Are Cousins

These two sea creatures are indeed related! How did that occur? Well, King Triton, the father of Ariel, is Poseidon’s son. Ariel and Hercules are first cousins once removed because Zeus is Hercules’ father and Poseidon is Hercules’ brother. This makes “The Little Mermaid” a fantastic starting point if you wish to explain Greek mythology to your children.

“Part of Your World” Was Almost Not Part of It

Yes, that is true. Jeffrey Katzenberg, the executive producer of “The Little Mermaid,” sought to cut the song “Part of Your World” after the film’s premiere; fortunately, it was left in, and it went on to become one of Disney animation’s most enduring songs.

Ariel was Not Supposed to be a Redhead

Ariel stands out from the other princesses thanks to her red hair, which has helped us get to know and love her. So, it may surprise you to learn that Disney originally had her in mind as a blonde. However, a comedy program with a blonde mermaid was airing at the time it was produced in 1984.

Ariel’s Sisters are… Bad?

Ariel’s sisters appear to be nice until you discover their hobby, which frequently leads to… death. Yes, her sisters frequently sing to sailors, convincing them that going under the sea is not something to be afraid of. You are already aware that once they have persuaded the sailors, they frequently drown.

Ursula was meant to be Ariel’s Auntie

This family connection thing has been part of the Broadway production storyline as well as the 2006 DVD re-release of The Little Mermaid, which includes a documentary that mentions their plans to make the family tie part of the film.

Ariel is the only Disney Princess That Became a Mom

Ariel was the only one of Disney’s princesses to have a child. Melody, her child with Prince Eric, was introduced to the sequel film to The Little Mermaid. Melody, unlike Ariel, was born with human feet and wishes to be a mermaid and explore the wonders of the sea.

It was Not Meant to be a Happily Ever After

In the Disney version, Ariel falls in love with the prince and abandons her mermaid life to be with him. She did not win the prince’s heart in the original version, but she was content to love him from afar. That did not last long, as when she attempted to save the prince, she lost her life and was transformed into sea foam. Just like what happens when other mermaids die.
