  • As the premiere of The Little Mermaid’s long-awaited live action adaptation fast approaches, it’s easy to look back on just how much we love the original The Little Mermaid. As much as we all love this Disney classic, there’s still plenty that went on behind the scenes to get this movie off the ground that we may not be so familiar with. Did you know that “Part of Your World” almost wasn’t a part of the movie, at all? What about the fact that one of Sebastian’s most famous lines was ad-libbed? As it turns out, there are way more interesting aspects to The Little Mermaid than meet the eye. You may not know how Ursula’s appearance came to be, who inspired her makeup and mannerisms, and how exactly her tentacles saved Disney some money. You also probably didn’t know that she used to have a very fishy family tree and wasn’t quite as evil as we’re used to seeing her. But, beyond what changed about the characters before we got to meet them on our screens, a lot of work went into making this classic movie. There was one sequence that took a huge team more than a year to animate and millions of bubbles that had to be hand-drawn. And, if all of that isn’t enough, the movie was rejected before Disney gave it the okay. Luckily, it made it through and changed animation forever. We’ve got all the stepping stones and interesting behind-the-scenes facts that got it there.

    Ursula's ARMS are her other two limbs. She's an octopus.

      ​​@@DaddyOfTheSugarVarietyep. Because of that, and the fact the people behind the live action remake are bad mouthing the original film as "problematic" because "Ariel is a 1 dimensional damsel in distress who left the ocean just for a boy" claiming that the remake is "the new and improved version", I'm boycotting the live action remake.
      The Little Mermaid started the Disney Renesance and it doesn't deserve to be thrown under the bus and be bullied for being "problematic."

    I HATE that they didn't get a drag queen to play Ursula in the remake to pay homage to Divine. Lame af.

      I don't know. But I think Melissa looks great as Ursula. Her laughs chill my bone and her singing is awesome. Her design is much like Divine the drag queen who inspired the character, even though she is not truly a drag queen.
