  • Let's dive in and join Ariel under the sea! I am so excited to show you my Ariel doll for the upcoming Live Action of The Little Mermaid! We are still waiting for more official news, but I am really looking forward to the visuals and fantasy of it all. This is my version of Halle Bailey as Ariel, and I hope you guys enjoy her! I really love how she turned out (even though it took longer than usual lol). Also, yes, I threw her in a tank, and that was a big mistake!

      @@keylianettenerys2997 Disney didn't invent the mermaid design in the first place. The original Little Mermaid (who didn't even have a name) was only described as having a "clear complexion, blue eyes and a tail." And the original author, H.C. Anderson, was a pretty progressive writer for his time, so I'm sure he wouldn't have minded a change in skin color anyways; I'd imagine he'd be more irritated by Disney changing the entire storyline in their first movie.

      Fun fact: mermaids only have wrinkly tails when they're fry. As they grow up & form their humanoid upper body their tail smooths out & has a more human skin look. The whole process of a mermaid coming to full form takes about 45 years(lol so actually Ariel is in her early 60's 😹)

    This is going to sound weird but I love watching your videos before and while I fall asleep. Your so calming yet energetic and you always have such passion in your explanation it exudes good vibes and your dolls always look amazing. Thanks for the videos.

    She’s so GORGEOUS! I’m tweeting the link to this to her Twitter so she can see!
    Also I wouldn’t mind seeing you bring Starfire from the comics to life! Even the version of her from the Injustice game!
