    RIP Howard. You gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul. Wonderful lyricist you were.

      Belle, Mulan, Anna, Rapunzel, Tiana and Pocahontas are way more inspiring. Ariel is fun and all but she has many flaws.

    Glen Keane brought such sensativity to the drawing of Ariel- he's like the Lon Chaney Jr of Disney animators- his characters sometimes may look big and tough on the surface but underneath they're really sensative people who are just hurting on the inside i.e. Ariel, the Beast-I admire Glen Keane's work a lot!

    For Alyssa Milano,I would like to see Phoebe Halliwell from Charmed as "The Little Mermaid".Thank you very much for that amazing making-of.
    I still got 1989 French version on VHS with Claire Guyot (Ariel's french voice).

    I was crying even before it reached one minute. That song always gets me. Even at the very start of any Disney film, before it even starts haha. Just reminds me of being young and care free :D

    Oh lord, Menken and Ashman are geniuses. What Howard's talking about at the end...in "Little Shop of Horrors," that song would be "Somewhere That's Green!" :D TLM is...just...another masterpiece...it gives you shivers, it's so amazing. I've always related so well to Ariel. I now understand Triton better, too.

    @TDKiller415 15 років тому +2

    Funny how Sebastian sucks up to Triton while he's in his presence, but later breaks so many of Triton's rules behind his back. Just goes to show that he sees Triton just as strict as Ariel sees him.
    Kind of reminds me of Cogsworth.

    in hand drawn animation every frame is/was drawn and painted by hand. Though in the Little Mermaid we see some of the first uses of 3D animation, the scene where Ariel is running down the stairs, the stairs are 3D animation and Ariel is hand drawn. In 3D animation the set and characters are all designed and created on a computer.

    @virtu-typhoon 11 років тому +2

    Snow White actually had a lot of character development for the time, you know being the first feature length animation and all. The expectations of the story and development of animated movies are much higher than they were back in the day. Animation was just getting started in the 1920s and 30s and wasn't thought too much of. Animations were similar to funnies in newspapers then. Disney was called foolish when people heard he was going to make Snow White.

    Alan Menken and Howard Ashman knew what it took to create a true musical. Howard with lyrics and Alan with music. Alan and Howard were unbeatable team! This however, was the ONLY movie that Alan and Howard were present to receive an acadamy award for, TOGETHER. Their first movie, "Little Shop of Horrors" was nominated but didn't win any. "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" won awards, but only Alan was there to receive them because by then, Howard had sadly passed away.

    I Love the part with the pencil animation and the numbers where Ariel is singing a sample of Part Of Your World (Reprise). Expect the music is a keyboard and not the original music BUT I like the keyboard just as better. It's from 5:02 and 5:15

    @Chaostic i found this on the web, i hope is useful information ''The wedding scene at the close of the film marked one of the first use of CAPS (Computer Animation Production System) in a Disney feature. Is a digital ink-and-paint and animation production system that colors the animators drawings digitally, as opposed to the traditional animation method of tracing ink and paint onto cels. The rest of The Little Mermaid uses hand-painted cels. All subsequent Disney features have used CAPS.''

  • @Spectacular66
    @Spectacular66 16 років тому +2

    Most of the animators you see here are working on Disney's newest movie coming later this year. I'm hoping it lives up to my expectations, since it is a return to Disney's traditional hand-drawn style.

  • @geniusnextdoor
    @geniusnextdoor 14 років тому

    When an artist designs a character, there's usually a starting point reference he or she may use as inspiration. so even though Alyssa Milano may have been the original inspiration physically (even emotionally) for Ariel, the later use of live action reference performances and performances by voice actress jodi benson are going to play a much heavier role in the look and feel of the character..
    just in case anyone was curious to know as to how you get from point A) Alyssa to point B) Ariel ;)

    Tv documentary showcases the making of the movie that began the Disney Renaissance. Hosted by Alyssa Milano, we hear from directors Ron Clements, John Musker, animators Andreas Deja, Glen Keane, Kathy Zielinski, reference models Sherri Stoner, Joshua Finkle, visual effects supervisor Mark Dindal, background supervisor Donald Towns, composers and songwriters Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and actors Jodi Benson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Buddy Hacket, and Pat Caroll.

    Dear, the name is Howard Ashman and he's one of the best lyricists ever.A poet! I'll just assume you have watched The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin...Well, we owe him the lyrics of all those songs; some of them won oscars you know. He died of AIDS, as any of us could die of. His private life has nothing to do with his work.
    Plus, there's nothing wrong with being gay. Love choses no ages, races or genre. Unfortunatelly, some people don't seem to have learned that from Disney.

    Ya, I love the ending music too when the beast is about to die.
    My favourite one is the music in the beginning of the movie explaining why the prince was turned into a beast.
    *Have you ever noticed that the Beast does NOT have a name. Near the ending of the movie(after Gaston falls to his death) Belle reaches out to the beast saying: "Beast!"
    that's when I realized "Hey! He's hasn't got a name!" lmao
    I wonder what his name is? Benjamin, Jacques?(french)

    I sympathize with Ariel and I understand why Ariel left home because she was feed up with her father especially after he destroyed her things she worked so hard to collect.
