Ariel
The Little Mermaid is the first disney rennaisance film which started from 1989-1999. The story is about a lovestruck teenage mermaid who's father doesn't want her to go to the surface as he thinks that human's are barbarians. Of course one night she sees a ship as the prince Eric is celebrating his 18th birthday. But the ship goes up on flames and Ariel saves him after he nearly drowns. She falls for him and in order for her to be with him she makes a bargain with the sea witch Ursula. But she wants her voice and so Ariel gives her voice to Ursula and she gets legs instead. She must make him fall in love with her in 3 days before the sunset falls on the 3rd day. Along with her friends Sebastian and Flounder and the hilarious seagull Scuttle she gets to meet Prince Eric again. Im not going into any details as it may spoil others who never seen it before. But it is one of my favourite films along with Enchanted, Anastasia(non disney), Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, and many more, The Little Mermaid is a must see for all mermaid lovers and fan addicts of the movie.

The little Mermaid was released on November 17 1989 and is largely accredited with being the film that heralded the beginning of the Disney Renaissance. With the average production time of an animated Disney film being 6 years this film was developed in the height of the 80’s.


The assignment of designing the heroine Ariel was left to animator Glen Keane who would go on to animate other Disney characters such as the Beast, Aladdin and Tarzan. He wanted the heroine to be reminiscent of the traditional Disney Princesses while at the same time being relatable to the ‘modern girl'. A common misconception is that Ariel was only modeled after a young Alyssa Milano.
While the live action model for Ariel was an obscure actress named Sherri Stoner, Alyssa did exemplify the 80’s teenager, which was reflected in Ariel. So the assumption is only partly true because Glen Keane did in fact referr to several young girls as well as Milano to see what hair styles were in and what was considered beautiful in teens at the time.

Attina has an orange tail with a matching seashell bra and brown hair, and wears a crown-like tiara similar to her father's. She is described by her sisters as being bossy but has often displayed being the most responsible. According to Ariel’s Beginning, Attina is the eldest (and is likely the next-in-line to the Atlantican throne). This was determined by her unique crown, robust voice, as well as speculation that her name is a Jamaican pronunciation of her mother’s name, Athena. Although her name was most likey taken from Alan Menken's rock opera "Atina, Evil Queen of the Galaxy."

Aquata has a blue tail with a matching seashell bra and brown hair that is worn in a ponytail tied up in a band of white pearls. In extension media released from 1989 onwards, she is the eldest daughter of King Triton. However, in Ariel's Beginning, she is not the eldest sister, but at the middle age, and her main characteristic seems to be a slight aggressiveness towards Arista, who borrows her stuff without asking, and a lack of grace. Her name is a variant of the Latin base Aqua meaning 'WATER'...
