If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please feel free to contribute. She is the seventh and youngest daughter of King Triton and Queen Athenarulers of the undersea kingdom of Atlantica. Ariel lived through much of her young life with a passionate - yet forbidden - admiration of the human world, and longed to someday experience life on the surface. However, unlike Andersen's fairy tale in The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) the nameless protagonist dies, the Disney animated feature film has a happy ending. Ariel is the fourth official member of the Disney Princess The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess). The feature was to be a very faithful adaption to Hans Christian Andersen's tale with the Mermaid dying and turning into sea foam in the end. However, after writing the script and illustrating the storyboard the project was shelved to focus on other projects also in the works such as DumboBambiand Fantasia. There have been alternate statements, however, that indicated that Disney may have intended to go for the happy ending route. In the mids, the project was finally reopened, yet Disney decided to disregard the dark and grimy aspects of Andersen's story and make the film a more child-friendly version with a much happier ending which worked better for the company's brand. The development team, however, indicated that the changes given for the film coincidentally matched up with the changes Walt Disney made during his attempted take on the film. During development, the studio officially gave their Little Mermaid the aquatic-like name of "Ariel". Ariel's original design was developed by animator Glen Keanewho had reportedly said in an animation lecture that she was based on his own wife. Her appearance was also based on model Sherri Stonerwho provided live-action references for the animators during the development of the film and also inspired the look for Belle. A challenge in animating her for the film was the color required to show her in the changing environments, both under the sea and on land, for which the animators required color models, not including costume The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess). The sea-green color of her mermaid tail was a hue specially mixed by the Disney paint lab; the color was named "Ariel" after the character. She The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) been compared to past Disney Heroines but is more physically similar to Alice from Alice in Wonderlandand Belle from Beauty and the Beastas they all have big eyes, a broad forehead and a small mouth and chin. Jodi Bensonwho was predominantly a stage actress when she was cast, was chosen to voice The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) because the directors felt "it was really important to have the same person doing the singing and speaking voice. When recording the vocals for Ariel's theme song " Part of Your World ", she consented to Howard Ashman 's suggestion that the lights in the studio be dimmed, to "feel a bit more enclosed" and create the feeling of being deep under the sea. She was also encouraged to soften The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) singing voice almost to the point of speaking so that the song would feel more intimate. Benson has remained as the main voice of Ariel since. Voice actress Melissa Fahn auditioned for the role and was called back many times, but was turned down because she sounded slightly too young. Ariel is a bright, spirited and headstrong mermaid princess with a strong passion for adventure and exploration. Her tendency to explore the more mysterious depths of the ocean or more importantly, the world beyond the ocean can lead to an array of problems to both herself and her friends, and in the confines of her personal life - as seen when she gets into an argument with her overprotective father, King Triton. Despite this, Ariel's selflessness, compassion and intuitive way of thinking often resolve such problems, as she always takes full responsibility for her actions. At the start of the original film, Ariel is shown to have a burning obsession with the human The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) and a desire to learn more about their culture. Unlike her father at first, she views humans as aspiring creatures, astonished by their ability to constantly create, and heavily goes The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) the idea of them being "barbaric" and selfish as a result of this. This passion is revealed to have been prominent throughout Ariel's life years before the events of the film, as seen in the television series. By the point of the film, as seen through her lament, " Part of Your World ", Ariel's obsession with the human world has reached unimaginable heights, as she spends most of her time focusing on finding, observing, and collecting various human objects that have sunk into the sea. Her obsession has also taken a toll on her emotionally, as the The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) begins with a sense of wonder and enchantment, ultimately climaxing in a soft end, filled with hopelessness and despair, representing Ariel's dying hopes of ever experiencing life upon the surface. These factors of desperation and despair are the prime motive behind Ariel's eventual deal with the sea witch, Ursulato become human and experience the world above the surface. Despite not having the best relationship with her father, especially in regard to their respective views on humanity, she nonetheless was very loyal to him as well as her sisters, as after Ursula explained the deal to her, Ariel expressed some hesitance as she realized that if she succeeded in the deal never mind if she failed her end of the bargain she wouldn't be able to see Triton or her sisters again, and later The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) Ursula cursed Triton, Ariel's first action was to attack Ursula to avenge him, even calling the Sea Witch a monster for what she did. Ariel is also shown to be extremely compassionate and loving towards almost all living things; more so platonically than The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess). This is most notably seen through her friendship with her closest companion, Flounderand even her father's court composer, Sebastian who, despite being against Ariel's recklessness and overly adventurous nature, is given a The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) large amount of love and respect from the princess, which is often reciprocated. With Flounder, she is comforting and patient, as well as protective, with the The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) to risk her own life for the guppies on various occasions. Her ability to befriend all various creatures, which be an abandoned killer whalean irrationally feared sea creature and even the son of one of her nemeses are displayed throughout the franchise. Before she met Eric, she was rarely interested in romantic relationships, not even with any of the merman princes that Triton tried to get her to marry. The only known exception was Prince Waverly of the Pacifica Kingdom, with whom she was infatuated. However, after meeting Eric, Ariel is revealed to be a romantic, willing to make daring sacrifices for the sake of true love. Her love for him is validated by Eric's returned selflessness and sacrificial actions for the sake of love; notably seen during the climax of the film. Like her father, Ariel has a bad temper if she ever is provoked, although hers is not as bad as his. Although spirited, even she has had some degree of self-doubts about herself, as she actually at one point considered her father might have been correct and that she may have been a freak for having any fascination for humanity. She also had a degree of seeing the The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) in things, as she also doubted that humans could have been pure evil from their tools and artworks. Also, despite her usual naivety and impulsiveness, Ariel has shown on many occasions to be serious, careful, and very intuitive. One example of The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) occasionally showing intuitiveness was just before exploring the sunken ship, where she suggested that Flounder stay outside and be on the The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) for sharks in the area when the latter tried to fake illness. In The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Seaas an adult, Ariel has matured into a sophisticated and distinguished woman; fully embracing her responsibilities as a mother and the princess consort of Eric's kingdom. However, when Morgana threatens Melody at her christening, Ariel becomes overprotective of her daughter similarly The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) how she was treated by Triton in the first film. As a result, she severs all ties with Atlantica and the ocean in hopes of preventing Morgana from using Melody's heritage to her advantage. Despite being happy with her new life, she misses her father and sisters, but keeps this hidden from Melody for the latter's own safety. She comes to realize later in the film that this decision does more harm than good. At one point, however, Ariel does subtly allude to her true heritage as she mentioned to Melody when sympathizing with her about not fitting in that she was "a fish out of water", with Melody not quite believing her.

  • ARTISTS' RIGHTS and LADY and the TRAMP Required
    ARTISTS' RIGHTS AND LADY AND THE TRAMP 1 In 1952, singer Peggy Lee entered an agreement with Disney to work on the animated film Lady and the Tramp. Peggy Lee wrote six songs, sang three, and was the voice for four characters in the 1955 film. Lee was paid $3,500 for her participation. Disney retained all rights to revenues earned from distributing the movie to theatres and television broadcasting companies in domestic and foreign markets. Lee retained the right to residual payments at 12.5% for such items as phonographic recordings sold to the public. Specifically, the contract gave Disney the right to distribute the film including the rights to “any other technology yet to be invented,” but § 12(b) of the agreement provided that Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is agreed that nothing in this agreement contained shall be construed as granting to us (Disney) the right to make phonograph recordings and/or transcriptions for sale to the public, wherein results or proceeds of your services hereunder are used. In 1987 Disney began distributing videocassettes of the film. Lee sued in March 1988, claiming she was entitled to $9 million. Specifically she claimed that she was entitled to 12.5% of the profits Disney generated from the sales of videocassettes of Lady and the Tramp on the basis that the distribution of the videocassettes was not authorized by the 1952 contract. Disney countered that the distribution of the videocassettes was authorized in the contract and that Lee was therefore entitled only to residual payments for her songs and voice performances, which would be capped (under union rules) at $381,000.

  • The Disneyfication of HC Andersen's "The Little Mermaid"
    Hugvísindasvið Happily Ever After The Disneyfication of H.C. Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Emma Havin Sardarsdóttir Febrúar 2015 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English Happily Ever After The Disneyfication of H.C. Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" B.A. Essay Emma Havin Sardarsdóttir Kt.: 150390-3979 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir February 2015 2 3 Abstract This B.A. thesis takes a close look at H.C. Andersen's classic tale "The Little Mermaid" published in 1837 as well as Disney's animated version The Little Mermaid released in 1989. Disney's works have become well known globally in the past few decades and the original tales and stories Disney uses for the animations have fallen into their shadow. Andersen's original tale can therefore come as a surprise to many that have only seen Disney's film. In the Disney version little mermaid no longer has the desire to leave her world under the sea to acquire an immortal soul but instead gives up her fin for a pair of legs and her voice to the evil witch so she can spend the rest of her human life with prince Eric. Spirituality is cut out and Disney adds sickly sweet and romantic notions instead. Disney has throughout the years mastered the art of remaking old fairy tales and folklore and has with great success put together a formula that will not only catch the eye of the viewer in a heartfelt manner but also make a great deal of profit from it.
