When I was a kid, I had the DVD of Disney's Little Mermaid and of course my favorite character was Ursula the Sea-Witch. One can say that she was the only reason I watched this movie as I really didn't care about the other characters.
And of course a part of this was due to her insanely cool design. As a kid I always had a thing for "octopus-people", mostly due to the best villains of my childhood's cartoons being tentacled hybrids - from Poseidon's interpretation by "Mission Odyssey" to Bai Tza the Water Demon from "Jackie Chan Adventures". (There was also this one episode of "Moby Dick and the secret of Mü" which had a girl that turned into a deadly octopus because of some curse? I need to rewatch this)
(I also thing these two cartoon series might have done something for me being into large-shouldered black-haired guys... Anyway)
But the best part of having the DVD was one of the bonuses. Because one of the bonuses was a full gallery of the dozens of unused concept art for Ursula, and this was WILD. Like seriously: before they settled on her iconic design, the creative team tried not only all sorts of body shapes and color palettes, but especially tons of different sea creatures to see which one would render the best. And let me tell you, this can give everybody inspiration for their own take on the Little Mermaid's Sea-Witch. Just look at some of them, they're crazy:

QUARTERFINAL ROUND, MATCH 1 OUR OF 4! FINALS FOR SET A!
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Ariel:
Because someone had to submit her. I mean the animated version, specifically.
She may make very stupid decisions in the name of her special interest, but you've got to admire the dedication at least! Also goddamn her singing voice.
Part of Your World still hits so hard and makes me so emotional, despite not feeling very attached to this movie. Jodi Benson has such a beautiful voice! I haven't watched the live-action remake so I don't know how good that rendition of Part Of Your World is, but this one is so incredibly powerful.
Melody:
Her movie sucked but her character was literally SO good. I love her so much. Just look at her goooo
The daughter of Ariel, Melody begins the story as a literal fish out of water. Though she's half mermaid she is forbidden from being in the sea, and is kept from the knowledge of her origins. Though she believes herself to be human all she wants is to be in the water. -She sneaks out where she is forbidden to go -Her parent finds out and the have an argument -She runs away and gets a human/mermaid transformation with the help of a sea witch
It's like Ariel's story in reverse where she's not allowed to go to the sea so she makes a deal with Ursula's sister (that we didn't know existed lmao) to become a mermaid. I remember liking the movie as a kid.
i think she counts as a little mermaid in her own right. her story is a fantastic mirror of ariel's.

Rant incoming
I feel like the problem with a lot of Disney's live action remakes (and arguably Wish) is they're trying to appeal to a crowd that no longer exists, namely the people who used to claim that the Disney Princesses were sexist.
All the interviews tend to include, "Well she's not chasing a MAN anymore" which...almost no one sees the princesses like that, anymore. Virtually NO ONE still believes the princesses are man-chasing sexist caricatures of women.
Cinderella is now hailed as an abuse victim who stayed strong long enough to get help to get out of her situation. Anyone who says she should have saved herself is basically regarded as a victim blamer. And it's very clear in the film she wasn't looking to marry the prince, she just wanted a night off. She was the only one who wasn't in line to meet him. She didn't find out she met the prince until he went looking for her!
Snow White is now hailed for her negotiation skills, ability to calm down after extreme stress (she had a moment of panic and had to cry for a bit, but who wouldn't after finding out The Queen hired someone to kill you?), and ability to take charge of a house of adult men. And again, she was an abuse victim, this time trying to escape ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. While she dreamed of her prince, it was secondary to her main goal of SURVIVAL. There are also entire video essays about how Snow White gave hope to people during The Great Depression.
Everyone acknowledges that Ariel wanted to be human BEFORE meeting Eric. We all know she was a nerd hyperfixating on humans, and also standing up to her prejudiced father.
We understand Sleeping Beauty wasn't the main character, the Three Good Fairies were, AND PHILLIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEATEN MALEFICENT WITHOUT THEM! He literally depended on them! WOMEN SAVED THE DAY! But even then, is it really such a sin for a girl to fantasize about romance and fall for someone with corny pickup lines?
We all understand Jasmine just wanted someone to treat her LIKE A PERSON. She rejected every Prince before Aladdin because they treated her like a prize. So why did they need her to want to be Sultan? How did that make her more feminist when she already wanted to be treated like an equal and have a say in her future? Is it only empowering if you want a career in politics?
We admire that Belle, despite living in a judgemental village, was kind to everyone (even though she found the village life dull), and her story teaches girls that the guy everyone else loves isn't always a good guy. What's sexist about teaching girls about red flags? And she didn't start being nice to The Beast until he started treating her with respect and kindness.
Do I really NEED to defend Mulan or Tiana? I think they speak for themselves.
Rapunzel was yet another abuse victim who just needed a little help to get out of her bad situation. In this case, she also needed to learn that she was an abuse victim, and that what Mother Gothel did WASN'T normal, much like many victims of gaslighting.
And don't get me started on the non-princess animals.
Perdita had a healthy relationship with Pongo to the point she was open to express her pregnancy fears to him, and was ready to TEAR APART Cruella's goons for daring to touch her puppies as well as adopting the other puppies. Like, she was so ferocious the goons mistook her for a hyena! She's basically that "I AM THAT GIRL'S MOTHER!" scene from SpyXFamily if Yor were a dog. She and her husband were a TEAM.....but they made a Cruella live action to turn her into a girlboss?! The literal animal abuser!? THAT'S the woman you wanted to put on a pedestal when Perdita was RIGHT THERE!?
Duchess kept her kittens calm after they had been catnapped and was classy as heck. Nice to everyone regardless of social class during a time period where that was uncommon.
Lady stood up to Tramp when she believed he had abandoned her and didn't really care about her. She found out he was a heartbreaker and was like, "Nuh uh. No. You are not doing that to me! You put me through enough."
Miss Bianca from The Rescuers was IN CHARGE the whole movie, and was willing to risk life and limb to save an innocent child. THAT TINY MOUSE TOOK ON ALLIGATORS! And she picked Bernard to accompany her because he was the only one who wasn't ogling her. And then in the sequel SHE DID IT ALL AGAIN! I wish I were as brave as her.
Like, the public haven't accused these ladies of being sexist caricatures since 2014 (Actresses and actors don't count, they're out of touch like the rest of Hollywood) yet Disney is operating under the assumption that the public still thinks that way, hence all the "sHe'S nOt AfTeR a MaN iN ThIs VeRsIOn" talk.
The live action remakes are trying to attract an audience that doesn't really exist much, anymore, and back when it did exist, was comprised mainly of people who didn't actually watch the films. The Disney princesses are no longer seen as sexist, and feminine qualities are no longer seen as weak or undesirable.

Above the waves
I'm at the beach and i can't help but think about the Octotrio trying out and feeling their legs (and feet!!) for the first time
Idk maybe they actually tried a few times before actually making the big step and go to Night Raven ? There's only Jade here, sorry Azul/Floyd fans...I'll make it up for y'all!
