Awesome survey,
solarlunarxiii! Here are my results:
When is the last time you watched TLM?: In its entirety, probably a month ago. I don't tend to sit and watch many movies from beginning to end anyway with my limited time, but I have TLM on my phone and I watch it a lot on planes. A month ago I was in Chicago auditioning for Frozen the Broadway musical and I watched TLM on the flight in!
When is the last time you watched Return to the Sea?: Gosh it's been a while, some time in early high school perhaps?
When is the last time you watched Ariel's Beginning?: It's been even longer! I think I've only ever seen it twice! So probably around 2009.
Who is your favorite of Ariel's sisters?: It's hard to choose just one favorite! I've always really liked Arista, Andrina, and Attina, but I can't pick my number one fave!
What is your favorite episode of TLM series?: Wish Upon a Starfish! I've watched it so many times!
If you were a merperson, what color tail would you have?: Some sort of shimmery turquoise fantasy <3
Have you ever seen TLM in theaters?: No :(
I was hoping for the 3D rerelease in 2013 to be my chance, but it got cancelled!
What's your favorite piece of TLM merchandise you have?: SO MANY! I just recently got this wonderful hat from the TLM Broadway musical merch line, I had been looking for it all over, I wear it all the time! I also love my Ursula nautilus necklace from Hot Topic, it's a really subtle but nice accessory for everyday wear. I also loooove my brand new Ariel Kiss the Girl inspired day dress, which is also a nice way to wear Ariel's costumes without full on wearing a corset and petticoat, it's just a day dress inspired by the look of the Kiss the Girl dress but I love it!
What's the rarest piece of TLM merchandise you have?: I have an opening night Playbill of TLM the musical signed by the entire original cast!
What is your favorite track on the TLM score (instrumental)?: Bedtime! I listen to it before going to bed many nights!
What is your favorite song from TLM?: Part of Your World! It will forever be my favorite song!
What is your favorite song from Return to the Sea?: For a Moment! Lovely duet!
What is your favorite song from Ariel's Beginning?: I Remember! Prettiest song in the film!
If Ursula could grant you one wish, what would it be?: Hmm, I don't think I would go to Ursula for any of my wish-making, knowing the price I may have to pay in return...
If Ariel was real and you could say one sentence to her, what would you say?: Thank you, you have changed my life for the better in more ways than you could ever know
What is your favorite line from TLM?: As said by our dear Scuttle: "Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important???" gets me every time HAHA!! I quote it very often, a lot of people don't know it's from TLM!
Have you ever ridden a TLM ride at any of the Disney parks? What did you think?: I haven't!! Both times I went to WDW, we just didn't have time for any of the TLM attractions! The only thing I got to do was take my picture with the statue outside of the old Ariel's Grotto in Orlando.
Have you ever met Ariel at a Disney park? What is your favorite memory from your interactions?: Never got to meet her! Someday I hope to be friends with her
Who would you want to play Ariel in a live-action remake of TLM?: ME! In all seriousness, I'm really trying to get cast but Disney will probably cast a celebrity. But there's a chance they could cast a girl either completely unknown or a little famous but under the radar. I'm hoping the perfect Ariel has a stellar voice, bubbly personality and a love for life, those are my only criteria. It would be really sad if they just got a famous pretty girl whose voice was less than wonderful, or a lookalike who doesn't give a fair portrayal of the character and relies on too many cliches and stereotypical acting. I also think Ariel can be played by girls of any races too, like how Cinderella has been portrayed in other versions, but that's probably just me. I'm personally not too picky about the look of the face and body of Ariel. As long as the hair is red (even if a girl has naturally red hair, they'll probably wear a wig), the eyes are blue (contacts can make any eyes look blue), my prior criteria are set (voice, personality, passion) and the performer really feels the character and story deep in their heart, then I will be happy!
(oops I missed a question!)
What does TLM mean to you in one word? : Love! Love of all sorts. Love of the land, the sea, family, romance, exploration, the unknown, longing for something more, hobbies, friends, and self-love and kindness!
Great questions! I look forward to seeing everyone's responses! ♥
