Well it helps to be "Ariel's" son I wanted to do a tribute book for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG AGO
My endcovers in the HARDCOVER Would be Eric being sung too by Ariel
The book would have blurbs queries as to Why was Ariel a Red Head? Lost ideas and concepts example Little Mermaid's Island What Ifs? Disney pretty much KILLED this idea when I suggested it over 20 years ago yes many a "broken" dream here NOT unlike Anderson's version
What social media is Ms Benson on there? Or is it some Christian thing?
(She is VERY religious)

From Comicbook: Disney Releasing ‘The Little Mermaid’ on 4K Ultra HD for Its 30th Anniversary
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will premiere 1989 animated classic The Little Mermaid on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format in celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2019.
Disney has yet to formally announce the release, which is available for pre-order in a Target exclusive limited-edition set that includes a filmmaker gallery and storybook. Also to be released is a 30th anniversary edition Blu-ray.
A rumored release date of February 26 has surfaced, just months after Disney released its first Walt Disney Feature Animation production — 1994’s The Lion King — to the 4K format in early December.
Directed by Disney feature veterans Ron Clements and John Musker (Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog), The Little Mermaid tells the tale of undersea princess Ariel (Jodi Benson), who dreams to become human and join the surface world. When she falls in love with Prince Eric (Christopher Daniel Barnes), much to the chagrin of her disapproving father King Triton (Kenneth Mars), a rebellious Ariel turns to scheming sea witch Ursula (Pat Carroll) and strikes a deal that leaves her without her beautiful voice and in need of the kiss of true love — lest she become Ursula’s prisoner.
The cherished classic has since been credited with ushering in the Disney Renaissance, a decade-long period that saw Walt Disney Animation Studios return to prominence with a series of Broadway-inspired and critically acclaimed box office hits, including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King.
Disney next looks to transform The Little Mermaid into a live-action re-imagining, potentially with Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Greatest Showman star Zendaya in the lead role.
An August report claimed Disney was eyeing the 22-year-old star for the role and may have already approached the actress-slash-singer with an offer. She has since expressed interest in playing the iconic Disney Princess, telling Variety, “Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
If she signs on, Zendaya could star opposite A Star Is Born breakout and Oscars favorite Lady Gaga, who is rumored to be Disney’s first choice for the role of the bewitching octopus-like Ursula.
The live-action Little Mermaid will again boast music from original composer Alan Menken, who teams with Lin-Manuel Miranda (Broadway’s Hamilton, Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns) under attached director Rob Marshall (Into the Woods, Mary Poppins Returns).

From Geekspin.co: DISNEY IS RELEASING THE LITTLE MERMAID ON 4K ULTRA HD THIS YEAR
A limited-edition set that includes a filmmaker gallery and a storybook is now available for pre-order on Target.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Little Mermaid, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will premiere the 1989 classic animated film on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format this year.
While Disney has yet to announce the exact release date, ComicBook.com reported that there have been rumors that the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format will be on sale starting on February 26th, 2019. If you want to be one of the first people to get a copy, an exclusive limited-edition set that includes a filmmaker gallery and a storybook is now available for pre-order on Target.
Directed and written by Ron Clements and John Musker, The Little Mermaid follows the story of the 16-year-old undersea princess, Ariel (Jodi Benson), who is fascinated with life on land. During one of her visits to the surface, Ariel falls in love with a human prince named Eric (Christopher Daniel Barnes), much to the disapproval of her father King Triton (Kenneth Mars). Determined to be with her new love, Ariel rebels against her father and makes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula (Pat Carroll) to become human for three days. But when plans go awry for the star-crossed lovers, King Triton makes the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter.
Disney is looking to do a live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, which was first released on November 17th, 1989. While no actress is currently attached to play the character of Ariel, That Hashtag Show reported last August that Disney was eyeing the Spider-Man: Far From Home star Zendaya to portray the titular role. A month later, the 22-year-old actress expressed her interest in bringing the Disney Princess into life, telling Variety, “Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
While it’s unclear who are aiming for the roles of King Triton and Prince Eric, A Star Is Born actress Lady Gaga is rumored to be Disney’s first choice to play the villainess Ursula. |
