1990 A new decade Little Mermaid just came out with a breath of hope
and in TV guide Magazine an announcement
A TV series was to come out to be made by The Jim Henson Company
Never saw the light of day September 1992 the show came out traditionally animated show
BUT What of the 1990 project?
For the apparent few that come her for any reason I shall tell you a story about one of the most unknown aspects of Disney's Ariel
The Jim Henson Show
After the success of 1989's Little Mermaid Disney decided to continue the films success by a possibility of A TV series
Using the Jim Henson studios a live action show would be proposed called Little Mermaid's Island Featuring Ariel Sebastain Flounder Scuttle Grimsby Flotsam Jetsam and Max the dog with new characters Scales the dragon and Sandy Flounders sister
The series would have been essentially Dumbo's Circus with puppets (obviously) for certain characters Ariel and Grimsby would be played by live actors and as the title implies it takes place on an island an "enchanted island" Scales lived there
Two episodes were made as a visual aid to what the show was supposed to be BUT it never came to be
Production problems budgets problems and the death of Jim Henson all contributed to the show never airing
1990 when computers only were DOS and the internet was only in a few places WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED ANYONE COULD SEE IT
NOW 2015
anyone can
Go to you tube search Little Mermaids Island and see for yourself
AND though the show never aired it did become the book series Little Mermaids Treasure chest
I have no involvement in the you tube thing on ANY level
or do I
