if i had a nickel for everytime there was a children’s direct to dvd animation movie from the mid 2000s that feature a group of sisters who just so happens to be princesses that have very distinct color themes whose mother died several years ago and their father, the king, had personal issues balancing his duties of being a father AND a king, and the sisters found out about a secret place where they can (and do) dance the night away, and there was a woman close to the king whose job involved taking care of said princesses-sisters somehow and also was the villain of the movie, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but’s weird that happened twice

Not as good of a legitimate prequel as the TV show - #but you'd still get a kick out of it at least moreso than the second one (Ursula's crazy sister lmao) #marina del rey #benjamin little mermaid #disney

I have discovered yet another layer to the swimming ick that is King Triton.

You know how in the third movie he banishes music cause his wife died... because of pirates... that weren't playing music by the way so it makes no fucking sense, but I digress.

Yes, I know it's because he associates his wife with music, but it's still stupid.

I just read that apparently Ariel is 15 in the third movie, right. And in the first movie she's 16. So all that happens in TLM 3 happens just ONE YEAR before the events on the first movie.

That means that not only did Triton BANISH MUSIC and throw multiple of his people in jail, including Sebastian... but less than a year later, when he finally "un-banishes" music, he ACTUALLY starts making Sebastian create a concert to honor TRITON as if he wasn't the tyrant who banished music in the first place??? And threw Sebastian in jail for participating in music??? Excuse me???

The level of narcissism in this man shows no boundaries.

#the little mermaid 3 #ariel's beginning #i know it's a footloose knock-off #but triton makes even less sense than the people in footloose #i hate this man #easily one of the worst disney fathers ever #oh also his first instinct is always violence #there are red flags everywhere #he also can't tell his right from his left apparantly??? #by the end of tlm 3 he is asked to raise his right hand... he raises his left xD

Decided to remake Athena so that she would look more like her other daughters rather than an Ariel clone. Since Triton had red hair as child I decided to give Athena the same shade of brown as Attina and Aquata. This explains Aquata, Attina and Adella's hair.

In my mind, she has one parent with black hair and another with brown hair... this explains Alana's black hair and Adella's darker shade of brown.

I am guessing that Ariel, Arista and Andrina all have their hair from Triton's side of the family.

I changed the tail colour to be the same as one of the comics where we see her tail. I changed the eyes to match her daughters. I also mixed Attina and Alana's hair together. I decided to not add a crown because Ariel doesn't wear hair accesories.... in my head canon, it's something Ariel got from her mom... they both don't like hair pieces.

"Is Marina Del Rey Urs-"

No, Marina Del Rey is not Ursula. They are too different characters.

Good bye.

You know that before we had Encanto, Turning Red or even Coco, we had The Little Mermaid saga to explore generational trauma, right? We saw how death by humans has affected Triton and Ariel respectively in the original AND the prequel, and saw Ariel herself falling to the maladaptive patterns of her father in the sequel.

I'm not a fan of Queen Athena's Original Design in the Prequel to Disney's The Little Mermaid. I love Triton's Younger version but I just don't get the design for Ariel's Mother of why she looked so much like a Boring Ariel clone when she could've had looked like either one of the Other Daughters (who, mind you, that Ariel's Sisters who have different sets of their own Colors of their Mertails and Hairs do exist besides the Main One). I mean, if the Sisters were to look a lot like both of their Parents, it would've resulted into Ariel Clones and not Original Designs.

Why is it that some of the Video-Direct Sequels always give New Characters (in case if they're relatives to the Main Character) some Bad Genetics? (*Ahem* Hunchback of Notre Dame 2...).

So I wanted to do my very own personal take on a Redesign on Ariel's Mother and even King Triton's Wife, Athena if she looked like either any one of the other Daughters instead of looking too much like the Main One. I also did want to change the Necklace just in case as well as giving her some extra jewelry. 

I know for a fact that most of the Disney Sequels to the Main Focus of the Animated Films didn't aged well like Milk but needless to say that they're still a Guilty Pleasure but also a bunch of Nostalgia Classic to my Childhood Memories. Ngl, I felt really bad for Poor King Triton for losing a Beloved Wife who he loved but you can at least tell why he's the Most Protective King towards both his Daughters and People of the Sea.

But it's also sad to say the least that Athena is the only Mother in out of Every Media Adaptation of The Little Mermaid out there who tragically dies in a Prequel story to a Single Adaptation.

I'm rewatching Ariel's beginning and it's fascinating to note she just doesn't fit in with her family. She's too passionate, too firey, to interested in the wrong stuff, rebellious, etc. She struggles to fit in. So much. They find it natural. It clearly is a cause of conflict. They all wonder why she just can't be like them. She wonders why they can't accept her as she is.

As I pointed out to someone while watching this scene, why is the adult version of Aquella in the background (far right?). She doesn't have a bead bracelet around her bangs, but still has them around her ponytail? There also appears to be a combined Adrina-Alana hybrid on the far left with the mauve shell and tail, but black toned center-part/pinned back/coils hair style

This is the last and first frame of two shots of Athena in the same scene.

She looks at the pirates in the shot in-between and then magically becomes thinner.

Impending death is one hell of a diet.
