Huh. I thought she turned to sea foam in the original story.

Upon further investigation, she dissolves into foam but becomes a "daughter of the air", or a spirit, who has the chance to earn a soul and find her way to heaven or some such.

Thanks, Avec

By the way, I was watching the paperman short film and it reminded me of something I watched a long time ago:

Spoiler

Not that I complain, since I'm a hopeless romantic

 

[AvecAloes]

The Paperman short made me cry...I'm such a sap

 

[Glaurung]

^I'm not the only one!

 

[AvecAloes]

Definitely not. I was practically bawling in the theater

 

[looneymoon]

But even if she was his ex-wife it doesn't necessarily mean that she is Ariel's mother. Would actually make more sense too, as she would probably be more likely to sabotage the happiness of the daughter of the next wife than her own. Not that it's out of the question though.

Maybe Ariel is Tritan's next wife because that's how mermaid society works. Ursula took her rage out on her because of jealousy.

Holy shit suddenly this movie is super fucked up.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Yes! I used to get killed all the time and never got past the stampede level

I think the "Aladdin" game may have been worse. Cave of Wonders, my ass -- more like Cave of Sadism.

 

[Danseru-kun]

Disney canon showed Ariel's mom in a very obscure prequel. The reason why King Triton hates humans is because his wife got hit by a ship and died.

 

[Carlie]

Oh the headaches are coming back, I hated Aladdin for a bit because of that game. Stupid Cave of Wonders.

 

[Ite]

Loved that Aladdin game. The genie level was worth every bit of frustration of the Cave of Wonders.

I wasn't sure whether to post in this thread or make a new one since it's a show on Disney Channel, but does anyone here watch Gravity Falls? If not, you should, especially since new episodes are coming out again! Here's the opening:

The Lion King is and forever will be the best Disney, no the best movie of all time, I love that movie. Hell I'm 22 and I love a good Disney movie from time to time and yes I cried at Mufasa's death.

I defiantly say also the stage musical is awesome.I saw it in San Fransico and Las Vegas.

Yeah,I just like how they adapted Hamlet into a comedy if you think about it.Hamlet is a tragedy and is a deconstruction of revenge plots of Shakespeare's day.In my opinion Lion King is when you remake Hamlet into a lighter and softer story with a happier ending.

I am sooo jealous you have seen this. I'm hoping they're in London when I am there in September and that I have time to go and see it.

You gotta see it because its an awesome experience to behold.

Also if you can bring some friends or family who want to see it as well.

I've seen the Circle of Life performance on YouTube countless times and it gives me chills everytime I see it.

I'll say it is a marvelous scene to behold.I also like the reprise of "He Lives In You".I don't know but I just love the Afrocentric inspiration for the play.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I saw it too, and yeah, it's so worth it.

 

[Drax]

Hakuna Matata = YOLO

(Not my quote but it's awesome)

 

[Carlie]

I love The Lion King so much, I still remember vividly when my mom took me and my cousins to see it when it came out.

 

[AvecAloes]

I did like the Lion King, until my sister watched it every single day for what seemed like months after it came out on VHS.

 

[jazzflower92]

Oh,Wreck It Ralph comes out on DVD today.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Hakuna Matata = YOLO

Actually!

It means no worries for the rest of your days/

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

My favorite Disney movie is Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
