About two weeks ago, I got a piece of concept art of Ariel tattooed to my feet! :) I call them feetmaids.

These images are from the first attempt by Walt Disney to animate The Little Mermaid. After some major plot issues, Walt shelved the story for decades until it was revisited in the mid 80’s. I love that the statue of the prince was planned even in this early version of the story. It really shows that Ron Clements and John Musker wanted to make a film Walt would have been proud of!

I hope there are some Ariel fans online tonight. This took me a lot longer than I thought it would. I really want to watch the film now!

For my 200th post, I wanted to honor every Disney Animated Classic! Shown in chronological order, here is nearly 75 years of Disney magic!
