“The Little Mermaid” wasn’t just an animated classic. It was a life raft of sorts for struggling Walt Disney Studios. It’s hard to believe given how dominant Disney is today…
, pushed Disney animation into new territory setting the stage for a new golden age of animation. Without “The Little Mermaid,” other classic Disney films of the 1990s such as “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin” would not have been possible.Variety
I was doing a lot of exploration on what [Ursula] should look like and started doing some research on Divine. First we were thinking of something more like Maleficent, very feminine in her stature and power. Divine had this whole other power. I started to do some drawings, and like “Oh, wow, that’s kind of scary. Can we actually do that?” We ended up pushing further in making her a little bit more fun.: In “Kiss the Girl,” you have the character of this little crab who’s playing the crooner.
The dynamic writing duo of Menken and Ashman worked side-by-side on movies like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and for some of “Aladdin” until Ashman’s death in 1991. For the 1989 mermaid classic, the two wanted to push Disney into an age where animated movies could move like musicals. The two kept classic Disney princess movie themes intact, but made it their own.[Ashman and I] were always in the same room.
When “The Little Mermaid” started production, the studio was in transition. Eisner and Katzenberg had recently joined the Disney team without having much knowledge of animation. The animators moved to a leaky warehouse in Glendale, and the team experienced a considerable amount of pressure to get the mermaid movie right.It was an exciting period, but it was also a scary period because we felt like the future was uncertain.
