Little Mermaid Trivia: - The ship animation was drawn & animated on a computer, but photo-copied onto cells & rendered traditionally. This technique was also done for the gear-chase sequence in The Great Mouse Detective as well as for the vehicles in Oliver & Company. - The very last shot is painted & rendered in a computer using a process designed by Pixar which would be used in every single traditionally animated Disney feature after that.

Speaking of rodents with guns you should do conkers bad fur day

CGI was used in Disney films since "The Great Mouse Detective" in 1986. It was used in very different ways in that film and in "Oliver And Company" which came between both "The Great Mouse Detective" and "The Little Mermaid." basically, they made wire frame CG models for the gears in the scene where Basil & Ratigan are racing through the clock tower in"Mouse Detective" and the dense traffic in "Oliver & Company," which the artists printed/painted to blend in with the traditional animation. In "The Little Mermaid," CGI was used to enhance the whirlpool, to add ocean spray, and rain, to add bubbles and other various special effects.

Ariel must kill the prince but she can’t go through with it. Because she didn’t kill him, she, instead of turning into sea salt, got a chance to become a fairy in the sky. She has to do a huge number of good deeds for people to gain a soul or something which will allow her to live forever. Forever living is what she truly wanted (the human stuff was mostly just a hobby/Interest). Mermaids don’t live forever and instead die when they turn a certain age

In the original ending, she just dies and turns into sea foam. In the revised ending, the daughters of the air reward her sacrifice by making her one of them. She then has to do good deeds for 300 years in order to earn a soul and become immortal. Marrying the prince would have made her immortal by granting her a part of his soul. And yes, she wanted both, the prince and the soul. She did fall in love with him. It should be noted that "becoming immortal" strictly means "going to heaven". She still would have died at age 300, soul or not.

The Little mermaid is a Danish tale written by H.C Andersen. You should visit the statue of her in Copenhagen.

In the Hans Christian Anderson original: after the pain the little mermaid, she goes through to be a human (like walking on knives with each step) The Godmother (Ursula) tells her to kill the prince and let his blood drip onto her legs to cure herself. but when she sees the sleeping prince and his Bride, she throws the knife and leaps into the ocean, where it is described that she dissolves into sea foam. :D

The sound of the synth instruments are really giving me "little Nemo" vibes. I can't recall at the moment but it's GOTTA be the same studio.

I don't think they see more colours. We simply don't see ultraviolet and infrared, but they can see them as regular violet and red, and all the spectre between them. It's not really that special. Also, I think you refer to cavitation when talking of attacking technique of that shrimp. Look it up, it's an interesting effect. Basically, cold water can "boil" if pressure is very low. The shrimp strike creates an area with low pressure and water there becomes steam (not oxygen), and then it collapses inwards very quickly and causes damage. It was a big issue a century ago for the ships because cavitation could destroy the propeller screw within hours.

Happy to see this game get some love!

His full name was Hans Christian Andersen and he came from Odense, Denmark.

On Batman: The Animated Series they introduced a character named Grant Walker who was supposed to be Walt Disney, and his version of EPCOT was the evil plan that Batman had to stop. Several parallels to what you guys are talking about. Mr. Freeze even ends up as a head, on a spider body later on. Insert obligatory "Disney On Ice" joke here.

I want to give you guys a tip. Through out the game there are little secrets, take a bubbled enemy in a small openings about one square blocks, about the size of one of those small fishes, and kick them in those areas. Some areas gives you 1ups, and hearts. So if you are in a need for extra hearts or extra lives, use those to your advantage.

I played the crap out of this, when I was a kid!

@Cinemassacre Do The Lion King on Genesis or SNES next! Also, in addition to dark origins of Disney movies, Frozen was inspired by the Snow Queen and The Lion King was inspired by Hamlet!

Walt Disney had crazy plans for his City. He wanted everyone who worked for him to live there. All of his plans honestly sounded like the plot to Bioshock.
