Mermaid Moon: Cartoon heroines from 90s.

(For the 90s-themed art marathon on VK.)

I was more familiar with Ariel through the 1992-1993 TV series, which occupied my attention the most out of all Disney cartoons. Disney’s and “Sailor Moon” visual styles definitely influenced my artistic sense during childhood. Also, while I admired girly shows mostly aesthetically, I definitely preferred bravery and adventures within them.

Interestingly, both heroines are princesses involved in forbidden romance and fighting against evil witches… but I guess, it’s one more thing to bring them together and to justify crossover.

It's so funny to imagine how differently that "Scuttlebutt" scene would play out with the 1989 versions of The Little Mermaid's cast.

If 1989 Scuttle decided to just start rapping out of nowhere to Ariel and Sebastian, Sebastian would have clamped his beak shut before he got past the first few verses.

the cast is perfect. i see no other ones that could have done better than what they picked for the Little Mermaid 2023.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn't understand Eric's fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there's no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must've felt alone for years until, well, her. They're twin souls. I'm gonna sob in the corner real quick.

AND

This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon 'till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library. like a fucking gentleman. 

A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.

i am so unwell over this scene you have no idea

the fact that we can tell EXACTLY what eric is thinking, how he goes from realizing ariel is a mermaid to recognizing that there's a bigger thing to focus on and he'll process the reveal later, when the woman he loves isn't in danger.

how he immediately looks down at ariel and sees her expression, he sees how terrified she is, because for the past three days he's done nothing BUT learn how to read her expressions, so he knows her fears without her having to say anything, and his only thought goes to "keep her safe, keep her here, keep her close"

and can we please talk about the physical affection between these two???? how ariel's hand goes from laying on eric's chest to holding onto his shoulder, how eric goes from just kind of holding ariel up to pulling her as close as he possibly can, curling himself around her and surrounding her in his arms, fully prepared to take the brunt of ursula's power if it comes down to it. because she's his world, and he refuses to lose her again.

and eric's GLARE??? HELLO???? the man just realized that the silent girl he's fallen in love with and the girl who saved his life is the same person and he just wanted to kiss her and celebrate that but now he is PISSED and he just wants to live happily ever after so he can and will do everything he can to get that ending for him and ariel.

Eric found one (1) person who was willing to listen to him rant abt his hyperfixation and decided that's his soulmate. same

Howard Ashman's demo track of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is definitely one of my favorite versions of that song, because it's so deliciously wicked.

You can tell this man had a lot of experience with the world of musical theater, because he understood just how much fun you can have with the villain songs.
