the little mermaid (2023)
in “a guide to merfolk”, we learn through eric’s annotations how much the queen despises merfolk, yet the engagement ring belonged to her mother.
what if at a point in time, the merfolk royal bloodline and human royal bloodlines lived amongst each other on land, marrying to united both worlds ?
but for x reason, the merfolk royal bloodline who resided on land were exiled from sea, being stripped of their merfolk gifts.
resulting in them teach their children and future generations to despise merfolk believing their worlds could never be together.
so queen selina or the late king most definitely had merfolk ancestry in them. this would be the only explanation as to why queen selina had the mermaid sapphire ring!
eric and ariel’s marriage is ending centuries of war between the two worlds that were once united!

I keep playing around the idea that years later while Della is a kid, she accidentally frees Jinx from the canister and Jinx sort of tricks her into helping her get revenge.

TLM 2023 really set us up for the sequel we all deserve
Show me Ariel and Eric on their adventure honeymoon
Show me them teaching each other and learning together as they explore both land and sea
Visiting Ariel’s sisters?
A little trip under the sea? (Jonah did say that he wanted to be a merman if they did a sequel)
I’d be so down for it!

ok here’s my take: when the little mermaid isn’t trying to hit every single beat of the animated film it’s a goddamn delight, and every time it decides to do a setpiece/homage to the 1989 movie after under the sea it really kind of drags (so, poor unfortunate souls, the sidekick parts of kiss the girl and honestly the moment between ariel and triton at the very end, in the boat). just. i could have watched a whole film of ariel and eric frolicking around the island bonding over their shared love of exploration and drive to see the world, and then various shenanigans after she turned back into a mermaid

I’ve just watched the live action version of The Little Mermaid and I think it’s my favourite live action remake they’ve done!!
Eric and Ariel’s relationship is so beautifully done in this version and they’ve always been my favourite Disney couple
I love their reunion so much because the hug was so sweet! I’ve always felt that hugs can sometimes be even more romantic than kisses

unpopular opinion: i lowkey miss disney cheapquels. i think at this point we all agree that while they aren’t the best part of the disney catalogue, some of them were actually really nice to watch, with good storylines and cool animation (tlk 2 and 3, cinderella 3, bambi 2… tlm 3 and tarzan 2 have insanely good animation, but the plot was just… meh). they just should have managed better which movie needed which sequel

I Choose ones that are actually sequels, not prequels or inbetweeners (sorry lion king 1/2 and Bambi 2). Also had to be direct to video, not theater release (I'm very sad I couldnt include Return to Neverland but it had a theatrical release).
Theres still others that fit this bill, but I selected ones that I've actually seen/own or ones I thought were "bigger"/better known

Do you have any ideas/headcanons for what Melody's relationships with her grandfather and six aunts are like? Also, do you have any ideas/headcanons about Ariel's Sisters/Melody's Aunts and whether or not any of them got married and had kids of their own?
A few yeah! I dont have anything really super thought out but I've always wished we saw more of Ariel's sisters in the sequal and honestly wish those three Mer-kids Melody met were written to have been her cousins:
I feel like it would have given greater depth to both why Melody would want to stay a mermaid if she'd had actual time to bond with these mer-kids, (as it didn't look like she really had any friends her age on land) and then having them turn out to be her family she didn't know about would have added great pathos to the separation of the family.
(Honestly in my head the brunette girl and the Asian boy are her cousins, and blondie is Urchin from the tv show's son)
I also realized I never had shown my Canon Descendants design for Arabella, a Descendant who's mentioned in the books as Ariel's neice. I decided to make her the daughter of Attina as she's heir to the thrown and thus it makes sense for her daughter to have a more prominent role as well.
And fun fact! Attina is actually the first sister we have (semi) canon confirmation is actually married! Another reason why I choose to keep TLM's 3 ordwr of the sisters birth, if nothing else from it. Attina always struck me as the oldest (It's the big crown ;) and having her be the first married just makes sense.
There was a short comic where Ariel helped stop Ursula from ruining Attina's wedding to this Prince Eric look alike (like seriously people you didn't even try xD also why are the merfolk wearing clothes under water??)
(Also sorry this is as good as the quality gets for this pic its very zoomed in)
However shockingly we actually see the two together in the end of The Little Mermaid 2 (or at least two people who look shockingly like them) so yeah, I'll take Attina being married at the time of the first movie as canon for the DisneyVerse.
Actually it makes way more sense for at least a few of Ariel's older sisters to already be married off or seriously involved at the time of the first movie. We'll just say their significant others are off screen xD

the little mermaid (2023)
i loved rob marshall changing the statue to not be of prince eric in the little mermaid (2023) , further proving ariel was in love with the human world itself leading her to seek ursula’s help and not just give up her whole life for some man she had just met.

Let's jazz things up a little....
BRING OUT YOUR SALT LET'S GOOOOOOOO 🧂👀👀👀
(Yes, I included some popular/beloved sequels here, not because I dislike them - hell, I downright love a couple! - but because these are literally ALL of the "Disney Princess" sequels that came out in the 90s and early 2000s. Don't @ me, just have fun voting lol)
Disclaimer: With these sequel polls, I will NOT include ones from the Walt Disney Animation Studios, which are as of June 1, 2023: The Rescuers Down Under, Fantasia 2000, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and Frozen 2.
Have fun voting and try not to start any fights over your personal faves! 😘
