DISNEY'S ULTIMATE UNDERSEA ANTAGONIST FLIRTS WITH DIVINITY.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1080x1347 -- Spotlight on a Divine & Ursula (or vice versa) mashup piece, and part of the Six Fan Arts series "Divas & Fictional Characters" by Sveta Shubina, c. 2021.

DIVINE/URSULA OVERVIEW: "There was one key Minkoff drawing, where it was just a drawing where [Ursula] looked like a Miami Beach matron. [Lyricist] Howard Ashman liked that. We liked that. That was a key one," said Clements.

"Howard said, "This is great. She looks like a Miami Beach Matron." And we got into a whole thing about Divine," said "The Little Mermaid" codirector John Musker on the audio commentary for movie's recent signature collection release.

The Baltimore-born drag queen, who had starred in 1988's "Hairspray" as Edna Turnblad, became a big source of inspiration for the sea witch.

"Some of the early development art that Rob was doing and others were doing, was really trying to get some of Divine's big, campy, overweight diva, get that into the witch. And so there are still vestiges of it in the witch," said Musker.

A Disney Animation representative told INSIDER that John Musker played more with Minkoff's Divine-inspired version of the villainess. Animators Kevin Lima ("Enchanted" director) and Glen Keane took the design even further in the Divine direction, giving her a mohawk hairstyle similar to the star in "Pink Flamingos."

It's not tough to see the influences of Divine in the final character. Ursula's hair, wide smile, her big personality, and the way she carries herself all appear to be references toward the performer."

-- INSIDER, "How "The Lion King" co-director, a drag queen, and one of Disney's greatest animators helped bring "The Little Mermaid" villain to life," by Kirsten Acuña, c. 2019
