I am so excited to get my hands on a The Little Mermaid Walt Disney Signature Collection Blu-ray thanks to our partners at Disney. It’s one of my ALL TIME favorite Disney movies (Flounder has long been one of my very favorite Disney characters). You can get your hands on a copy starting February 26th and I have some free activity and coloring sheets you can print out to celebrate. Can you believe it’s the THIRTIETH anniversary of the Little Mermaid? Yeah, me either.
When I was in L.A. for the #RalphBreakstheInternetEvent I got to see Disney Animator Mark Henn in action and he even drew Ariel for us! You can read more about that here. Learning about animation, how films are made, and all the details that go into Disney animated films makes me love the classics even more.
