Oh the days when Disney Princesses ruled the magic kingdom. I mean seriously, what do men get out of the deal? Aladdin was technically a Disney prince (after the whole street rat deal.), but who gets the thespian running around the parks to take photos, PRINCESS Jasmine… Where’s the justice? Lets get back on point before I get into a rant.<\/p>\n

I love The Little Mermaid poster. Might it have been me as a seven-year old crushing on an animated hottie, or the future teenage me cheering on a rebelling aqua-human teenager.<\/p>\n

This poster has all the elements to sell the idea. The wordmark used accents that cater to the water aspect of the movie. A majority of the movie, you are watching a pissed-off teen singing about living under the sea. Apparently the graphic designers of this poster wanted to showcase the feeling of someone yearning for a new world. Though her life is pretty fun, and she’s the favorite daughter of the sea-king, the artist depicted her in darkness (depression) looking for more. \u00a0Well done, senior graphics-guy.<\/p>\n

Though really, he didn’t’ have much to work with in this piece filled with racism and misogyny. \u00a0Come on, we all know that Ron Clement and John Musker were sitting around saying;<\/p>\n

Ron: “Dude, how I am supposed to make this chick depressed? The movie can’t progress.”<\/p>\n

John: “Well you were the one that wanted her singing with that Jamaican crab.”<\/p>\n

Ron: “Hey! He’s Caribbean! Besides, they’re a jovial people.”<\/p>\n

John: “Alright, Alright. You just need to make her shut up for half of the movie.”<\/p>\n

Ron: “I got it! A sea-witch steals her voice. What’s that fat lady’s name from Gimme a Break?”<\/p>\n

John: “You mean Neil Carter?”<\/p>\n

Ron: “Perfect, we’ll name her Ursula.”<\/p>\n

John: [sighs] “I’ll prep the legal team.”<\/p>\n

Though in all seriousness, I liked the poster because it’s simulated use of light. Back before those days, artist just drew a character in darker shade and assumed that would display a lack of sunlight. \u00a0The artist had to incorporate the coldness (color temperature) of the sea while showing Disney vibrance. \u00a0Then again, the artist get’s one for two in his designs…You’ve seen the other with the phallic castle right? \u00a0Yeah…look real close…<\/p>\n
