Statues
Disney
Smiling excited, the young
princess from a underwater kingdom leans her small body, half human, half fish,
over a base of a sea rock from her special place, where she keeps her vast
treasure, a collection of human objects, antiques, and artifacts, representing
special memories from her adventures and new discoveries from
ship
wreckages, caves, and even from above surface. A collection composed of
gadgets, gizmos, whosits, whatsits, and thingamabobs as she calls them, but
that are actually chests, silverware on a candelabrum, pottery, bottles, and
much more, carefully stored in Ariel’s Secret Grotto. Expanding their
collection that celebrates Disney’s 100th anniversary, Iron Studios proudly
present the statue „The Little Mermaid – Disney Classics 100 Years – Art Scale
1/10” with Ariel over a base with a sea rock and some of the items from her
treasure.
Iron Studios will also release the version of the statue, „The
Little Mermaid Deluxe – Disney Classics 100 Years – Art Scale 1/10”, with the
pretty Little Mermaid in a Deluxe version, on a diorama base followed by her
friends Flounder and Sebastian over her cave with the treasures, including even
a statue of Prince Eric. And the limited
statue „The Little Mermaid 100th –
Disney Classics 100 Years – Art Scale 1/10”, with the mermaid princess on a
silver base entirely decorated, with a front plaque celebratory of Disney’s
100th anniversary, another special item so that fans and collectors can
celebrate and be a part of this centenary, made in a limited edition with
only 100 units.
Released in 1989, The Little Mermaid is the 28th
feature film from Disney Animation, vaguely based on the fairy tale of the same
name by Hans Christian Andersen, that introduces Princess Ariel as the
protagonist, a young, adventurous, and stubborn mermaid from the kingdom of
Atlantica. Her curiosity and love for adventure sometimes puts her in trouble,
however, Ariel overcomes whatever challenge she faces. Her best friends are a
fish called Flounder, and a crab called Sebastian. With bright red hairs, and
an emerald-green tail, Ariel is unhappy with her underwater life, but is
fascinated by the human world. Ignoring the advice of her father,
King
Triton, she goes to the surface of the ocean where she falls in love with
Prince Eric the moment that she sees him. When saves him from a shipwreck, he
gets charmed by her voice and promises to find the girl that he heard singing
and that saved his life even though he didn’t meet Ariel yet. Seeking for a way
of joining Eric
in his world, Ariel searches for Ursula, the Sea Witch,
that wishes to use the princess to obtain Triton’s magic trident. In exchange
for her voice, Ariel is transformed by Ursula into a human for three days. The
mermaid must receive the true love kiss from Eric to remain a human, or she’ll
become a mermaid once more, and then she’ll belong to the witch. The success of
the movie gave birth to a multimedia franchise, with an animated series for
television in 1992, a sequel with The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea
released in 2000 for home video, a prequel in The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s
Beginning from 2008, and an adaptation for musical theater on Broadway. Ariel
was incorporated in the licensed Disney Princess line, with an infinite number
of products and collectibles. A live-action version inspired by the classic
animation will release this year, and the Little Mermaid is surfing the big
waves of Pop culture once again!
Credited as the movie that started
Disney’s historic rebirth, in 2022 the movie was selected for preservation in
the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being „culturally,
