Ariel's new look!

[Tigger1988]

yeah I am not sure it should be considered disgustingly creepy. They just use nicknames to refer to their favorite actor/actresses who portray their characters amazingly well. And I am sure the people who get nicknames are more than happy/proud it means they did a bang up job. I wouldn't mind having a fan base lol

I wonder if the guy who played Peter Pan is proud to have stalkers who post his wedding photos with cutesy sayings pasted over them.

some more pictures with better quality since the ones here a bit small.

This is Disneyland, where they're more strict when it comes to looks. She's pretty.

You thought I was being sarcastic, or something? Read post #79.

Nah I was being sarcastical myself. The character stalking at DL is weird to me. I don't get the kids these days.

I'll admit the ones who show up with cameras and ask them ten million questions and all that are a little different, but giving them nicknames is different. Like I said, different cultures.

Never once said that was alright, I was purely talking about nick names, nick names are harmless and it does not equal actual stalking.

Creating nicknames for specific actors is creepy. The fact they go enough and interact with the actor enough to give them nicknames is creepy. How is it not creepy?

Just as weird as those "social clubs" DL has, as if they're biker gangs.

I think using their real names would be creepier...

She's only in the dress at dining locations and Epcot. She's still available in her seashell glory at Magic Kingdom.

My trip will be complete now lol. My g/f might not be too happy but that's ok haha.

The Ariel we had at CRT was beautiful. I miss the starfish in her Hair

The nick names aren't creepy. I think they were just a way to identify the specific actors in all the Youtube videos that popped up. Spieling just became so popular because he was so good at the role. I mean, he was making book references at one point. But there are always people that take it overboard with anything that becomes popular. Weekend teens who can go EVERY weekend and go specifically to see a certain actor is a little crazy; as you can see in some of the videos (I don't like the constant forced interactions they do) but overall, the videos show some great character moments. But again, with so many Wendys and Alices, Hatters and Peter's, it was a natural progression to start giving them names. and usually the names originate from the person videoing (some characters have multiple names if it is a new person videoing and not knowing they already have a name). Spieling came about because the actor tended to go on little (but funny) rants about stuff, I believe.

New Ariel definitely needs something in her hair. Take away those stupid sleeves and put something pretty in her hair. Maybe not something as large as the starfish but some sort of jewelery to match her little broach maybe.

What bugs me about this particular look is it is soooo off the mark. Did ANYONE in the design crew object to it and say 'hey, maybe we should do something closer to the movie?" At least the other designs can say they look somewhat like the film's depiction. Or was it just a boardroom of Yes men working on this dress?

Cute girl, but yeah, this looks like a Generic Princess Costume. If her hair wasn't red, she could be anybody.

lol. Presenting Disney Parks Princess.

Ariel should be fin only. Legs Ariel should be reserved for shows and events. There are 11, and in 2 months, 13 princesses to choose from for dining locations - let them walk around in dresses.

Ooh, how delightfully witty!

Cute kid.

The necklace and top of this Ariel is much better than the new design. I think the starfish not all that pretty, but at least it gives Ariel some sort of oceanic identity. And no weird gloves either!

 

[TP2000]

If you don't like someone as a character, fine, buy do not insult a person like that. That's completely uncalled for.

Oh, for gosh sakes. I know many women who would kill for defined features and a square jawline. It's a compliment, not an insult. And the appearance of being 27 or so is factual, not insulting. That actress playing Ariel just looks a tad old to pull it off, but that's not her fault, it's managements fault.

Here's a pretty one with a square jaw, but she also doesn't look anything like Ariel....

 

[JimboJones123]

Adults were the ones who designed and approved the dress to begin with.

Me no understand yer retort.

Were children supposed to design it?

So confused.

Ariel's new look has debuted at the parks.View attachment 33102

Uh didn't Ariel have blue eyes???

I do have to say that the Ariel that did the Little Mermaid attraction back in the late 90s and early 2000s was really good looking...I was a late teen back then so judge away LOL

With the amount of princess shifts that need to be filled on a daily basis, ain't nobody got time to discriminate based on eye color.

 

[IWantMyMagicBand]

I don't think my kids will know who this is (we met the old ariel), will test them out tomorrow. There is nothing visible that screams Ariel...

My daughter and son both said Merida in her party outfit.....
