Ursula shows interest in Ariel before Ariel ever sees Eric. The Eric thing was just convenient, not just bc it made Ariel want to be a human even more, but because Triton is gonna flip his lid when he finds out.

Part! Of! Your! World! Like the whole song the lyrics. The fucking lyrics man. This is not subtext this is text. And it's text that's important enough the crew fought Katzenberg to keep it in.

Ursula is manipulating Ariel. Like that's an important thing you can't just not talk about. She's convincing Ariel that taking her deal is the only way that Ariel can be happy. She is using using not just Eric against Ariel, but also what's that? The fact that Triton had just destroyed Ariel's collection that she spent years curating. It's not all about some fucking guy. The only reason the romance is central to the plot is that Ursula made it so.

Officially licensed 1993 Super Mario Kart toy of Peach from Japan. This is one of the very few toys of Princess Peach that use combable doll hair instead of constructing her hair shape out of a solid material.

1967 Prototype of “Francie Grows,” a doll that goes from young girl to “blossoming” teenager. Her hair style is really something as well, and highly reminiscent of the first Talking Barbie doll. Important to note that this particular Francie does not feature her traditional head mold but instead utilizes the “Casey” (Francie’s best friend) head mold, which premiered this year as well.

As such, “Francie Gows”  marks Mattel’s first attempt in transitioning/phasing Francie into the Casey head mold. They would ultimately solidify this transition with the release of “Malibu Francie” in 1971, which officially borrows Casey’s face.

While “Francie Grows” never made it past this prototype stage, the concept was recycled seven years later in 1974 through the release of “Growing Up Skipper.”

The controversial “Growing Up Skipper” follows the same gimmick as “Francie Grows.” The child consumer enables the doll to “grow” by turning a specific part of the dolls body. In Skipper’s case, it’s her left arm that enables her to “grow” a few inches and even sprout breasts (as seen in this picture below):
