If anyone knows anything about me, I am a die-hard fan of Disney and Disney theme parks. So once in a while, I would feature some cool news regarding a new movie or ride in development. This is the case with “The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” ride at Disney California Adventures park. Disney has been doing everything they can to bring more business to California Adventures such as “Disney World of Color” and “ElecTRONica”. It has been well known that California Adventures has been a huge mess since it’s opening and has not been a fan favorite for Disney theme park enthusiasts. So now, the part is in construction to bring more visitors such as a new Pixar themed land and also the Little Mermaid ride. There isn’t that much news regarding what the ride is going to be like, but I can presume that its going to be like the Little Nemo submarine ride which takes place underwater. Now, the Disney Blog gives us a glimpse at Walt Disney Imagineers working on animatronics for Ariel and the challenges they faced with her hair.
“The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” opens on June 3rd, the same day as the new “Star Tours”. Hit the jump and check out a small video sneak peek of the Disney Imagineers at work.

I find this to be one of the most amazing Disney Princess fan art ever. While we are geared to think Disney princesses as the pure and innocent and “the fairest of them all”, Canadian illustrator Chris Hill (known on DeviantArt as chill07) decided to expose the princesses as something evil. Depicting the Disney princesses as a representation of the “7 deadly sins, Chris illustrates each princess beautifully in “art nouveau” style with the sin they each represent. I never thought about the relation between Belle (Beauty and the Beast) as “vanity” or Ariel (The Little Mermaid) as “greed”, but its interesting to think about. Maybe the association of the sins to the princesses is a bit of a stretch, but the end result is seven amazing illustrations that takes your breath away. I wonder if these illustrations are available in prints. I will kill to have them hanging in my house. They are THAT good.

When someone thinks of art, they probably have in mind elaborate, classic pieces fit for multi-million dollar display galleries or maybe abstract modern designs that the brain has difficulty understanding. There is more to art than just this, however, and quite a bit more to visual art.
