Smile of The Day: Under The Sea with Ariel

The Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid ride opening in The New Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World has a very realistic looking Ariel. According to Disney, imagineers working on the attraction consulted with Ariel’s animator in the film, Glen Keane, who recommended that her hair be treated as a character all its own.
