Ok, storytime!

So y'know Triton's Gardens at D*sneyland? It's an area in Fantasyland, where Ariel sits at her shell and has been greeting guests since 1996. Lovely place, ain't it?

Well it's gone. Gutted. RIPPED OUT.

This is how it currently looks. So why the reconstruction? Well Triton's Gardens is being transformed into Pixie Hollow, to make room for Tinkerbell and her fairy friends, all to promote the new Tinkerbell Movie coming out next month. The D*sney Fairies are their new cash cow, and these characters are expected to rake in at least $4 billion to the D*sney Company in the next year alone. I guess the bottom line is the Fairies are the new Princesses.

So what happened to Ariel? Well they stripped her of her fin, gave her some legs and a dress and stuck her in Princess Fantasy Faire, much to her dismay. Farewell to the mermaid. Now most of us will only be able to look at her from a distance in the parades.

The sad thing is that yes I am sad to see fish-Ariel go, but even worse, I think I may actually like this new fairy franchise. *ashamed*

I love how you did the proportions on Ariel. She doesn't look like a Barbie doll, and that's a good thing. :)

Jayne! Your mouth is talkin'. You might wanna get that looked at.

Aww! ): That's really depressing. I wish I could love Disney without knowing I'm encouraging such wanton selling-out.

Great job with the expressions, though. Ariel's is heartbreaking. :/

So I'm living in La-La Land, but at least I'm not living at home.

OH NO!!! I love mermaid Ariel, she's my absolute favorite! That is such a shame. Why can't Disney leave some good things alone??

Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child... eventually.

There are no atheists in foxholes because we're too busy not believing in your God to fight his wars for you.
