Description
Ariel is loosely based on the nameless protagonist of the Danish fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen , but unlike the Andersen tale in which the mermaid loses her prince and dies, the Disney adaptation features a happy ending.Ariel is the fourth official member of the Disney Princess line-up. She is also the first princess to be developed after Walt Disney 's lifetime, having been conceived over two decades after his death in 1966 . Incidentally, Disney himself made efforts to adapt The Little Mermaid in the late 1930s, and early 40s. She is the first princess developed during the Disney Renaissance .
