Disney Animators' Collection Ariel Doll, 16-Inch Toy for Little Mermaid Fans

The Disney Animators' Collection dolls are uniquely ours, sketched by celebrated Disney animators, and make spectacular besties. Celebrating the heritage of classic Disney animation, the series of young heroine dolls was created under the guidance of the Walt Disney Animation Studio's most renowned talents, bringing the characters to life in the most creative and authentic way possible.

Inspired by Glen Keane's character design of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, this young interpretation recaptures the free-spirited nature of the original undersea princess. Ariel, the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, is enchanted with all things human. Disregarding her father's order to stay away from the world above the sea, she strikes a bargain with a devious sea witch to trade her beautiful voice for legs. But can she also win a prince's heart?

For almost four decades at Walt Disney Animation, Glen Keane became renowned for bringing to life some of the studio's most beloved and endearing characters. Learning his craft from the legendary animators who created classics like Cinderella, Keane has been the lead animator for such iconic characters as Aladdin, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and many others. He also brought to life some of Disney's most beloved Princesses, including Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel from Tangled, for which he served as animation supervisor and character animator.

This newly costumed edition of the Ariel doll is more effervescent than ever, featuring a satin seashell top, a sparkling satin mermaid tail with print scales, and shimmering tailfins. The doll also comes with a plush friend, Flounder, and is presented in a collector's display box featuring authentic character sketches.

The Disney Animators' Collection dolls are posable, with arms, legs, and a movable head, and have realistic, rooted hair set in waves. These dolls make spectacular besties, celebrating the heritage of classic Disney animation and bringing the characters to life in the most creative and authentic way possible.
