Lynne Southerland during Disney Junior's Ariel interview
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney Junior's Ariel premieres on the network on June 27 and will be available to stream the following day on Disney+. The animated series centers around an eight-year-old version of the mermaid and introduces new characters, Lucia and Fernie, while still including old favorites such as King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian, and Flounder.
Lynne Southerland chats with Screen Rant about whether Disney Junior's Ariel connects to The Little Mermaid's original story and gives insight into the show's major Ursula change. Can you talk about creating this version of Ariel? Were you trying to capture a younger version of the original mermaid, or is this a completely new character?
Ariel's Major Ursula Change Is Due To The Show's Target Audience One thing that really stood out to me is Ursula because she's known as an iconic "big bad" in Disney, but she is a friend to Ariel in this series. Can you speak about the inspiration behind that?
