Daring to Dream

9 July 2025 : Thanks to a submission, I'm finally able to update the Gallery with scans of all the rest of the "Ariel's World" magazine issues, i.e. issues #32 to #40, issues #41 to #60, and issues #61 to #80. Many thanks to Molly for the massive assist! For the Live-Action Movie page, I've added scans from the soundtrack CD booklet, which feature various promotional images and movie stills. For the Expanded Universe Novels page I've added scans from The Art of Coloring: A Twisted Tale, which is a tie-in with the "Twisted Tales" novel series and has colouring images inspired by the series' novel "Part of Your World", which features older Ariel, Eric and Ursula. In the Other Mermaids section I've made pages for Wednesday, Kambal Sirena, Mutya and Raya Sirena.

22 November 2024 : A new cover album was released recently, "A Whole New Sound", which contains rock/punk versions of various classic songs, so I've made a section for their take on Part of Your World that was covered by the band New Found Glory. I've also made pages for Impossible Child, a deleted song from the live-action movie, and the other Descendants: The Rise of Red songs that feature Uliana, namely: Life is Sweeter and Perfect Revenge. To the gallery I've added scans from one new comic, A Magic Trick. I've updated the Disney Junior Ariel page with info on a few more episodes (though there's way more now), plus one of the tie-in books. On the page for the live-action adaptation I added scans from a Japanese souvenir book of the film, which has some photos and concept art. For the section of Other Mermaids, I've added info on one more Fantasy Island episode, plus made pages for the Pinocchio anime and the various Dyesebel adaptations.

15 July 2024 : I've updated the page for the live-action movie with scans from various tie-in books, specifically: the official novelization, "Make a Splash", "Adventures on Land" and the Little Golden Book. As the franchise expands a bit more, I've made a page for the new preschool TV series Disney Junior Ariel that premiered recently (more brief blurbs for the episodes to come), as well as a lyrics page for its theme song Ariel. In the Gallery, I've added scans from the books "Part of Your World" and "There's a Sea Witch in My Swim Class". The new "Descendants" movie has come out, so I've added a blurb and some screencaps that to the page under the section Descendants: The Rise of Red, plus I made a lyrics page for the new remix of Uma's song What's My Name (Red Version). Over in the Other Mermaids section, I've added the two relevant Barbie Fairytopia movies and the Chinese TV series The Starry Night, the Starry Sea.

1 January 2024 : It's a new year! For the comics page, I've finally gotten around to adding scans for the 1992 two-issue Disney's Sebastian comic, plus I've added sample scans for the refreshed Spotlight movie adaptation comic. In the gallery I've added scans of the Disney Princess comic The Big Race, scans from a Ladybird book of the film, and more colouring scans. A bunch of TLM characters appear in the Disney100 celebration short Once Upon a Studio, which I've added to the Bit Parts page. The Disney100 anniversary also saw another Blu-Ray re-release of the original movie, so I added info for that and other home media releases I previously missed to the movie page. I've managed to read Córdova's book Kiss the Girl and the TLM-related Twisted Tales Anthology short story, so I've expanded the blurbs for both on the Expanded Universe Novels page. In the Music section I've added a page and lyrics for the new Disney Princess anthem Like a Princess, which namechecks Ariel. Last but not least, in the Other Mermaids section, I've made a page for Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.

20 August 2023 : A few days ago they dropped a new animated special of the Lego versions of the Disney Princesses, so I've made a page for that: Lego Disney Princess: The Castle Quest. Also recently out on streaming is the live-action movie, and I've updated that live-action movie page to include details on the specials that come with the digital release and later physical release, some details of the YA prequel novel, and a few more embeds of the promos and behind-the-scenes featurettes. I recently got my hands on the graphic novel "Twisted Tale: Part of Your World" (I do recommend!) so I've added some info on that book to the comics page. In the Gallery I've added scans for Ariel the Adventurous Princess and excerpts from Journey Through History. In the section for Other Versions of TLM I've added a page for The Triplets, and in the section for Other Mermaids I've added Barbie Mermaid Power and Mermaid's Song.

27 May 2023 : The live-action The Little Mermaid movie is out! I've updated the page about the live-action movie to add character posters, a list of songs in the movie, info about some of tie-in books, and more embeds of the teasers and featurettes. Related to that, I've added info about the two soundtrack albums to the music page, and added the lyrics for all the songs in the live-action movie, i.e. Part Of Your World, Fathoms Below, Part Of Your World (reprise), Under The Sea, Wild Uncharted Waters, Poor Unfortunate Souls, For the First Time, Kiss the Girl, The Scuttlebutt, and Part Of Your World (reprise II). Elsewhere, I've added scans of the short story "Eric Dives In" to the gallery and made a page for The Love Boat in the Other Mermaids section.
