Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion
I found one of the best, if not the very best, cover for this movie I have ever seen. It's for a French book.

Ooo. That's an interesting composition. It's not often that we see "Kiss the Girl" featured on the front cover of anything Ariel. Though I feel like Eric ought to have more presence on the page than Ariel's sisters.

Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion
Oh, I do like that. My only thing is I wish Ursula was in a slightly different pose (it looks sort of like they took a shot of her falling out of the conch shell she rests in and copied it), but otherwise really pretty.

Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"

Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion
Hm...yes, we do not often see Kiss the Girl in a cover or poster, and Eric is more important than the sisters so couldn't he be opposite of Triton, maybe? And I get the Ursula conchshell pose, but I do love the pose still. I have no real problems with the cover though and I am at least glad you two big Little Mermaid fans like it!!!

Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion
I like the idea but I don't like the composition.
- Eric's castle should be up. It doesn't have sense to put it in the bottom of the cover.
- Ariel in the rock should be in the middle with the tittle over her.
- Down Ariel they should have added the kiss the girl scene. It's a good idea to include it but I think that it doesn't apart much to the cover but this way they could have used the colors of the water to draw the ocean in the bottom part of the cover. This way the cover would look more harmonious and it would have more sense.
- In the bottom of the cover all the merpeople and creatures. Ursula in the middle, Triton under her and the sisters in both sides just like in the final version. Flounder should have a smaller size.

Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion
I like a lot of your ideas, Thumper! I think I would just keep Triton and the sisters on the sides of Ursula the same even if you move all the sea people to the bottom. I love the composition as is, but I also love your composition!
