The Little Mermaid Candy Bark

Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, and the gang are swimming home on Blu-ray February 26th! The Little Mermaid was my Disney Princess movie. I loved Belle and Jasmine when they came along too, but there was always something special about Ariel. Maybe it's her willingness to take charge or her life, for better or worse, her killer songs, or her need to collect all the things. My Funko shelf is beginning to look like her Grotto! Or, it could be that she has amazing red hair and Prince Eric (until Flynn Rider) was the most handsome of the Disney Princes.

The kids and I snuggled up and pretended we were out of the cold and part of Ariel's world. It wouldn't be a movie night without a little treat. Read on to learn how to make your own The Little Mermaid Candy Bark, download a free activity packet, and see all the treasures that await you when you bring home The Little Mermaid on Blu-ray!

Alan Menken & the Leading Ladies Song

From the voice of a mermaid to the tunes of a muse, the music of Alan Mencken has scored the soundtrack for some of Disney’s most iconic leading ladies. Join Alan, Jodi Benson (Ariel), Paige O’Hara (Belle), Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas Singing Voice), Lillias White (Calliope), and Donna Murphy (Mother Gothel) as we celebrate the music of their films in honor of the one that started it all- “The Little Mermaid.”

In this discussion, the ladies will share their memories of musically creating their characters with Alan, discuss what it means to be part of the Disney Princess/leading lady legacy and create new memories as they sing with Alan around a baby grand piano.

Chances are if you are ready to sing about your heart’s true desires or your side kick is trying to lift your spirits, Alan Menken wrote it. His songs are so iconic I can spot them or hear them a mile away. He reprised his Disney Princess songs skills with Slaughter Race in Ralph Breaks The Internet.
