Did You Know This About Disney's “The Little Mermaid”? #shorts  

Ursula the Sea Witch, the evil villain in the 1989 Disney animated movie The Little Mermaid, tricks Ariel, the mermaid princess, into trading her voice for a pair of human legs. The highly acclaimed character was inspired by this outlandish American actor and drag queen, Divine
Disney animators took several stabs at creating the villain for the movie The Little Mermaid. One was inspired by Joan Collins and another portrayed a “beautiful but deadly” witch, but neither version was chosen. Finally, artist Rob Minkoff created a character who borrowed the eye makeup and body shape of Divine, the stage name of Harris Glenn Milstead, the character actor, singer, and outrageous drag queen who is perhaps best-known for his roles in multiple movies by cult filmmaker John Waters.
