Fun story about The Little Mermaid: It was the first movie I ever saw in theaters in 1989. I was so excited to go to a MOVIE THEATER and the experience is forever engrained in my mind. But because I was very young, I remember being absolutely terrified of the moment when King Triton destroys Ariel's Eric statue, collection of trinkets, etc. For whatever reason, I thought Ariel was killed by her dad, and I hid in my seat for the rest of the film, frozen in fear. Fast forward to the movie being released on videotape. I was older at this point, probably 4 or 5. When I watched it at home, I couldn't believe they changed the movie so that the killing never occurred. I continued to tell people until I was 12 that sometimes if movies are really scary and kids don't like them, they change it before it is released on videotape. I realized much later that my mind misinterpreted that moment because of my young age. 🤣 ANYWAY, I LOOOOVE your collection! Seeing these dolls took me right back to the good old days!
My grandma and my aunt took me to watch The Little Mermaid when it was first released. It is the first movie I remember seeing in a movie theater. So began my obsession with Ariel and mermaids. ❤️
Totally understandable! 😂 I saw it back then around the same ages, also. I regret giving away my little mermaid poster. My daughter is actually named Ariel but not necessarily after her!!
So amazing. I was born in October 1989 and the little mermaid came out in November 1989. Ariel holds a very dear place to my heart because she’s my earliest childhood memory. I love your collection ❤
I'm so impressed by just how many of those dolls are quality. When I think of anything but disney store dolls, I just imagine bad quality and weak designs. So many of these were stunning!! We didn't have much money growing up, so I found a redheaded mermaid doll (that wasn't ariel!) at the charity shop and just pretended lol. I told my mom that I wanted to be a mermaid like Ariel and she was like "it's dark in the ocean--you wouldn't be able to see." 😂 EDIT: I did some digging and found out the doll was MGA’s swimming little mermaid doll. I didn’t even know this doll line was a thing!
Fun fact: The song "Part of your world" was almost cut from the official release of the film, because it was thought to be too slow paced to hold young audiences' attention, but test audiences loved it so the powers that be decided to keep the scene in the final film.
OMG that 1997 Aqua Fantasy Ariel is stunning. I know what I'm getting my sister for Christmas this year. TLM is her favorite Disney movie of all time. Yay, you have Calypso Ariel too! I hope you get some of the Arista dolls one day too!
What A Truly Beautiful Collection You Have !!! Being in a 👩🏻🦼 ... Every time Arial sings her theme song, It's as deeply meaningful for me as it truly gets !!! Thanks For Sharing !!! - Cheers 👊🏻 From 🇨🇦
My top 5 favorite Disney movies are: Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Treasure Planet and Sleeping Beauty. What´s amazing about The Little Mermaid is precisely that it came out in 1989. I say this because the movie has a unique obscure/dark atmosphere that was prevalent in children´s films of that decade: The Last Unicorn, The Secret of N.I.M.H. ...
Ariel is one of my absolute favorites too!! I love the Disney Store dolls - I just hate their obsession with cheap, stiffening glitter that gets on everything 😂 I actually love the high pony on her - Arielana Grande, if you will.
Ariel is life to me, she is my queen. My dad (RIP) took me to see T.L.M when it was originally released in ‘89 for my 7th birthday, it was just him and me, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. And now with my Daddy passing the daddy/daughter thing is even more special. But we had a much better relationship than Ariel and King T, my Daddy didn’t get to meet my husband. Love you, your dolls and vids. x
Did you count them yet? I didn't realize there were so many! I have two older ones that weren't in your collection. Your collection is amazing! I love Ariel. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. 🎁
I love and have many Ariel dolls from Disney Store, from 2013 7:13 (with the extra dolls pack with Eric, King Triton, Ursula, and in bonus the stunning Vanessa) , also from 2021 at 2023 8:31 Ariel dolls, those 2 are my favourites because their faces are very stunning!💖💖💖💖
3:22 it's funny how the Arien of the Christmas holidays makes me think more of a pineapple a summer theme she is super beautiful but the filing misses me
This is a great collection!!! Ariel along with Moana are probably my favorite Princesses. The only Ariel doll I had growing up is not in this collection she was made by Mattel, had a purple shell crown, a high pony, and a back trail on her tail. I also had a little mermaid carriage that would light up and was pulled by dolphins. I have not seen a collector yet who had the doll and carriage I had.
I love Ariel! The Little Mermaid was my favorite fairytale as a child. I read it over and over again. I was so excited when Disney did the movie! I just got my first Ariel doll from the Disney store last weekend. She was my mother's day gift to myself 💜
I remember once having an Ariel doll that could sing and had Sebastian's crab in the set, a green dress and a mermaid tail. I also remember that she had beautiful, soft hair. I adored her but I don't remember which year she was.
I'd like to see Jasmine and Pocahontas. I never had a Jasmine growing up, but always loved that Disney princess. My all time favorites are Pocahontas and Mulan. for sure.
I watched this hoping you would have my personal favorite and first Ariel doll and it was the second one you showed! Made my day to see her again! Great video
Usually I do not like Ariel 90s dolls but there are two mattel dolls that I love which are Ariel wedding doll from 1997 and special edition aqua fantasy. They are beautiful 😍
I definitely had the first Ariel doll you showed but i dont remember it much except for the doll otself with the crown and the top and then the weird "foot" fin part of the tail but only vaguely, like super vaguely lol i was only 2 the year it came out tho so that makes sense but i remember still having the doll and the top with the starfish long long into my barbie owning days lol
I ❤️ ur Disney princess collection videos. So excited 4 all ur updates on ur fantastical beauties. When u do Jasmine, can u plz include ur Special Sparkles Jasmine doll as u never included her b4 but u have briefly shown her in ur room tour video. Would ❤️ if u talked about her a lil more. Best wishes, mate ✌️
I remember when I saw The Little Mermaid and how it made me feel especially being of West Indian heritage. I was so infatuated with Ariel. I dressed as her for Halloween. I quickly felt awkward because I am indigenous aka dark skinned and the kids at school told me I chose the wrong costume. Now I know with having West Indian Heritage I fit with her more ways than none. The Triton is Barbados, my family is there too but I am Jamaican. Amazing Collection!
I was at Walmart this afternoon and saw an entire display of Dream Ella Color Change Surprise dolls like those godforsaken Color Reveal Barbies you love so much 😂 Thought of you!
Ariel has been my favorite since I was 3 years old! I was born in 86 and Mattel’s Disney dolls were my youth. I have rebought all the dolls I had and then some 😜. Jasmine is my second favorite :)
I actually had some Ariel dolls that you mentioned in your video. I’m so sad because I don’t have those dolls anymore 😥 you have an amazing little mermaid 🧜♀️ collection!
Ahhh I had the second doll as a kid! She was one of my favorite dolls I had, and I specifically remember playing with her in the bath (with her tail dress thing) and when I pulled the plug and the water started draining her tail part went down the drain (ᗒᗩᗕ) I was so upset and begged my parents to do something but it was gone, I was always too anxious to take toys into the tub again lol
there is a Hasbro rainbow magic Ariel doll in mermaid form, it’s the only one that has a fish-like tail and not just some material over human legs (or worse - a tail that bends like legs). it’s the most accurate mermaid tail i’ve seen on any of the barbie-like mermaid dolls
That's a awesome collection of The Little Mermaid Merchandise. I was born in March 28, 1994 and the song : Part of Your World is an awesome song and I love it better than There You'll Be by Faith Hill, because Part of Your World is more of a relieved song to me and in my household, I turned that song every other day when they're times when I'm gloomy. My favorite Ariel is the Tyco one with the longest flowing thick hair that goes down to her toes. The Simba one is also awesome since they're look more movie accurate and prettier after the MATTEL one's. The Simba one I like the one with also the longer hair and the basic one in her high ponytail Ariana Grande style look. but I think when I take off the elastic band once, her hair would be longer ..... that is why it's a bit disappointed that Ariel has almost like medium length hair, it's just because her hair is just tied up that high ponytail. Awesome collection of Ariel dolls 😍 oh anyway, I can't believe you've already have another Ariel with the longest flowing thick hair I've mention last 2016, and it's been 6 years ago she is called Long Haired Ariel that she comes with a seahorse green hair comb brush with a braided extension tied and seashell clips. She'd come out in the millennium of 2000, her hair color is more of a bright scarlet orange unlike the other one with a crown 👑 the other Ariel doll has more of a deep ruby burgundy wine color.
Finally someone else is agree with me that Simba's Ariel dolls are MORE movie accurate than Mattel ones But i'm curious to see if Mattel in 2023 will be able to do better
1995 Ariel from Mattel. She has a pretty face mold that looks like the movie is proportioned better than the previous models. Loved her but don't have the doll anymore
The Little Mermaid had a spin-off in the 2000s call to return to the Sea Ariel becomes Queen and have a daughter named MelodyAriel appears as an adult in Return to the Sea and gives birth to a daughter named Melody, becoming the first, and currently, only, Disney princess to become a mother. Ariel is protective of her daughter, as Triton was of Ariel in the first film.
These are so pretty i need all of them! Ariel is my favorite of the Official Disney Princesses although Elsa and Anna are my very favorites! (I know usually people my age hate them but im 20 and they’re my favorites lol🤣
7:14 I like how her eyes are looking up and to the side so it looks like she's daydreaming, that's so Ariel!

Poor childhood you! 😂 that is such a terrifying concept to be introduced to at that age, even if it was a misinterpretation.
My grandma and my aunt took me to watch The Little Mermaid when it was first released. It is the first movie I remember seeing in a movie theater. So began my obsession with Ariel and mermaids. ❤️
Well she does turn into seafoam in the original Haans Christian Anderson version
Totally understandable! 😂 I saw it back then around the same ages, also. I regret giving away my little mermaid poster. My daughter is actually named Ariel but not necessarily after her!!
Sorry tldr

I think they sometimes give her a high pony is because in the tv series she’s sometimes seen with a high ponytail

I actually love the high pony on her - Arielana Grande, if you will.
Ariel is my favorite princess ever I love mermaids and she’s just stunning and relatable in some ways/aspects with me
Ariel is life to me, she is my queen.
My dad (RIP) took me to see T.L.M when it was originally released in ‘89 for my 7th birthday, it was just him and me, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. And now with my Daddy passing the daddy/daughter thing is even more special. But we had a much better relationship than Ariel and King T, my Daddy didn’t get to meet my husband.
Love you, your dolls and vids. x
So sorry for your loss
I'm obsessed with the first Disneyland Ariel in the wedding dress!
Ariel is my favorite Disney princess, your collection is beautiful
Ahh!! The original wedding dress was is so stunning.
I love that your favorite Ariel doll was the one I had as a child (and still have even though she’s in storage). Brings back all the good memories.
Did you count them yet? I didn't realize there were so many! I have two older ones that weren't in your collection. Your collection is amazing! I love Ariel. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. 🎁
I feel like this would be me with Belle if I had the dedication to collecting you have. Love this 🥰
9:50 OMG THAT DOLL IS SO PRETTY
Been here since your first Ariel collection video and it's amazing how it has grown up over the years!
I love and have many Ariel dolls from Disney Store, from 2013 7:13 (with the extra dolls pack with Eric, King Triton, Ursula, and in bonus the stunning Vanessa) , also from 2021 at 2023 8:31 Ariel dolls, those 2 are my favourites because their faces are very stunning!💖💖💖💖
I have the pearl princess Ariel doll from 97 and she's currently the favorite in my collection
The 1997 and the Disney Store are so pretty!🤩
I still have some of these dolls. My first ariel doll that I still have, is the singing Tyco ariel doll.
Oh wow! Had no idea the white and purple top I got in a bag of thrifted clothes was to an Ariel wedding dress! Thank you! Looks cute on a Courtney.
Look at these dolls,
Aren't they so neat?
Wouldn't you think his collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think he's the guy, the guy who has everything?
Ariel is my second favorite Disney princess after Jasmine. I still think the 1997 Mattel dolls are some the best ever made. ❤️
Ничего себе😳 Я даже и подозревала, что выпусков Ариэль было так много, и таких разнообразных❤️
Impressive collection! My very first Ariel doll came with a little purple treasure chest. I still miss it.
3:22 it's funny how the Arien of the Christmas holidays makes me think more of a pineapple a summer theme she is super beautiful but the filing misses me
This is a great collection!!! Ariel along with Moana are probably my favorite Princesses.

The 30th anniversary doll is soooo perfect
I think the high ponytail is so that they can get away with fewer rooting holes/less hair
OMG airline is so pretty.I love her.
I had the second Ariel doll you showed and the the swimming Ariel one as well!
11:37 counter you own is hers
I'd like to see Jasmine and Pocahontas. I never had a Jasmine growing up, but always loved that Disney princess. My all time favorites are Pocahontas and Mulan. for sure.
She's always been my inspo...thats why I have long red hair
Wow what a collection of ariel. Thank you. Such a treat.
I watched this hoping you would have my personal favorite and first Ariel doll and it was the second one you showed! Made my day to see her again! Great video
Wow so many dolls! The Ariel holiday doll from a few years back is beautiful, I really wish that I had got her 😭 may have to eBay her!
Usually I do not like Ariel 90s dolls but there are two mattel dolls that I love which are Ariel wedding doll from 1997 and special edition aqua fantasy. They are beautiful 😍
The original line of The Little Mermaid Ariel Tyco dolls are the best, hands down.
90s Disney princess dolls are the best 💖
I definitely had the first Ariel doll you showed but i dont remember it much except for the doll otself with the crown and the top and then the weird "foot" fin part of the tail but only vaguely, like super vaguely lol i was only 2 the year it came out tho so that makes sense but i remember still having the doll and the top with the starfish long long into my barbie owning days lol

YESSS the best Disney princess! She’ll always be my favorite 💕
I actually had some Ariel dolls that you mentioned in your video. I’m so sad because I don’t have those dolls anymore 😥 you have an amazing little mermaid 🧜♀️ collection!
17:52 that doll looks more like Athena, Ariel’s mother, than it does Ariel herself
My best friends had the second doll! I always loved that doll! And I had the tropical splash Ariel! 😍
Whenever I see a doll with discoloration I mediately think either a bad tan job or jondis
Ariel is deffo my fav disney doll to collect
I suggest getting the shimmering lights ariel doll for your collection 😊 Great collection btw

So cool, the little mermaid is my favorite movie 😊🧜🏻♀️
I loved the Ariel's with the really oong hair.
I can't wait for them to make a Ariel doll base off of Halle Bailey for the live action remake.
BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I think the first Ariel doll you got was the same first doll I got lol. I was obsessed with the little mermaid too.
I just realised, if the face is not accurate to the movie Ariel, it looks like the Wendy's logo 😂

I think Ariel is the best movie from the 80s
I missed this series!!!
Omg I'm a big fan of beauty in the box and I love Ariel❤
I had the 1997 (mermaid) Ariel doll and the tropical splash one
I feel like the Simba dolls still have the best hair color.
they also had the best bra and tail
Please make a 2023 update with the Halle Bailey live action dolls.
Ariel is the first movie I’ve seen in cinema !
Finally!! I have been asking you to show your updated collection!!
I would love to see this with Aurora
These are so pretty i need all of them! Ariel is my favorite of the Official Disney Princesses although Elsa and Anna are my very favorites! (I know usually people my age hate them but im 20 and they’re my favorites lol🤣
