The Little Mermaid - Soon

PLEASE READ HERE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS:
There is no colored version and I am not planning on finishing or coloring this in the future. It's a very old movie of mine and I moved on to create other movies. So what you see is what you get, sorry.

This is my final animation I was supposed to make for the end of my second year of Animation studies in Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
I was supposed to use a known character, so I chose my favorite disney character - Ariel, the little mermaid. I took the song from the movie Thumbelina (which is not a Disney movie) that was sung by Jodi Benson (who is the voice actress for Ariel) and created the storyboard. The movie is half rough animation and half storyboard because this is what we were supposed to do. I did the entire storyboard, animation, and editing by myself. Disney has all rights for the character.

Of course feel free to write to me any comment/question you have and I'd gladly reply to you.

Wow, this is amazing! I love it! I have a question though... I am also studying animation and am doing a similar assignment. I was just wondering if you got the rights to use a copyrighted song and how you went about doing this? Because my lecturer says that I need to get the rights for the song I want to use before I can use it, but I'm just not sure how to do this. Thank you for your help!

@Nirali208 Sorry, no, i don't have the rights for this song (that's what youtube is for...). For some of my movies I paid a composer to compose a special score for the animation, and that is why I have rights for those scores. You have many online websites who offer free music for use for non profit purposes (artists who are looking for exposure offer their work) and also you can contact the song writer and ask him.

How do I do this? What program do you use? If you can you tell me would be grateful!

@LOpes4646 Hand drawn on paper, scanned and edited in CTP (old software). Please read more in my article, link in movie info (I can't post links here).

[IrishFig]

[lpdisney]

@IrishFig Please read the article i wrote (link on movie info, I can't post links here)

When i watched it the first time, i actually thought that this was a deleted scene from the movie :)

Nice work!

[FreshOrangeBlast]

I like this! U did a great job!

[Erele68]

yeaaaah it's the song of Thumbelina

[thuy13]

I love that you put Thumbelina and Ariel together. Both were voiced by Jodi Benson.

[somedaysdreamers13]

Beautiful work,you really captured the movement and emotion of the character,keep up the good work!

[disneyanimationwebs]

They should have put this in the movie!!!! OMG, SOOOOO GOOD!

[xPhantomRed]

WOW. This is AWESOME. And I love how you made the last shot, I've always loved that pose and would have loved to see it fit in the original film somwhere. :D

[SimpleDisneyThings]

This would have been such a touching scene to add to the Little Mermaid film. What I love most is the ending when she goes into that iconic pose. So beautiful. You are gifted.

[DeepPowers]

It's beautifull ! I try to do some animations like this but I have a big problem : I don't arrive to keep the "drawing" to the same place so my animations trumble...(I don't know if you understand me...)

[KatieCakesBabyy]

[CCC8LIN]
