In The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (direct to video, so you may have missed it 😂), Ariel unfortunately becomes a boring house queen who hides her true, spectacular mer-identity from her adolescent daughter. (Plus, the animators decided mid-30s/40yo Ariel had not aged a day. I suppose she did avoid excessive sun exposure while living under the sea for the first 16 years ;)
This was a great start to my morning :)

Lovely read, Ryan! Thank you for sharing. I can definitely relate and wish that I was local so that I could join for the event!
