Disney Animators' Collection

Uniquely ours and sketched by celebrated Disney animators, these dolls make spectacular besties.

Celebrating the heritage of classic Disney animation, our series of young heroine dolls was created under the guidance of the Walt Disney Animation Studio's most renowned talents, bringing the characters to life in the most creative and authentic way possible.

Comes in collector's display box featuring authentic character sketches.

Inspired by Glen Keane's character design of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, this young interpretation recaptures the free-spirited nature of the original undersea princess. This newly costumed edition is more effervescent than ever.

For almost four decades at Walt Disney Animation, Glen Keane became renowned for bringing to life some of the studio's most beloved and endearing characters. Learning his craft from the legendary animators who created classics like Cinderella, Keane has been the lead animator for such iconic characters as Aladdin, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and many others. He also brought to life some of Disney's most beloved Princesses, including Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel from Tangled, for which he served as animation supervisor and character animator.

Ariel, the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, is enchanted with all things human. Disregarding her father's order to stay away from the world above the sea, she strikes a bargain with a devious sea witch to trade her beautiful voice for legs. But can she also win a prince's heart?
