Great article, but it sure left me wanting more.  Like what's the deal with the bra straps?  And how did that first pitch meeting more than 20 years ago go?

Great article, Floyd, but like LtPowers, I'd like to hear more too. It must have been wonderful to be there at the little fishgirl's birth.

This is off-topic, but...I still think the new 2D princess film should have kept its original title - "The Frog Princess". It's more intriguing, it has an interesting twist on the fairy-tale tile "The Frog Prince", and frankly sounds less juvenile. But that's a mere quibble. I'm really looking forward to it - even though that Cajun firefly is kind of creepy . ;)

I think the original title might have caused confusion.  When I first heard it, I thought it was a gender-reversed version of The Frog Prince.

Mark Henn and Ron Clements both commented on the 'bra straps' story.

Seems they were originally planning to have simply the seashells, but Micheal Eisner asked, "how do they stay on?" At that point Mark Henn pantomimed a shell in each palm, licked them and stuck them on himself like postage stamps. Eisner wasn't buying it. He said it would be too distracting for the audience, they'd be concentrating on how the seashells stayed put. So they had to add the strap.
