Happy Meal Toys...   A checklist from the McDonald's site can be viewed here. Also, here's a pic of all 100 figurines and here's the story. Good luck finding Ariel, flounder and Sebastian!! I heard on the Arielholics List that Ariel is in "Box C". Not sure what that means though.

LittleAriel.com is now 6 months old (young) as of 4 February 2002!! 
Traffic to the site has increased quite a bit lately, especially in the last two months. In the first two weeks of February alone LittleAriel.com has generated over 1000 unique visitors per week, and is now averaging nearly 250 per day... that's a lot of Ariel fans for sure! Also it's very gratifying to see traffic jump like that since many long hours have been spent here doing updates and improvements, but since it's such a labor of love it was well worth it.
So I'd just like to thank all of you who've enjoyed these pages and especially those loyal followers for coming around, and please do come around again.. and again...and..

Okay, so this news is a little old, but...  in April last year (2001) Disney recalled 54,000 Ariel Dresses from the Disney stores. You can read all about it!

Now if you think that's old,  how about this: Roger Ebert rates The Little Mermaid!! That's from Novemeber 17, 1989. This news page has been kinda quiet lately so just thought I'd liven it up a bit

The Little Mermaid is #2!!  According to Disney, the 1989 version of The Little Mermaid is the 2nd most popular Disney movie of all time!!! (beaten only by Snow White) Click to check it out BTW, thanks Chris for finding that!

Photos from this year's Arielcon are now available online at Terry Richard's Little Mermaid site. You can go directly to the Arielcon 2002 Page here.
