Originally Posted By basil fan I watched that preview. It seemed like a silly idea for the plot, but the animation was quite good. I didn't like the design of the swordfish, but that mermaid villain (Marina?) was very interesting--looks like they used some of the discarded ideas from Ursula's pre-production days. That didn't sound like Kenneth Mars as Triton. All in all, it could be good.

And that's when I bailed. Not one more second of my life will be wasted on this thing.
