Allright, so it's not horror. But it is fantasy, and it is directed by a woman, and I adore The Little Mermaid (for crissakes, it came out when I was 11, what more do you want?). The Prequel to The Little Mermaid, Ariel's Beginning, is on DVD and it's directed by Peggy Holmes. If you ever wanted to see Ursula before she was a witch, Ariel's sisters hair in more details, and more fun stuff with mermaids, this is your chance. Check out the women who made this animated fantasy possible! Watch director Peggy Holmes talk 'Ariel's Beginning' and actress/singer Jodi Benson doing the voice of Ariel (she also did the voice of Tula on the cult animated series Pirates of Dark Water in the 80's).
