This is one of my favorite figurines; I bought it two years ago at Walt Disney World. It has a small bell clapper underneath.

This maquette was based on a maquette sculpted by Ruben Procopio for the animators who worked on the movie. This maquette was sold in Disney Stores in 1990. I bought this one that year at a Disney Store in Atlanta, Ga.

I purchased this piece by phone order from a Disney Store in Tennessee in 1992. It's made of imported Bavarian crystal.

This is the first of an eight-plate series of "Little Mermaid" plates by The Bradford Exchange. The colors are by Beth Ann McCoy-Gee, who was a color key specialist for the movie.

This is another purchase from Walt Disney World. It has felt lining under the base to protect against scuffing.

This sale-and-pepper shaker set is yet another Walt Disney World purchase. Ariel, the salt shaker, separates from the rock base, which holds the pepper.

This sandstone sculpture was made in Canada and sold in Disney Stores in 1992.

Elizabeth Reynolds brought this theater poster to me after she went to Japan on a business trip.

I bought this animation production cel from the movie in 1992.

I bought this animation cel from the TV series episode "Island of the Dinosaurs" in 1996.

I bought this production cel from the TV episode "Charmed" in 1994 .
