One of the most fun aspects of Disney films is the characters' life beyond the movie. When an animated Disney movie comes out, that isn't the end. The fans want more. Sometimes the more comes in video games, often in books, and some movies even get entire animated series. One of those animated series is The Little Mermaid, which picked up from the 1989 film with a three-season, 31-episode cartoon. The cartoon featured the beloved cast of the original movie, including Ariel, Flounder, Prince Eric, and even the villainous Ursula, as the series was a prequel to the film. Fans of the classic underwater villain can now pledge for an original production cel featuring Ursula from the series. You can check out Heritage's photographs of the cel as well as the Certificate of Authenticity below.
