Today’s alpha-prompt is ‘M’. Inspired by this Pinterest image, I created my illustration of Prince Eric’s moppy top canine, Max.
The Little Mermaid is full of humorous lines geared for an older audience. I’m sure our young daughters didn’t quite get just how funny this film was until years later but to give you an example. After Ariel sees Prince Eric up close from the ships’ deck, she tells Scuttle how handsome he is but being the birdbrain that he is gets confused thinking she’s talking about Max. This is what Scuttle says this to Ariel.
“I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me.”
Max bears a strong likeness to a sheepdog who makes a number of cameos in the Thunderbolt audition and 101 Dalmatian Twilight scene.
