Ursula singing. Ursula is the main antagonist of Disney's 1. The Little Mermaid. She is a villainous cecaelian sea witch who "helps" unfortunate merfolk to achieve her own goals.

She ultimately seeks to dethrone her longstanding rival, King Triton, so that she may rule the undersea city of Atlantica, and all the ocean. Ursula's fervent confidence, flamboyance and theatrics have made her one of the most popular and iconic of all the Disney villains, and she quickly became one of the franchise's primary members following her debut. Background. Development.

Ursula. Ursula is based on the "sea witch" character in Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Little Mermaid". In the original story, the sea witch is a neutral enabler, but for Disney's animated adaptation, the character was modified into a full- fledged antagonist and plays a larger role in the overall story. During pre- production, Ursula was not originally designed as a Cecaelia; a legendary hybrid of human and octopus. It was thought that she would be another species of sea creatures, such as a rockfish or lion fish, or would have a snake- like appearance, as revealed in The Disney Sketchbook. The production team then saw a documentary about octopi and decided that their multiple arms and imposing appearance would be perfect for the character they were creating.

Ursula is only drawn with six tentacles, due to the studio's budget and difficulty in coordinating eight tentacles (though she has eight limbs if you include her arms). Pat Carroll has stated that this makes her a squid, though biologically she still resembles an octopus far more than any other sea- creature. Moreover, a squid has ten tentacles, not six. Her basic look was based on the Drag performer Divine, but Divine died before they could get his voice. The character has been compared to Madame Medusa from The Rescuers in terms of style, dramatics, and choice of minions. Pat Carroll, Ursula's voice actress, envisioned the character as "part Shakespearean actress, with all the flair, flamboyance and theatricality, and part used- car salesman with a touch of con artist." Carroll, who is a contralto, deliberately deepened her voice for the role. Vanessa. During development, Vanessa's, Ursula's human alter ego, story arc went through radical changes as revealed by a leaked script online.

Originally, Vanessa's method of hypnotizing Eric was different; instead of suppressing his free will and eliminating his capability to display emotion, she let him have a broader range of emotion and gave him some free will. The point of this sort of hypnosis was to influence Eric in Vanessa's direction and accept her over Ariel on his own, emphasizing deception over the brute force from the final film. After Vanessa hypnotizes Eric, he introduces Ariel to her on the morning of the third day, announcing that they will be married by sunset. This is vastly different from the final film where Ariel eavesdrops on their announcement before running away, never getting a good idea at who Vanessa is until Scuttle tells her.

To better conceal herself due to her being so close to Ariel, Vanessa wears a scarf in the original script as a way to hide her nautilus necklace and not arouse suspicion from Ariel. And when Ariel runs away, Eric is about to run after her, but Vanessa pulls him back and gives him a kiss on the cheek; using Eric's fake love for her as a way to intimidate him. The scene inside the cabin is exactly the same as the film, but the wedding itself has noticeable differences. In the original, Vanessa was actually eager to marry Eric and was impatient about the wedding being done before sunset suggesting some ulterior motive aside from just taking Ariel. In the original script, she also gets to actually say "I do" unlike in the final product.

Vanessa isn't able to kiss Eric, though, as the ceremony is disrupted by an explosion off the side of the ship and Scuttle's small army shows up and begins to attack Vanessa. Vanessa fights back in the original version, much like in the film, but quickly stops when she realizes she is blowing her cover as a sweet innocent girl. She then begs Eric to protect her, which he does. Since Scuttle can't get close to Vanessa, he intends to reveal her true form to Eric by bringing up the mirror from her cabin. See Girl Run Full Movie. He crashes into a pole and the mirror breaks, but Eric is able to see Vanessa for what she is the reflection of the water the sea creatures brought on board the ship.

This breaks the illusion and he rejects her for Ariel. At this point, Vanessa's voice returns to sounding like Ursula's, presumably because the spell has been broken, and Eric and Ariel are about to embrace. Much like in the final movie, the sun sets before they can kiss, and Vanessa turns back into Ursula, dragging Ariel back with her under the sea. In this ending, Ariel does not get her voice back until the very end, which changes the dynamic of the scene entirely. No explanation was ever offered as to why this half of the ending was changed.

On a separate note, early storyboard concept art revealed that Vanessa and Eric would have originally been married at the castle instead of on a ship, with Ariel lurking above in observance. This change may have been made to add a sense of urgency for Ariel to stop the wedding by having it take place somewhere else. It also may have been done to create a better transition between the wedding scene and the final battle underwater. Vanessa's role in the film is inspired by the original Andersen tale. In that story, after the prince has been rescued by the mermaid, he is found on the beach by a princess whom he believes to have saved him. Later on, after the mermaid becomes human, she discovers that the prince will be marrying the maiden.

In the end, the maiden marries the prince while the mermaid (who chose not to kill the prince despite the urging of her sisters) dies and ascends to a spiritual rebirth. The maiden, like the Sea Witch, was also a neutral character rather than a villain. In the book, the maiden does not speak and is presented as being sprightly and innocent. She is very much in love with the prince, though, snuggling up to him while not being possessive of him, as she did not object to his friendship with the mermaid.

American Psychoanalytic Association Says Its Members Are Free to Weigh in on Donald Trump's Obviously Troubled Mind. This month, the American Psychoanalytic Association told its roughly 3,5.

Freudian president in the White House. According to Scientific American, one of the association’s past presidents, Dr. Prudence Gourguechon, said the rule change was motivated by “belief in the value of psychoanalytic knowledge in explaining human behavior.

We don’t want to prohibit our members from using their knowledge responsibly.”The rule change was in part necessary since President Donald Trump’s “behavior is so different from anything we’ve seen before,” Gourguechon added. Professional restrictions on diagnosing the mental health of public figures, which opponents refer to as a “gag rule,” has long been a matter of contention within the mental health field—but it’s become a particularly tense debate as of late. Watch The Marine 2 Online Hoyts. No wonder, given Trump’s tendency to go to war with his own staff and allies over perceived slights, rambling Twitter threats and that time this week he demanded the Boy Scouts pledge him their loyalty. Within the American Psychiatric Association, the much larger organization that claims a membership of over 3. Goldwater Rule.” (An unscientific and extremely controversial 1. Republican nominee Barry Goldwater was mentally unfit to be president, weighing in with descriptions like “paranoid” and “grossly psychotic.”) While violating the rule can only result in associational sanctions like being kicked out of the APA, not revocation of medical degrees or licenses to practice, it’s still a powerful deterrent. Prominent psychiatrist Dr.

Leonard Glass published an editorial in Psychiatric Times this month resigning from the latter APA, saying the rule had grown more draconian this year with a new interpretation“that comments about a public figure’s affect and behavior constituted an unethical professional opinion.”Glass wrote tighter restrictions on statements by psychiatrists “made a fundamental error conflating a ‘professional opinion’ that one might provide in a clinical setting and be the basis for a treatment plan with the ‘opinion of a professional’ who is making an observation in a non- clinical context, in the public domain.” When he raised the distinction with the APA, he wrote, he came away with the impression the association thought its members “must be muzzled to protect the profession.”The American Psychoanalytic Association may not have the clout of the American Psychiatric Association, but it is respected. It’s not calling for reckless abandon, either: Gourguechon told the Atlantic it would be unethical for a psychiatrist to “guess what’s going on in somebody’s mind,” but that offering general insights like whether particular presidential behaviors were “impulsive” are fine. Trump is almost certainly such a significant outlier that some of his behaviors need to be weighed in on by professional mental health experts. Watch En La Cama Online Freeform here. Just listen to the guy speak for five minutes, and it becomes very hard not to think there’s something deeply wrong going on in there. But there’s also grounds to wonder if relaxing a rule designed to prevent the political weaponization of a medical discipline could have consequences long beyond the current moment.

We do live in an age of Dr. Phils, massive stigmatization of mental health issues and politicians quite eager to call their opponents insane. Trump’s “psychological motivations are too obvious to be interesting, and analyzing them will not halt his headlong power grab,” the Duke University School of Medicine’s Dr. Allen Frances, one of the authors of the criteria on narcissistic personality disorder, wrote in the New York Times in February. The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological.”[Scientific American]Update: This post has been updated to include a quote from Dr.
