Looks Like A Show Aimed At Preschoolers
After hearing about this from a YouTube video, I had to see this. Little Mermaid's Island is a live action/puppet show made by Jim Henson Studios, back when he was in talks with Disney (and would become one of the casualties of the deal's failure when Jim died two months after the pilot episode was filmed).
Only two episodes, the pilot, Sebastian's Birthday, and the other, To Tell The Truth, was filmed for this abandoned series, intending to air on the Disney Channel. is basically made to be aimed at preschoolers, in the vein of similar shows like Dumbo's Circus and Welcome To Pooh Corner. However, instead of using puppets with technology made by the creator of Teddy Ruxpin, the puppets here are of the Muppet caliber since Jim Henson Studios is involved.
As for the cast, we have Buddy Hackett and Samuel E. Wright reprising their roles as Scuttle and Sebastian. Ariel is portrayed by Marietta DePrima, and Clive Revill as Grimsby, who is redone in this show to be friends with Ariel and the others (which is contradictive to the film, where thinks merfolk do not exist and any talk of them is nonsense). New characters that appear in the show is Sandy, who is Flounder's sister, and Scales, a dragon who is a full suit muppet in the style of Big Bird.
This is a good show that displays what could have been, but sadly, as I said, the death of Jim Henson would put a damper in the deal, and instead of this show, we got the animated series that aired on CBS (which served as a prequel to the film until Ariel's Beginning was released).
