Have you seen the new Disney live-action remake of The Little Mermaid? I haven't yet but it has recently opened at the cinemas and I am keen to see it, despite the mixed reviews. 

One of my friends saw it during the week and she was unsure about whether she enjoyed it or not- I think she was comparing it too much to the original Disney film. She liked some aspects of it, but disliked others. I guess it's a personal preference thing but I'd still like to form my own opinion on it. 

Anyway, I decided to put up this image from the original Disney film, featuring Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian. This is one of Ravensburger's Brilliant Series puzzles, where you also get a little packet of diamontes in the box to decorate the finished puzzle. I obviously didn't go that far- they are still in the packet they came in- but I made sure to complete the actual puzzle. 

At 500 pieces, this was a nice and relatively quick one to do, that satisfied my nostalgia/Disney craving at the time. The quality was as expected, but the colours seemed brighter in real life than what they appear in my photo. 

I'll let you know if I get around to seeing the new film, and what I think about it...

Disney has recently released news of their latest 'live action' casting for The Little Mermaid and it's looking to be a corker! I know there have been a few people wishing that the films would be left alone, but this one (well the cast, anyway) looks as though it is going to be absolutely wonderful. 

That's why I decided to put this puzzle up today- The Little Mermaid is harder to come by than some of the other Disney characters. This was one of the Thomas Kinkade 4-in-1 Disney puzzles that I completed a little while back. It came in the S3 box with Winnie the Pooh, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

Can't go past a Disney puzzle!

Yesterday was International Women's Day- a day to celebrate female empowerment. 

Now, I'm not usually a huge fan of these kinds of days. I don't really think it's necessary to have a day solely dedicated to women and their achievements. Some may say that it's needed, and I respect that, but I think that every day should be celebrated, by everyone. Regardless, I have decided to post this picture of a puzzle I completed featuring some of the Disney princesses. Serious feminists may say that these women are subjegated, by their circumstances/ other characters, etc but I still think they are important characters for young girls to grow up with. Plus, I didn't currently have any other 'women' puzzles to put up!

The pieces in this puzzle were of a larger size but the colours were vibrant and it was relatively quick to complete. With a pretty design, this collection of a few of the Disney princesses will go down a treat with any young princess fan.
