Carole Holliday was a character designer on the series. We rarely get any behind-the-scenes for the shows based on the animated classics, so I thought this was a nice treat.

She became a Character Designer on The Little Mermaid animated series. “When those were over, they were like, well, you can do character design,” she explained about the job creating bumpers coming to an end. Director and Producer Jamie Mitchell originally hired her for a different role on The Little Mermaid animated series. “He just brought me as a revisionist, but the person that they had was too busy so he was like can you do some designs?” The first character she designed for the show was Hans Christien Anderson, but Jamie taught her a new technique when she was tasked with creating a mean manta ray. Her designs were too light, he taught her how to put more passion into her drawings.
