The Little Mermaid make-up designer Peter Smith King has clapped back at criticisms of the revamped Ursula look that actress Melissa McCarthy brings to life in the new live-action remake. He specifically contends against a belief that a queer artiste should have landed the job. Rob Minkoff, the character animator of the original 1989 film, pulled reference from the late drag performer Divine for Ursula, reports Variety. When speaking with Time, Minkoff said: "Divine seemed like such a great, larger-than-life character, and it just seemed like a funny and quirky idea to take (Ursula) and treat her more like a drag queen."슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Little Mermaid: Melissa McCarthy Thinks Ursula Is the Kind of Girl She Wants to 슬롯사이트˜Have a Drink With슬롯사이트�.

When working on the look for the character, King said he had a close partnership with McCarthy. "We discussed everything. I mean, we both laughed about how much we love drag queens and drag makeup and stuff," said King. King also revealed that his Ursula wasn't based on Divine like Minkoff's: "It wasn't based on any drag acts at all."
