The Little Mermaid live-action remakes take on iconic Disney villain Ursula was inspired by drag queens, according to star Melissa McCarthy. May 26, 2023, 2:08 PM PDT By Elaina Patton More than three decades after Ursula, the buxom sea witch of Atlantica, first slithered her way onto the big screen, the underwater mistress of mayhem. The Little Mermaid features Halle Bailey as the central character. The Little Mermaid star Melissa McCarthy explains how drag queens informed her version of Ursula in the upcoming live-action remake. The film's music composer, Alan Menken, earlier confirmed the animated character was inspired by drag queen Divine.

"To keep the humour and the sadness and the edginess to Ursula is everything I want in character - and frankly, everything I want in a drag queen," she added. "There's a drag queen that lives in me, and I'm always right on the verge of going full-time with her." She elaborated that she wanted to use the characteristics of Drag queens that she finds interesting in her portrayal of Ursula. Ursula, the treacherous sea witch who steals Ariel's voice in the 1989 animated classic The Little Mermaid and the new live-action reboot, is not a drag queen. Melissa McCarthy says performing as Drag Queen named Miss Y in New York City in her early career influenced her to play Ursula. The role’s origins from the 1989 film were based on the legendary drag queen, Divine. The Little Mermaids Ursula was actually inspired by an iconic drag queen, Divine.
