When we think of the illustrious red carpet premiere, specific images come to mind. Wherein the cast and crew of an upcoming new series or film put on their absolute best to walk said red carpet and snap some photos, before heading into the theater to celebrate what they worked so hard to create. A celebration that definitely lasts for a while and rarely features kids. Just because that really doesn’t seem to be a place where they should spend a ton of time, so they briefly cameo at a premiere or are nowhere to be found. Which is an idea, that Disney does not subscribe to, and understandably so.
​
For they work with children and teenagers often and know that they too, should experience the majesty of walking that carpet and feeling like the star, they are, and that is precisely why they host such events and allow for the cast members of their show to revel in the majesty of the work they put together and recently, Disney and Disney Jr. hosted one such event. For the red carpet premiere of Disney Jr.’s Ariel, aptly called ‘Disney Jr. Seaside Celebration’, took place on June 28, 2024 alongside members of local New York community organizations at The Battery Conservancy in New York City. The series premiered June 27, 2024 on Disney Jr., with eight episodes now available on Disney+.

‘Disney Jr.’s Ariel Seaside Celebration’ included Caribbean-inspired music and dance parties, interactive activities and a special debut appearance by Ariel, who will be featured in the upcoming ‘Disney Jr. Live On Tour: Let’s Play’ national tour kicking off this fall. If anything, this really was quite the lovely way to celebrate the hard work put into this show and to pay everyone’s work the tribute it deserves, here are some photos of the seaside celebration, courtesy of Disney.
