While I would love to see a full depiction of the Under Sea realm, I have my doubts. Mainly because of the cost for such a setting. We've seen things like Medusa (very cheesy and not very well done, imo), most of Arendelle was Green Screen and CGI. Granted, Pabbie had much better animation.

But with thier Normal CGI stuff (most of the EF sets are CGI), plus the need for Ursula's tentacles, and quite likely Maleficent's dragon, they are going to really be pushing the CGI budget to the limit. A complete undersea world, with sets, and adding the appearance of swimming and talking, is asking a lot for a TV show. Sure, it can be done, but is the expense of doing it (and doing it well) worth the end result. As fans, we would say most definitly, but the ABC execs may have a slightly different take on the matter. And if they can't do it correctly, I would rather they not do it at all, rather than do a less than optimal job.
