Did you know?

  • In the opening scene when King Triton arrives at the arena, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Kermit the Frog can be briefly seen in the crowd of sea-people as mermen when he passes over them.
  • Ariel was quite deliberately made a redhead in order to distinguish her from Daryl Hannah’s character in Splash (1983).
  • Jodi Benson (Ariel) sang “Part of Your World” in the dark to get that “under the sea” feeling.
