After Ariel is changed into a human, she swims frantically to the surface for air, and when she comes up she does the magnificent throwing her head back and splashing water everywhere - we've all seen it. But this would mean she would have to actually tilt her head further down in the water before breaking the surface, so she could then throw it back- something that makes no sense for a person who's about to drown, and wants air as soon as possible. Can't have been a "hair in face" problem - her hair was streaming out behind her underwater, so wouldn't have been in the way if she'd broken the surface face first. See more...
The studio first considered making The Little Mermaid in the late 1930s, and illustrator Kay Nielsen prepared story sketches in pastels and watercolors. Her work was studied by the film's modern-day animators, and Nielsen received a "visual development" credit on the film. See more...

When Ursula is posing as a human, does her 'unsinging' voice change to Ariel's as well, or just when she is singing? [Well from what I remember Jodi Benson, who is the vioce of Ariel, disguised her voice for Venessa so in a way she has the same speaking voice as Ariel but a little bit of Ursula's real voice seems to come through.]

I once heard that there's a shell somewhere in the movie that has a profanity written on it. Is this true? [Yet another Disney urban legend.]

What are the CG parts in the film? [They are all throughout the film but the biggest one is when Eric is steering the ship to stab or skewer Ursula.]
Answered by Disney-Freak
What are the names of Ariel's sisters? It's very hard to hear it during their song. [Their names are Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, and Allana.]
