The two minute storm took 10 special effects artists over a year to finish.
When King Triton enters the concert hall and passes over the audience, you can see Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck sitting among the audience.
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.
This movie was the last Disney movie to use cell animation and Xerox to create the characters, scenery etc.
When Flounder spills the beans about the shark and going to the surface, when he starts talking about the shark for about two or three frames he resembles a shark and then when he starts talking about Scuttle his face resembles Scuttle for about two or three frames.
Glut the shark was going to appear a second time in the film and Flounder was going to have his time to shine and was going to beat him in a fight of some kind but was cut due to various reasons.
King Triton and Ursula are actually brother and sister, this is stated on one of the behind the scenes features of the 2 disc platinum edition.
In the scene when Ariel signs the contract for Ursula if you watch the part where it pans over the contract really fast, in slow motion you can see a hidden Mickey drawn on it.
