Plot summary
Directed by: John Musker, Ron Clements
Starring: Rene Auberjonois, Buddy Hackett, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Kenneth Mars, Samuel E. Wright, Pat Carroll, Jodi Benson, Jason Marin
In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch, for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder.
Sebastian: Somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.
Trivia: The two minute storm took 10 special effects artists over a year to finish.
Question: I once heard that there's a shell somewhere in the movie that has a profanity written on it. Is this true?
