Question: I once heard that there's a shell somewhere in the movie that has a profanity written on it. Is this true?
Chosen answer: They are all throughout the film but the biggest one is when Eric is steering the ship to stab or skewer Ursula.
Disney-FreakQuestion: Why didn't Triton kill or at least try and hurt Ursula with his sceptre instead of trying to destroy the contract? If destroying her is all it takes to nullify the contract, as seen at the end when Eric drives the ship into Ursula, killing her, then why didn't he do that instead of signing his own name saving Ariel and becoming one of Ursula's garden along with all the other merpeople she transformed too? Or better still, use his sceptre to turn the merpeople back to normal and then they all overthrow Ursula together?
Answer: 1. He's not a murderer. 2. As we see, he's not able to break Ariel's contract, so he wouldn't be able to break the other merpeoples' contracts either.
Jason HoffmanQuestion: When Ursula is posing as a human, does her 'unsinging' voice change to Ariel's as well, or just when she is singing?
Answer: Well from what I remember Jodi Benson, who is the voice of Ariel, disguised her voice for Vanessa 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.
Disney-FreakAnswer: Because he was angry. People sometimes overreact when they're angry.
