The Little Mermaid (1989)
Trivia: When Scuttle discovers that Vanessa is actually Ursula, he sees Vanessa's true image reflected in the mirror, but the image we see in the mirror is not reversed, note Ursula's mole and her shell necklace are not backwards. This may be part of Ursula's magic, or simply an animation error, which is common (I believe it's the latter). (01:06:40)
