The Little Mermaid Facts
The Little Mermaid Goofs
* In the
scene where King Triton destroys the stone statue of Prince Eric,
you can clearly see that the statue's face explodes and breaks into
pieces as well as the rest of the body. However, at the point a few
minutes later when Arielle decides to meet the seawitch Ursula, she
caresses the statue's face as a whole again.
* In the beginning when Ariel is watching the
sailors dance on the ship the dog comes over and licks her face, but
she wipes off the wrong cheek.
* When the wedding is taking place, the priest's
cross turns upside down for one frame.
* After Eric's wedding, she arrives at the ship
without shoes, then she receives her voice back and just before they
try to kiss, she's wearing shoes.
* When Grimsby is presenting the statue of Eric
to the prince, one of the crew's shirts changes colour from white to
blue.
* When she is in the Prince's guest bedroom, the
covers magically appear over her.
* When Sebastian is in Ariel's cavern with all
her treasures, he accidentally gets his legs caught in a thimble.
You can see it from the front, but when they show a shot from the
back, it is gone. In the following shot from the front, it is back
on again.
* When Eric first washes up on the beach and
Ariel is singing to him/stroking his face, she has no fingernails.
In the next scene she does.
* When Ariel is swimming back home from her
treasure collecting trip at the sunken ship, she has her pink bag.
Then the eels' eyes merge from watching her to Ursula's bubble globe
thing Ariel doesn't have it anymore. Then when the scene switches
back, she has it again.
* Ursula's lipstick disappears from her lips
right before she applies it.
* When Ursula is Vanessa and turns into her sea
form, Eric is in his wedding suit. Then he is in the life boat
paddling out to save Ariel in his normal clothes. When someone you
love is in dire need of help, you wouldn't stop and change clothes
first.
* During the "Kiss the Girl" song a
bunch of fish swim up underneath the boat, and the water is seen to
be very deep. After the boat is knocked over however, Ariel and Eric
are standing in the water which now appears to be only a few feet
deep.
* When Ariel is at dinner with Eric and Grimsby,
her fingernails are not painted when she picks up the fork, but are
painted pink when she puts it down.
* When Eric first washes up on the beach and
Ariel is singing to him, she looks to her left when she hears Max
barking, but Max and Grim are actually coming from her right.
* 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.
* When Sebastian is hiding from the chef under a
lettuce leaf in the kitchen, at first he is behind a bunch of stuff
on the table. In the next shot, all the stuff is gone, and he's
alone on the table.
* When Eric and Ariel swim to each other, she
says, "Eric, you've got to get away from here." He
replies, "No, I won't leave you," but his lips don't move.
(Regardless of the reason, still a mistake.)
* In the scene where Ariel is at dinner with
Eric and Grimsby, she begins to brush her hair with a fork. The
prong number of the fork changes from shot to shot. Sometimes three,
sometimes four.
* When Ariel and Flounder first come to Scuttle,
he drops an anchor and falls below. When he does this, a few
feathers fall out of him. But the feathers never land.
* When Flounder swims through an anchor at the
start the anchor has round edges, but when the shark bursts in the
anchor has flat edges.
