Continuity mistake: 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. (00:19:00)
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Ending / spoiler
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
Sebastian: Are you sure about this?
Scuttle: Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important.
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 construed as part of Ursula's magic, or it's simply an animation error, which is common (I believe it's the latter). (01:06:40)
Question: I once heard that there's a shell somewhere in the movie that has a profanity written on it. Is this true?
