Trivia
Jodi Benson: the original voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989), appears as the person who gives Ariel a "dinglehopper" (fork) during her and Prince Eric's tour of the market.

Goofs
When Ariel jumps into the water and swims to go back to the castle to stop Eric and Vanessa's engagement party, she should be soaking wet, however, she is completely dry.

Quotes
Sir Grimsby: Don't be held back by what you think should be. Think of only what is.

Crazy credits
The film opens with a quote by "The Little Mermaid" writer Hans Christian Andersen: "But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more."

Original was better

Just wasn't impressed with the remake. My daughter who's 12 even said the original was way better, and it don't take much to see why. I just don't see the need to remake what was a great movie, unless Disney I'd just trying to cash in. The characters in CGI were no where near as good as the cartoon. I wasn't impressed at the new Ariel and just didn't come off the way I expected a talented actor like berry is. I was impressed with the singing, but that's about it. Like I said in the headline, I don't think a remake was warranted. As a Disney fan of all the older movies I grew up with, this does the original bad.
