Minecraft: The Little Mermaid has a legacy!

Have you ever seen The Little Mermaid with Legs? Yes, but I’ll talk about that later in this article. Anyway, do you want to know some super interesting facts about Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”? I’ll try to keep it rated G, but the truth is the truth. Simple, honest and ridiculously funny, as you will soon discover.

This information may make you ask yourself a simple question. Was this movie really intended for children?

Let’s get right to it. The Little Mermaid was perhaps my favorite Disney movie as a child. Yeah, I guess I fell in love with Ariel, but what guy doesn’t?

Now with the fun facts:

In the musical version of The Little Mermaid, Ursula sings a love song about Triton, her brother. A little strange, huh?

Ursula is undoubtedly based on the famous drag queen, Divine. Does that surprise you?

Ursula’s sidekicks, Flotsam and Jetsam, are her most prized possessions.

Why was Sebastian a red crab if he had a Jamaican accent?

Aladdin was jealous of Prince Eric, he felt that if he looked like him, he might as well have Ariel.

Now onto the good stuff. The things you might wish you didn’t want to know. The things your kids don’t know, and I don’t advise you to tell them any time soon, however, you’re going to get a lot of laughs out of this. Be warned, this could make you dig up your old Disney movies. Especially The Little Mermaid. It would be unfortunate if you didn’t find this as funny as most I share it with.

Now, the craziest facts about the movie:

Some things to note about Disney’s “Ariel.” First, do you know how old she was in the movie? Sixteen. Yes, 16, most people would never guess. Surprisingly, I learned this while at a Disney resort this year during a poolside trivia game (yes, the trivia girl looked a lot like Ariel, if you must know).

Did Ursula have legs? Yes. In fact, when Úrsala had legs, she was called Vanessa. She’s not exactly a name for such an evil woman.

Finally, the illustrator of the film’s cover was about to be fired from his wonderful career at Disney. I wasn’t too happy about this, I’ll tell you why. Consequently, he drew a “dildo” on the first production cover to “stick” it to Disney. Funny, but true.
