little mermaid quiz questions and answers

The animated classic The Little Mermaid is one of our favorite Disney films of all-time. It not only has some of Disney’s most iconic songs (Under the Sea, Part of Your World, Poor Unfortunate Souls), but also the funniest characters.

How can you not love Ariel, Sebastian, Scuttle, Flounder, and of course, the epic sea-witch Disney villain Ursula! She even gives Cruella a run for her money!

And believe it or not, the film almost didn’t happen! In fact, the development of The Little Mermaid had been back and forth at Disney since the 1940s.
