Revealing mistake: Ariel swims underwater and opens a book with stiff and easy-to-flip pages that produce a flutter sound when turned. The paper should be either soggy, or with its pages stuck together or even dissolved, and in no case sound and look as if it were dry.
Continuity mistake: When Scuttle attacks Vanessa, she scares him away using her left arm. An instant cut later, both of her arms are raised.
Trivia: Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 animated movie "The Little Mermaid", appears in the live-action film as a marketplace vendor who offers Ariel a plate of food and a fork. In a reference to the original film, Ariel uses the fork to comb her hair. (01:20:30)
