Prepare yourself for a little bit of Little Mermaid trivia all about the “original” animated version that Disney released decades ago. Sure, most of the answers would apply to the live-action version released in 2023 as well, but the pictures and basis for the questions are about the animated version.
This Little Mermaid quiz may be hard, may be easy, or may be just an easy way to pass some time as you count the clock down to quitting time. Whatever your motivation, this quiz is here for you.
No, this Little Mermaid quiz will not prove you are a genius or show your personality type. I’m guessing though, you’re probably a bored worker, parent of young children, or some other poor unfortunate soul trapped with nothing better to do than to test your knowledge of Little Mermaid trivia.
Well, you are in luck! This relatively short set of questions is sure to take up about 5 to 10 minutes if you really drag this crap out.
If you don’t have a copy of The Little Mermaid and want to refresh your memory, you may want to subscribe to Disney+, which you can do here. No, I don’t get any money, it’s just a convenient link for your lazy ass.
Little Mermaid Trivia
What year did Disney's animated The Little Mermaid come out?
Disney Studios
1989 ended up being a big year. Taylor Swift was born, and Disney kicked off what many refer to as its Golden Age or Renaissance, introducing many of the modern princesses, including Ariel, Jasmine, and Belle.
Who provided Ariel's voice?
Jodi Benson's star really rose and then just sort of faded with Ariel. This is the role she is best known for, not that she hasn't done other things since, but chances are you only know her as Ariel.
What is Ursala's alter-ego (human form)'s name?
Disney Studios
She looks like a Karen though, like she would like to speak to Eric's manager or something.
How old is Ariel during the events of The Little Mermaid?
Disney Studios
Barely old enough to drive in many states and still unable to vote, Ariel was well on her way to becoming a statistic and making an appearance on 16 and Pregnant.
What human object does Scuttle call a dinglehopper?
Disney Studios
A fork - that oddly resembles a trident that Ariel's dad yields - somehow gets the name dinglehopper. You'd think they'd call it a tiny trident or something.
Why does King Triton believe Ariel is acting differently?
Disney Studios
King Triton did suspect Ariel was chasing some tail, he just didn't realize it was a human.
What are Ursala's pets names?
Walt Disney Studios
Flotsam and Jetsam doing their thing since 1989.
Who wrote The Little Mermaid?
Disney Studios
This Danish author wrote The Little Mermaid.
Which more recent-ish Disney movie may have referenced The Little Mermaid's author?
Disney Studios
In a flashback scene meant to give more humanity to Elsa's parents, her mom asks Agnar what he is reading. He replies, "Oh, some new Danish author" which may be Hans. This is also likely a reference to Frozen's original source material "The Snow Queen" which Hans also wrote.
How many thingamabobs does Ariel say she has?
Disney Studios
Claims she's got 20, but she never proves it.
