13 Things You Didn't Know About Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid: Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say our trivia's complete? There's nothing fishy about these thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Little Mermaid, and were confident that you'll make them a part of your world. 13. In the opening scene when King Triton arrives at the arena, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Kermit the Frog can be briefly seen in the crowd of sea-people as mermen when he passes over them. 12. Originally, Sebastian was to have an English accent. It was lyricist/producer Howard Ashman who suggested he speak with a Caribbean accent. This opened the door to calypso-style numbers like "Under the Sea", which won the Academy Award. 11. The character of Ursula was based on drag performer and John Waters regular Divine. Her personality and some of her actions were also largely inspired by a previous Disney villain, Madame Medusa from Disney's The Rescuers. 10. It's possible by HipPODrome Cast
