Ursula

1. Marge Champion served as a movement model for Snow White; some of this animation was later reworked for Maid Marion in Disney’s Robin Hood (1973).

2. Deleted scenes: An extended “Fathoms Below” sequence in which it is revealed that Ursula is Triton’s sister; alternate version of “Poor Unfortunate Souls” explaining why Ursula was banished by Triton; a scene just before the concert in which Sebastian finds out Ariel is missing; extended scene of Sebastian lost in Eric’s castle; Sebastian giving additional advice to Ariel at bedtime; and the fight with Ursula to the ending with no dialog.

3. To save time and money Disney used to recycle animations that they had already created. Here are Duchess from the Aristocats and Maid Marion from Robin Hood.

4. Ben Wright’s final film. When he got the part of Grimsby, Prince Eric’s butler, the erstwhile Disney folks had no idea that he had been the voice of Roger in One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961). He had to tell them.

5. This also happened, Scar from The Lion King makes an appearance in Hercules

6. Here is another example of how Disney reuses the same scenes from other Disney movies. Here you see a clip from the Jungle book and Winnie the Pooh.
