- TriviaWill be released by Discotek Media uncut for the first time on DVD in 2015 in North America.
- Quotes
Marina: Yes It's the only way. I must return to the sea, where I was born; where I belong. Only through my death can I keep my love for the prince true, and pure. And perhaps, when I have turned to sea foam, foam upon the waves, I may yet find a way to be of service to my prince, and to others. For though his heart was never meant to be mine, never the less I have learned the meaning of true love. I want to be with him and around him, always, even if it is only in the form of a clear, fine, sea foam.
- Alternate versionsThe 2001 VHS and "Family DVD Classics" versions have been edited and removes all scenes that show the mermaid's bare chest.

Featured review
Under Rated Film
I really like this film it isn't as pretty as some Disney films, but it also had a lower budget. The music is terrible, but I love it, even Marina's song where I could never understand what she's saying! This film does have it's issues, the sound cuts out, and the picture is OK at best. It hasn't been treated the best post-production. I really wish there would be a better release with a cleaned up animation, a Japanese tract, a new dub, and the original English dub. And about the dubbing- In America it took a while to really get dubbing decent. It isn't this film exclusively, it's all movies of the period. I recommend this film if you find it anywhere, but don't spend too much the DVD set up is minor at best. Disney didn't perfect the Little Mermaid story they told one version of it. Don't get me wrong, I love Ariel, she just isn't the only fish in the sea.
