Sex & Nudity
-
- Ariel takes a bath after arriving at Eric's castle. While her privates aren't shown, we know she is fully nude.
- After Flounder and Sebastian get the now-human Ariel to the surface, her buttocks are briefly visible again when she takes her first breath. Also later when Ariel tries to stand up in the shallow water, there's a brief view of the side of her buttocks.
- Ariel begins to transform into a sea polyp and her shell bra disappears. In one brief shot, her breasts are bare, with her arm covering her nipples. Her bra reappears once she transforms back into a human.
- When Ursula turns into a human to seduce Prince Eric in one shot she rubs one of her breasts against his arm while cuddling him.
- At Ursula and Eric's wedding birds fly under Ursula's dress making it fly up giving a split second view of her panties.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The shipwreck sequence can be frightening.
- A shark attacks without injury to any characters.
- The scene in which the sea king destroys Ariel's treasures can be frightening.

Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- The ending features underage marriage scene on the ship with Ariel and Prince Eric getting married. As the plot establishes Ariel to be 16 years old. 4 days later after Ariel goes on a date with Prince Eric and almost loses Eric to Ursula which she gets defeated. Ariel immediately gets married to Prince Eric at the age 16 and show Eric and Ariel kissing each other before the movie ends (although it likely wouldn't have been underage at the time that the film is set, and in any case it's implied that her father agreed to the marriage).
- Ariel needs Eric to kiss her in order to remain human. He nearly does so after some persuasion, but Flotsam and Jetsam capsize their boat and put an end to it.
- When Ariel is first given legs, she is nude from the waist down. Her buttocks briefly appear on camera.
Violence & Gore
- Ariel tries to strangle Ursula, after turning Triton into a worm, but Ursula throws her down and points the lighted trident at her. Then Eric throws something sharp at Ursula by her arm, causing it to ooze purple blood.
- A dog is kicked in the face by the sea witch in human form.
- Animals attack the sea witch once she is in human form. Played mainly for laughs.
- A French chef is shown graphically slicing up fish, with some blood, and then tries to kill a crab repeatedly in a particular scene that is played for laughs. Later, his teeth are comically knocked out by a ship's mast.
- The sea witch, Ursula attempts to kill the prince, but when Ariel pulls her hair, she instead kills her two eels making them explode into little bits - a detached eye is briefly visible.
- The sea witch grows to monstrous size and towers over Ariel and the Prince threatening them.
- The sea witch's violent death is of particular note. In her gigantic form, she is impaled by a ship's bowsprit (some blood is shown). She is then struck by lightning and we clearly see her body get electrocuted.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- While Ursula is disguised as a woman pretending to be Ariel, the real Ariel gives Eric his memories back Ursula becomes her regular form and the frightening part is before Ariel kisses Eric it is when Ursula takes her regular form and she uses her hands to charge towards Ariel and the movement going over to Ariel.
- The final battle with Ursula can be frightening. Right after Ursula accidentally kills her pet eels, as Ariel and Eric are rushing to the surface, a cloud of smoke starts forming beneath Ursula and the enraged look on her face combined with how she is breathing can be unsettling to young viewers; The next one is when Ursula rises from the water as a giant. Her skin is darker and her voice changes to a male-like roar. Plus, the consistent maniacal look on her face when she is a giant is quite unsettling. This quite darkish scene ends with her death, as she is impaled from the sharp tip of the wrecked ship.
