ANECDOTES
- Queen Athena actually has only two speaking lines in the movie, and a song.
- In the Korean dubbing, Bang Ju-ran (방주란), the singing voice, actually does the little speaking part "Goodnight darlings" after Athena's song. But she doesn't dub the other speaking line of the Queen.
- Bang Ju-ran (방주란) - Korean - and Noha Fekry (نهى فكري) - Arabic - were the singing voice of Ariel in the The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea. (Bang Ju-ran also sang as Ariel in the TV Series).
- A mistake was made in the Italian credits: they switched Ariel's and Athena's singing voices.
- Limor Shapira (לימור שפירא), the Hebrew voice of Ariel in this sequel, was wrongly credited for the singing voice of Athena as well.
- China accepts only a few foreign films per year. Therefore The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning got dubbed for TV in 2009.
- The Indonesian, Malay and Tamil dubbings are TV dubs, never released on VHS/DVD/BLU-RAYs.
- The Albanian dubbing isn't officially Disney's, it was made by an independent studio.
