ANECDOTES
- Some dubbings attempted to recreate Sebastian’s accent in some way:
The Hindi version used a Bengali accent
Both Spanish versions have a distinct Caribbean accent
The Portuguese version has a Angolan Portuguese accent.
- Emilian Kamiński, the Polish voice of Sebastian, said in interview for dubbing.pl - Polish dubbing site - he was the seventh singer invited to sing 'Under the sea'. No one could cope with that song. When he heard the original performer he thought it's too much for him as well. He took the tape of the song home, trained and then recorded in studio.
- In the Brazilian version, the song "Under the Sea" was redubbed by André Filho, the original Brazilian voice of Sebastian, and a new choir. The rest of Sebastian's songs and his dialogues were left as they were from the 1989 dubbing.
- In the Japanese version, all the songs, including Sebastian's, were also redubbed, with their original Japanese voices.
- The Little Mermaid has inaugurated the first dub from Austria, though some voices were used from/in the Germany redub.
- China accepts only a few foreign films per year. Therefore The Little Mermaid got dubbed for TV in 2007.
- The Indonesian, Malay, Mandarin (China), Tamil and Telugu dubbings are TV dubbings, never released on VHS/DVD/BLU-RAYs.
- The Albanian and Persian dubbings aren't officially Disney's, they're made by independent studios.
