- In the Brazilian and Hindi versions, it's not the voice of Ariel who sang as Vanessa. Instead, they used other singers, Miriam Peracchi for the Brazilian version, and an unknown singer in the Hindi dub.
- In the Cantonese version, it's not the voice of Ariel who sang as Vanessa either; instead, they used Jodi Benson's vocalizations from the scene "Ariel's voice" on the instrumental on the song.
- In the Albanian 2002, Czech (and possibly Slovak and Thai) dubbings, it's the voice of Ursula who dubs the speaking voice of Vanessa, while the voices of Ariel did the singing (except for Albania that didn't dub the songs).
- In the Greek and Romanian dubbings, the singing voices of Ariel dubbed both speaking and singing parts of Vanessa.

ANECDOTES
- Ulla Tapaninen (Finnish dub), Micheline Dax (French dub) and Beate Hasenau (German dub) came back in 1998 to redub their character. However, Micheline Dax refused to record the song again - which was difficult to sing for her - so her 1989 recording of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" was kept in the 1998 redub, while she redubbed the speaking parts.
- Three scenes were censored in Norway and in Sweden for its original 1990 and its 1998 cinema releases: The Sunken Ship, Ariel's Voice, and The Final Battle.
- In the Latin Spanish dub, Serena Olvido is actually the transvestite actor Ángel Garza. The directors had a lot of difficulties to find a Spanish voice for Ursula, and they loved his performance at once.
- The Arabic version also used a man to dub Ursula's singing voice.
- In the Japanese dubbing, the songs were redubbed in 1997. The Magic Formula however wasn't redubbed, while the sentence "Now, here's the deal" (at the end of the first part of the song) was redubbed for reasons of synchronism. The rest of the dub was left as it was.
- Simona Patitucci, the Italian voice of Ariel, auditionned for both Ariel and Ursula. She eventually got Ariel.
- At first, it was planned to be explained in the movie that Ursula was King Triton's sister, therefore Ariel's aunt. But this idea didn't make it to the final cut.
- 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.
