The Cameo | |
| The Incredible Mr. Limpet / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Although not a Disney character, Mr. Limpet can be seen in the background at the end of the "Under the Sea" number in Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989). Limpet now also appears in the background in the Disney California Adventure and Magic Kingdom "The Little Mermaid" ride. He also appears in an episode of The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. Sadly, as part of a seafood buffet. He got a little more respect in Histeria!, appearing in a sketch about The Boston Tea Party, along with a fish version of his old pal Andy Griffith. He didn't care for the soggy crackers, though. | |

Interspecies Romance: Sort of an odd example; despite being human for much of his life and only recently transformed, Limpet is practically vibrating the moment he first meets Ladyfish. This comes to make more sense later on when he speculates that maybe he was always meant to be a fish, and that nature simply corrected her error. | |

Super-Scream: Limpet gained a vocal weapon when he was turned into a fish. Though it's less a sonic shriek and more a sonic boom, as he generates a thundering percussive shockwave. It's put to good use at the climax of the movie when he uses it to guide "thrum" seeking German torpedoes to destroy the Nazi U-boats that launched them. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Incredible Mr. Limpet / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The Nazi response to Limpet's "thrum", which they only know is an American system that picks out their subs to call in naval fire, is to equip their torpedoes with systems to track it. There is literally no scenario where this doesn't result in them targeting their own ships. It's partially justified since they have no idea Limpet is a sapient fish. | |

Love Triangle | |
| The Incredible Mr. Limpet / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: Two mild examples. Henry, Bessie, and George hang out together all the time. George is Henry's platonic best friend. Bessie is married to Henry, but several times it is at least implied that Bessie had more fun with George than with Henry (not *that* kind of fun). At the end of the flashback, Henry asks George to take care of Bessie. At the end of the movie, George mentions that he and Bessie have been happy together for a long time, indicating that they got married after Henry's incident. After Henry's transformation, he falls for Ladyfish, but is still married to Bessie. By the end, he and Bessie both realize it is for the best if they just let go. Henry swims off with Ladyfish, and George and Bessie get married. | |

Faint in Shock | |
| The Incredible Mr. Limpet / int_bee8baee | comment |
Faint in Shock: When George Stickle hears the supposedly drowned Henry Limpet's voice coming from the sea, he faints dead away —probably because he thinks he's hearing Henry's ghost. | |

A Dog Named "Dog" | |
| The Incredible Mr. Limpet / int_efd11fe3 | comment |
A Dog Named "Dog": Ladyfish. Limpet is the one who names her and she's new to the whole concept of names, so the blame rests squarely with him. Also, he nicknames the hermit crab "Crusty" as a shortening of "crustacean". | |
