The Little Mermaid (1992)	comment	A Saturday-Morning Cartoon by Disney, based on their 1989 film of the same name, which ran on CBS from September 11, 1992 to November 26, 1994. It was the second (after TaleSpin) in Disney's 90's-era series of TV spinoffs of their more popular movies.note Later entries include TV spinoffs of Aladdin, The Lion King, Hercules, Tarzan, and 101 Dalmatians. Unlike TaleSpin (but like later entries), however, this cartoon typically keeps continuity with its theatrical source, and acts as something of an Expanded Universe, giving backstories to many characters, fleshing out relationships, and allowing them to go on new adventures. It is a direct prequel to the movie, being set before Ariel met Prince Eric (but after the subsequent Direct to Video movie The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning, which retcons some elements introduced in this cartoon, notably how Ariel met Flounder).As is typical of Disney's TV spinoffs, the tone of this cartoon is considerably lighter and more comedic than the movie on which it's based, but unlike many Disney TV series spin-offs, it kept one element of the first movie: the musical format, as the series was gifted with a new musical number in almost every episode. It also contained more obvious (and bizarre) shout outs – a recurring comic villain was called Lobster Mobster, complete with an Edward G. Robinson imitation voice.After three seasons totalling 31 episodes, it went into reruns on the Disney Channel. It later ran on Toon Disney and Disney Junior. In 2018, the entire series was released on iTunes and Amazon Video, remastered in 16x9 HD. The series is also available on Disney+.The show is animated by two different studios: Walt Disney Japan (19 episodes) and Wang, Taiwan (12 episodes).

At one point, Sebastian appears before them and claims he is Crab Louie, trying to trick them into releasing Urchin. Soon enough though, the real Crab Louie arrives and is not amused by his impersonation attempt.

In "Red," she has to play the mother to King Triton when he's youthened into a child, and notes that she's acting as overprotective as he normally does. Years later, being overprotective and lying to cover up a danger to a child gets her a lot more resentment than she'd worried about.

Much of the episode "Beached" is similar to the film Home Alone.

The Little Mermaid (1992) / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: "Thingamajigger" has a couple examples. Trying to learn about the eponymous object, Ariel observes a young man (really Prince Eric) save a dolphin caught in a net, which causes her to realize not all humans are bad and solidifies her interest in the surface world. The episode ends with her storing the boots in her hidden collection of human treasures, with Sebastian openly worrying what Triton will do if he ever finds out about this.

His first appearance revolves around him turning everyone in Atlantica from friends into enemies, just for the sake of it. When this plan is foiled, he openly rants about how much he hates things like friendship and love.
