Co-director Ron Clements brought this up with Studio Chairman Jeffery Katzenberg, but he rejected it due to being too similar to the 1984 hit Splash, which had talks of a sequel at the time. After a repitch, Katzenberg gave the film the green light. He also planned to cut “Part of Your World,” despite John Musker, Ron Clements, Alan Menken, and Howard Ashman telling him it’s a bad idea. Katzenberg didn’t listen, and was ready to make the move, but Ariel animator Glen Keane convinced him otherwise, and it stayed in the film. Now, the song is recognized as one of the best Disney songs ever.

Originally, Ursula was not supposed to grow to giant size at the end, and Ariel doesn’t get her voice back until after Ursula is killed. Ursula was going to be more physical after she dropped the trident after Ariel attacked her, and Eric was supposed to get it from Sebastian, and throw it into Ursula’s chest. Katzenberg ordered for the ending to be changed because he wanted it to be like Die Hard.
