This was considered to be the first Disney animated feature using all digital processes but at the time CAPS wasn't ready. Disney's next animated feature The Rescuers Down Under was going to be the first 100% digitally processed film.

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Ariel drops the bag to save Flounder from the shark, we do not see the bag until she picks it up off the floor.
Disney artists had considered an animated film of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid," part of the "Silly Symphonies" series, in the late 1930s, and illustrator Kay Nielsen prepared a number of striking story sketches in pastels and watercolors. The project was dropped in favor of Andersen's Ugly Duckling (1939). For this film, the artists received inspiration from the Nielsen story sketches that were brought out of the Archives for them to study, and they gave Kay Nielsen a "visual development" credit on the film.
