Nobody Can Pass This Little Mermaid Quiz, But You Can Try!

Who doesn't love The Little Mermaid?

It's one of Disney's best movies, and it is totally easy to understand why it has such an amazing cult following. The Little Mermaid has it all: intrigue, blackmail, romance, and a familial relationship that is put to the test. Plus, it has a bunch of mermaids in it! C'mon, who hasn't always thought about being a mermaid some day? Only us? Okay, moving on then...

When Disney tried to adapt the story of Ariel for the big screen, they had a big challenge ahead of them. This tale is one of the most beloved on land or sea! There's even a little mermaid statue in Denmark! Of all of the Disney princesses, Ariel is one of our faves. She is certainly the most headstrong and determined out of all of them. The only princess who had a similar relationship with water was Moana, but even she couldn't rival Ariel. That fierce and strong mermaid was in a class all of her own!

We all like to think that we know The Little Mermaid, but who really does? It's time to actually put our skills to the test with this impossible (well, prove us wrong then!) quiz.

Question 1

Who is this character?

Let's start off with one of the most prominent characters in "The Little Mermaid". This guy lorded over the sea kingdom that the mermaids knew at Atlantica. He had seven daughters and was known to be both gentle and fierce at the same time. Even though he was a little gruff at times, it's hard to argue that he doesn't love his seven daughters with all of his heart. Who remembers the name of this prominent merman? It's time to show off some serious "The Little Mermaid" knowledge by identifying him properly from the four answers listed here. Choose now.

Question 2

What did Prince Eric get for his birthday?

Prince Eric was the love interest of "The Little Mermaid". Even though he was a cartoon, we can't help but swoon over his black hair and piercing blue eyes. Really, he is one good looking human! Ariel certainly agreed because she fell in love at first sight. We all know the backstory, but it takes a real fan of "The Little Mermaid" to be able to tell us what this handsome prince got for his birthday. We have listed four possible options here, so simply let us know which one is correct and we will tell you if you know your stuff!

Question 3

Who is this character?

Let's identify another major character in "The Little Mermaid". This bird might be a land-dweller, but he had a lot of friends from the aquatic kingdom. He was considered to be something of an expert on the human realm and Ariel took his words to be the gospel truth. Although he was a bit of a know-it-all, this bird was certainly a lot more loveable than most of the characters in the movie. Who remembers what his name was? We will give you a big hint- it is one of the four that we have listed here. Choose one now.

Question 4

Who is this character?

This character comes in plenty of different forms and is the primary antagonist of "The Little Mermaid". Pictured here, she usually appears as a purplish half-woman, half-octopus, but she can also appear as a beautiful black-haired woman! Those who cross this character usually don't come out okay on the other side, but at the end of the movie, she gets her just desserts. It is really satisfying to see her get what is coming to her, and we have to admit that it is one of the gorier parts of any Disney movie. Who remembers the name of this character?

Question 5

Who is this character?

This crab is one of Ariel's most staunch allies throughout the movie, and also works for King Triton. He tries to encourage Ariel to embrace her life under the sea, as opposed to looking to the human world for true love. Ultimately, he was totally unsuccessful but his efforts were really valiant. We think that he is one of our favorite characters from any Disney movie, and he certainly has some of the best songs in the entire Disney canon! Who remembers the name of this red crab? Tell us the correct answer from the four listed. Choose one now.

Question 6

What does King Triton always have in his hand?

Let's talk about King Triton! This king of the sea is known for his tough love, defending his seven daughters and ruling over the seas with aptitude and kindness- as well as a little authoritarianism! We love King Triton, but we have to be honest, he was a bit of an underwater dictator! Having said that, there was something that King Triton held onto all of the time that gave him some of his potent powers. Who remembers what it was? We have listed four possible options here, but only one of them is actually correct. True fans will know it!

Question 7

Who is this character?

This little blue and yellow fish is one of Ariel's best friends and loyal sidekicks. He is a tropical fish that follows her around on all of her adventures! We totally love this guy because he always has Ariel's back no matter what. Even if there is a shark around, he will stand up for her! When Ariel wound up heading to the land, he couldn't totally follow her but he stayed as close to her side as possible. "The Little Mermaid" would not be the same without this wonderful little fish! Who remembers what his name is? Choose now.

Question 8

What did Prince Eric’s chef try to do to Sebastian?

Sebastian might have been a big fish (or crab!) under the sea, but that all changed when he came to dry land and ran into Prince Eric's chef. Maybe Prince Eric's chef never had a crab best friend, and he certainly didn't look at him the same way that Ariel did. In fact, he did something that nearly put the little red crab in total jeopardy and screws up everything for Ariel and Prince Eric. Fortunately, the chef's plans were foiled and Sebastian went on to live under the sea another day! Who remembers what Prince Eric tried to do to him?

Question 9
