The animated version of The Little Mermaid is packed with Easter eggs and fun details, including the hidden cameo of the great Kermit the Frog.
Some of Disney’s classic animated movies have hidden Easter eggs from other Disney movies and some even have cameos from other characters, and falling into the latter category is The Little Mermaid, which counted on the presence of none other than Kermit the Frog.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, and based on Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairy tale of the same name, The Little Mermaid tells the story of Ariel, a young mermaid princess who dreams of becoming human and falls in love with human prince Eric, who she saves after a storm wrecks his ship. Ariel’s desires catch the attention of sea witch Ursula, who makes a deal with her to turn her into a human in exchange for her voice.
Kermit The Frog Appears In The Little Mermaid's Opening Sequence The Little Mermaid opens with a brief musical moment courtesy of Eric’s crew at their ship before taking the audience to the bottom of the ocean to meet King Triton, as he hosted a big event at his palace, with all the mermaids and mermen attending. King Triton made a big entrance in a carriage pulled by dolphins, flying over the audience and lighting up the chandelier above the stage.
Speaking to Insider in 2019 about The Little Mermaid’s 30th anniversary, co-director Ron Clements explained Kermit shows up at the big event at King Triton’s palace thanks to an animator who added the famous Muppet as “a little inside joke”, though Clements believes the animator “did it for himself”, but neither he nor Musker opposed to it and actually found it very funny.
The Little Mermaid Hides Other Disney Cameos Kermit the Frog isn’t the only celebrity hiding among the crowd at King Triton’s palace during his big entrance, and the three biggest and most famous best friends in Disney’s history are also in attendance: Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald.
