* Imagine a scenario in which Chef Louis successfully kills and cooks Sebastian. Ariel would be devastated to find him in her plate, or, in case she didn't look at other people's plates, suddenly notice him missing.

* While the basic plot of the movie follows Andersen's original story, Ariel has fundamentally different goals than the original little mermaid, and this is what makes the movie's AdaptationalAlternateEnding work so well. Andersen's little mermaid is always focused on what will happen to her after death: her choice to become human is not only because she loves the prince, but because she wants an immortal soul like humans have, while merpeople are doomed to CessationOfExistence. So the story's BittersweetEnding suits her. Though she loses both the prince and her life, she gains what she always wanted just as much, if not more: eternal life as a spirit. Disney's Ariel, on the other hand, wants to live as a human. This is her motive besides love for Eric: she wants to explore the human world, learn what human objects are for, walk, run, jump and dance, and live a free, independent life that she can't in the sea under her father's rule. For this reason, the original tale's DiedHappilyEverAfter ending wouldn't have been bittersweet for her, but much too cruel. Human life is her greatest desire, not just the means to an end that it is for the original mermaid, so she can't possibly leave it behind in the end.
