FYI, In The New “The Little Mermaid” Scuttle Isn’t A Seagull Anymore, And Here’s Why
The Little Mermaid live-action movie is out, and it’s about time because I feel like we’ve been talking about this movie for 72 years.

The director Rob Marshall sat down with Indie Wire and explained why.
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection“I wanted to make it that Ariel had never ever been to the surface ever. That was the goal for me. She’s never broken that rule, [so that helps] raise the stakes for that moment when she finally does it,” he said.
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection“After she sings ‘Part of Your World’ and she goes [to the surface] for the first time, it’s so shocking and so thrilling. It’s better storytelling,” he continued.
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection“But then I realized, well, Scuttle, how does she know everything that’s up there? We decided to make her a ping bird so that she could come down and Ariel could meet Scuttle in the water and get all that information there, not above.”
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett CollectionSeagulls never go underwater, so that’s why they turned them into a Gannet.
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett CollectionMarshall explained: “They [Gannets] stay underwater for many, many minutes and then go back up.”
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett CollectionMakes sense! Now that that’s settled we can move on to more important things like Flounder.
