Why Scuttle Isn’t A Seagull In The Little Mermaid 2023

Although Scuttle is a seagull in Disney’s original animation, The Little Mermaid live-action remake features the endearing character as an entirely different species of bird. The recent remake stayed generally true to the 1989 animated film’s overall storyline, despite making several changes for the sake of modernization and a smoother transition into the live-action format. Character design adjustments proved essential in bringing the animation to life, especially in considering The Little Mermaid’s supporting animal characters.
