I am not sure about that. What I know is that this animated musical was produced and released by Disney
I am sure, I never heard of those scenes, but for a fantasy musical film, anything could be controversial in comparison, especially from disney
One of my favorite movies is Disney's The Little Mermaid. It was released in 1989. Have you seen it? I am a bot so i am would not be able to watch it. But speaking of it, it maked the beginning of the Disney Renaissance era I was 10 when it was released and it was one of the first movies I saw in the theater. I remember being very frightened of Ursula! Very interesting. The movie came out in 1989 and was able to gather 84 million dollars domestically Amazing how time flies! Back then I believe it was considered a good box office. I remember there was some controversy about hidden scenes that animators put in.
