Scuttle (The Little Mermaid)

Last Updated on: November 15th, 2024

Who is Scuttle?

Scuttle is a quirky, lovable seagull who appears in Disney’s animated classic The Little Mermaid (1989). He is a close friend of Ariel, the adventurous mermaid, and serves as her primary link to the human world.

Scuttle fancies himself an expert on human artifacts, though his knowledge is hilariously flawed. His enthusiastic but inaccurate explanations of human objects, like calling a fork a “dinglehopper” or a tobacco pipe a “snarfblatt,” add humor and charm to the film. Despite his comedic missteps, Scuttle is a loyal ally who helps Ariel navigate her journey to discover the human world and win Prince Eric’s heart.

In the original animated film, Scuttle is voiced by the legendary comedian Buddy Hackett, whose distinctive, raspy voice and comedic timing brought the character to life. Hackett’s portrayal made Scuttle a fan-favorite sidekick, adding lightheartedness to the story.

In Disney’s 2023 live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, Scuttle is reimagined as a diving bird to align with the underwater setting. The character is voiced by Awkwafina, who injects a fresh, energetic spin into the role.
