Scuttle (The Little Mermaid)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scuttle was also the name of a fictional seagull, that first appeared in the 1989 Walt Disney Studios feature film The Little Mermaid.
[edit] Character History
Being both a creature of the sea and of the surface world, the mermaid Ariel considered Scuttle an expert on the trinkets she collected from the human world, though his identifications were often completely wrong. (He wrongly named a fork a dinglehopper and said it was used as a comb and a smoking pipe a snarfblat while claiming it worked like a trumpet. We later hear Ariel invoke these contrived terms in her song "Part of Your World", where she refers to her collected relics from the human world as "whatsits", "whozits", "gadgets", "gizmos", and "thing-a-mabobs.") The voice of the goofy seagull was provided by Buddy Hackett in The Little Mermaid and in the direct-to-video sequel, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, in 2000. For the 1992-1994 cartoon series, and since Hackett's death in 2003, Scuttle's voice has been voice actor Maurice LaMarche.
