When Ariel is first given legs, she is clearly nude from the waist down but she is positioned in such a way that keeps her private parts out of sight most of the time.When Flounder and Sebastian carry Ariel to the surface, her buttocks are very briefly visible, and barely perceptible without freezing the image. Her private area is seen for a few frames too.After Flounder and Sebastian get the now-human Ariel to the surface, her butt is briefly visible when she takes her first breath. Also later when Ariel tries to stand up in the shallow water, there's a split-second side view of her butt.The sea witch tells Ariel to use body language to attract her man.Scuttle asks Ariel if she got new seashells (referring to her seashell bra) when guessing what is new about her.Her goal is to get him to kiss her.
