The Little Mermaid statue was a present from brewer Carl Jacobsen (The Carlsberg Breweries) to the city of Copenhagen, made by a then little known sculptor called Edvard Erichsen. The Little Mermaid was unveiled at Langelinje in 1913, as part of a general trend in Copenhagen in those days, selecting classical and historic figures to be used as decorations in the city's parks and public areas.

The Mermaid Parade celebrates the sand, the sea, the salt air and the beginning of summer, as well as the history and mythology of Coney Island, Coney Island pride, and artistic self-expression. The Parade is characterized by participants dressed in hand-made costumes as Mermaids, Neptunes, various sea creatures, the occasional wandering lighthouse, Coney Island post card or amusement ride, as well as antique cars, marching bands, drill teams, and the odd yacht pulled on flatbed.

"Certainly the image in The Little Mermaid of the clergyman who obtains an erection while performing the wedding ceremony qualifies as an image that does not belong in a children's video. And having the letters S-E-X float across the screen in The Lion King is objectionable as well. Why hasn't Disney recalled these videos?" Other Disney films and animations for children that contain objectionable sexual content include Roger Rabbit, Aladdin, and The Santa Clause. Disney claims it recalled The Rescuers to "keep its promise to families that they can trust and rely on the Disney brand to provide the finest in family entertainment." "This so-called provider of fine family entertainment should put its money where its mouth is and recall these other five videos that have equally offensive content," said Brown.

Critic Christine Fell states that the little mermaid's loss of voice conveys her aloneness in both worlds. "When she had her voice she could not communicate with her own people because her ways of thinking were remote from theirs. Now that she has lost the means of communication she finds the prince, and it is indicated that he had the degree of understanding to share and respond to the little mermaid's thoughts and hopes, if the machinery of communication were not absent" (Fell 1967, 85).
