Scuttle enlists several birds, flamingoes, lobsters, starfish, dolphins, and seals to help him. Ariel and Flounder swim after the boat on a barrel that Sebastian cuts loose, while Sebastian goes to alert King Triton and instructs Scuttle to stall the wedding in any way he can. Realizing what Ursula is planning, Scuttle goes to inform Ariel and Sebastian what he saw. While flying past the wedding ship, Scuttle overhears Vanessa ( Ursula in disguise) singing in Ariel's voice, he watches in horror as she goes up to the mirror, laughing evilly, and the mirror reveals her true identity. On the morning of the third day, Scuttle flies into Ariel's bedroom to wish her good luck for the wedding. During Sebastian's " Kiss the Girl" scene, Scuttle attempts to help the chorus but isn't much help with his off-key singing.


Scuttle tries to help Ariel get Eric to kiss her as best he can. While Ariel is human she tries to brush her hair with a fork and play music by blowing on a pipe. He first helps Ariel dress up before Eric finds. He also learns that Ariel must get Eric to fall in love and kiss her in three days to stay human. Later on, when Ariel becomes human, she goes to shore and introduces Scuttle to her human form, though he does not notice that she has changed until Sebastian points it out to him. As Eric awakens, Scuttle and Ariel flee the scene. She ask Scuttle if Eric survived (with Scuttle pulling Eric's eyelids to check his vision) but Scuttle believes him dead because he couldn't hear his heartbeat (Scuttle was actually trying to listen through his foot). While Scuttle was gone, Ariel rescues a human prince named Eric who rescued his dog Max who is still trapped aboard the burning ship and takes him to shore. He joins her but is blown away by the wind caused by the hurricane yelling. Later on, Scuttle finds Ariel watching humans on a ship. This reminds Ariel that she must participate in a concert, she then swims off. He then explains that a smoke pipe is a "snarfblatt" used by humans to make music. Scuttle describes Ariel's discovered fork to be a "dinglehopper" used by humans to straighten their hair out. Scuttle is first seen on his island humming after Ariel and Flounder escaped from Glut the Shark and visit to show their new human things. In spite of this, Scuttle has shown to have some knowledge of humans that most of the sea creatures don't. To himself and Ariel, he is an expert on humans, though he knows very little. Like Ariel, he has a love for human objects and collects a number of them. Scuttle is possibly the most eccentric of Ariel's circle of friends. He is also implied to have the ability to communicate with humans. Scuttle is the only one of Ariel's friends capable of flight and as such is very useful in times of crisis. Upon their first meeting, Ariel wasn't too fond of Scuttle-as his manic personality can be grating to some-but after Scuttle proved himself by saving Sebastian from a band of pirates, he and Ariel developed a strong friendship. He wrongly names a fork a "dinglehopper" and says that it is used as a comb and a smoking pipe as a "snarfblatt" while claiming it works like a trumpet.

Ariel, a princess from Atlantica who's fascinated with humans, regularly consults Scuttle about items she salvages, though his identifications consist of nonsense. He was born as Scuttlebutt, but, as Scuttle puts it, "it was changed for obvious reasons." He has had numerous (accidental and nearly fatal) encounters with humans throughout his life, which leads him to believe himself to be an expert on human culture, specifically human objects. Scuttle lives off the coast of Prince Eric's kingdom.
