The Little Mermaid (1989)
Didn’t think a cartoon would make it onto the list of the most paused moments in movie history? Think again! Anyone who grew up in the ’90s, or raised a child then, will surely remember The Little Mermaid and her quest to earn back her voice. However, if you didn’t pause the movie at the right moment, you might have missed something.
According to some parents, in the scene where Ariel receives her legs, animators revealed far too much of Ariel’s body. While Disney has always denied the claim, it did lead to the company cutting that scene a little short for future releases. But those with original VHS copies can still see the moment in question!
