The image isn't damaged — Ariel's statue is designed to look like it's glitching out.
Inside the castle, Cinderella was given her own exhibit. It's a grisly carriage-crash scene surrounded by paparazzi.

The balloons say "I am an imbecile."
The kids' section of Dismaland features a "pocket money loan" shop.

The map description for this area reads "Strictly for the little ones – an area that combines soft play and loan shop."

The orca splashing out of a toilet bowl may be a reference to the controversy over animal captivity caused by expose documentary Blackfish.
The large-scale exhibit is home to more than just Banksy originals. There are multiple galleries featuring dozens of international artists.

This is not the first jab Banksy has taken at the Walt Disney Company. In 2006, the guerrilla-style artist sneaked a figure dressed like a Guantanamo Bay prisoner into Disneyland.
