I usually go into Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs) assuming an 85% chance of a Bechdel - but alas, no such luck. Sharon, Cody-the-mermaid-boy's mom, says a whole bunch of lines to his girlfriend, Sam, but she almost never has anything to say back, except one time when it's about Cody-the-mermaid-boy, and another action-response, performing CPR (to another boy) as Sharon instructs her.

Mermaid mom doesn't get a name, but even if she did, the eye contact conversation would still be about their co-son Cody-the-mermaid-boy. And their teacher Mrs. Nelson doesn't pay any mind to her plot irrelevant female students.

A shame really, could've done with a quick easy hi-hi Bechdel, but don't let this detract from your enjoyment of a throwback DCOM *merman emoji*
