Say I wanted to create a class presentation on animation and how its changed, I get that using copyrighted images probably isn't allowed for an slideshow, but can I mention the names of cartoons in the speech. Like, can I talk about 'the little mermaid' or what?

Dude if it's a class presentation I think it's completely fine, unless your teacher has specifically stated otherwise. Be sure to cite/credit your sources properly, but as long as you do that, you're free to use/mention as much copyrighted material as you want for a school exercise.
Copyright infringement really only becomes a big deal if you're making money, and you didn't ask permission. So if you were a major filmmaker, your movie was making millions, and you used clips from The Little Mermaid, you might get sued.
You could post your class presentation on YouTube for the public to see, FULL of copyrighted material, and the worst-case scenario is that you'll get a letter asking you to take it down.

you can totally use portions of a copyrighted work for that

Copyright
Unless you're doing it for profit or targeting a large amount of people, like thousands, nothing to worry about. Copyright isn't the big bad boogeyman hanging over everyone.
