What's the meaning of the sentence on Ariel's shirt?
In Ralph Breaks The Internet, in one scene, Ariel wears the t-shirt pictured below.
It says:
Gizmos &
Whooz-Its &
Whats-Its &
Snarfblats &
Dinglehoppers
Being not native speaker I'm having an hard time understanding its meaning.
May someone explain?

These are references to Ariel's treasures in The Little Mermaid.
Ariel has collected many things, each representing a special memory, adventure or a new discovery. She calls them her gadgets, gizmos, whosits, whatsits, and thingamabobs.
A Wikia
The Dinglehopper (a.k.a. the fork) is an artifact from the sunken ship which Ariel and Flounder explore early in The Little Mermaid. It is in fact a fairly ordinary object, but Ariel prizes the dinglehopper, as it is an artifact of the human world.
The Snarfblatt was a smoking pipe but Ariel was told....
[Scuttle shows Ariel and Flounder a tobacco pipe]
Scuttle: This, I haven't seen this in years. This is wonderful! A banded, bulbous snarfblatt.
Ariel and Flounder: Oh!
Scuttle: Now, the snarfblatt dates back to prehistorical times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music. Allow me. [blows into it, only to have seaweed and water come out]

For the benefit of non-native speakers, it might be helpful to point out that gadget and gizmo are both words used for mechanical things when we don't know their real name (or purpose), whosit, whatsit, and thingamabob are words used for anything whose name we don't know or can't think of right now, and dinglehopper and snarfblatt are nonsense words made up for the movie.

It might also help to clarify: Ariel discovers human items under the sea, which she brings to Scuttle, a seagull, for identification. Scuttle doesn't really know what they are, so he invents names and uses for the items, because he knows that Ariel can't verify what he says. Probably he just likes her attention.

Also, to expand on @1006a 's comment- The word "whosit" is understood by native speakers as a contraction of the question "Who is it?" (or possibly "Whose is it?"). Similarly, "whatsit" is a contraction of "What is it?". "Thingamabob", AFAIK, doesn't have any particular expansion other than including the words "thing" and "bob" (see also "bauble").
