Line 50:
*** Though considering that he also told a crab to "Fight like a man" he may just be a [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
== The little mermaid was based on [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' Octopus's Garden. ==
Or at least parts of it, Ariel's cave sound very similar as how [[The Other Wiki]] describes an [[wikipedia:Octopuschr(27)s Garden#Conception|Octopus's Garden]], and also both Under The Sea and Octopus's Garden sing about the joy of living under the sea, free from labor and dancing around all the day. Hell, the first line of Octopus's Garden is "I'd like to be under the sea".
** [[Jossed]]. The Disney film was actually based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same title, which was written in 1836.
** Although the soundtrack album of the sequel does include that song, sung by Sebastian!
== Vanessa was the original form of Ursula, was Triton's sister, but her use of dark magic corrupted her and turned her into an octopod. ==.
If you really think about it, it wouldn't be all that implausible. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Ursula was in fact Triton's sister like some sources say. Well, why is she half octopus instead of a regular mermaid like her brother? Her dark magic corrupted her. Before Ursula had eight legs, she had a fin just like Triton. She wanted the power to rule the ocean but couldn't because Triton was on the throne. Because he had more power then her, she looked to darker arts for more power. The best way was to turn the merfolk who came to her for help into those slug things. Every deal she made gave her some sort of edge. While she got magic and the potential to over throw Triton, it corrupted her and turned her into an octopod over time. Triton caught on quickly and promptly banished her. Since she's been isolated for a good twenty some years (if Triton's daughter's ages by the first movie are any indication) then she's been collecting more victims so by the time of the movie, Ursula has enough power to overthrow Triton. She just waited for the perfect opportunity. Also, look at Vanessa's appearance: she may not look a lot like Ariel, but she looks like some of Ariel's sisters. Compare the shape of her face to Aquata and Andrina and her hair to Attina and Arista. Quite the similarities between them, right? It would make sense that an aunt would be similar to her nieces in some ways, wouldn't it?
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* Basically, King Trident had many wives and sired daughters from each one, though only one (Ariel's mother) was officially considered queen. This explains why all his daughters look so different from one another. While for the most part, he treats his daughters equally, he favors Ariel to some extent because she's the daughter of the official queen, his favorite wife.
