Plot Adjustment[edit]

When it says that Ursula attempts to attack Eric, but inadvertently kills Flotsam and Jetsam in the process, what actually happened was Ariel caused Ursula to inadvertently kill them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.112.98.119 (talk) 18:23, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Setting[edit]

I see that the previous "near the coast of Norway" was removed from the plot after I highlighted that there was no source supporting such a location. I agree with the decision, but I would also point out that, according to the official franchise Disney Princess, Ariel's kingdom is situated in the Mediterranean Sea,^[1] and moreover Eric's kingdom was indicated to be in Italy^[2] (according to the DVD commentary, directors wanted Ariel to emerge from the deep waters and find an invitingly warm and sunny land). Should this info be added to the plot, since it comes from Disney's princesses franchise? Ninahi8 (talk) 20:34, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
