There is no accepted “science” behind the reproduction of merpeople and Triton is basically a demigod. He could have zapped them all from the tines of his scepter for all we know.

[@Riprake]

Technically, his daughters' different hair colors in the original movie meant they couldn't all be both Triton and Athena's daughters either (since the gene for red hair is recessive, among other things), but I just figured the merfolk reproduce via laying and fertilizing eggs, and that this makes surrogate parenting and adoption for childless couples a cinch: people down there probably say "It's not cheating if you're just passing eggs around to be fertilized." So, y'know, maybe he *did* have just one wife, albeit also a bunch of surrogates.

Well, it’s no “Splash: The Musical”! 😂 For those who don’t get the joke, it’s the name of a fictional Broadway musical (albeit based on a real 1984 film) that was produced by the fictional Oliver Putnam in the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building”.

I don't know if Disney realized that by King Triton having many diversified children, we can all assume he had many diversified wives. Or were some of the kids adopted.

It’s possible, but then again, the 2008 Broadway show had Triton’s daughters be multiracial and no one seemed to question that.

Fishes do not reproduce like humans. I understand that the eggs are fertilised in the water. It's easy for me to imagine that Triton used his magic to have the fertilised eggs resemble the people of the seas that his daughter would rule over.

I mean, we all know the only reason they race swapped. Ariel was because they knew the movie was going to be so bad. They could just accuse everyone of being racist for not liking it. And if you think people are actually going to see the new snow white, after spent months trashing the original. Yeah that’s not happening.

[@RisingUnderdog]

It's funny how race swapping only happens in one direction, too.

[@darthmarvin247]

-"They could just accuse everyone of being racist for not liking it." They are not accusing everyone who didn't like of being racists, only the ones that hated it since before it was released because of the casting choice. Honestly the racists don't need much help showing their colors. If a character looking like the original was so important to them they would be throwing fits about the weird looking "realistic" animals instead. Particularly Sebastian.
