The TRUTH About Ariel’s Mother | Disney Film Theory

[@carolinedisalvatore9768]

One thing about Ariel’s character that I’ve realized is that she’s a “regular old fish out of water” as she says to her daughter Melody in Return to the Sea but she’s not really insecure about what makes her different from her family and people. Yes her father disapproves of her adventuring and fascination with the human world and her sisters are also like “oh why can’t she be like the rest of us” but other than that Ariel’s not ostracized or insecure about herself. She’s never like “oh is there something wrong with me?” Even in the Little Mermaid TV series we see that Ariel is so unapologetically herself. She’s like yeah I like this stuff and I’m not gonna apologize for liking it I just want others most notably My father to understand me. Sorta like Luz in The Owl House.

[@iamjb7254]

ehh beg to differ to a degree, in the beginning of “Part of Your World” was her contemplating if something was wrong with her so even though she wasn’t phased much by their opinions it was kind of clear that her not fitting in was something she thought about

Interesting comparison except I don’t think king triton ever had one those big moments like Camilla did in season 3

According to Return to the Sea, Melody was the first child born to a human and a mermaid. So for this to be the case, it would have to be a secret.

[@YellowBear-kx1ff]

There’s a book called Prince of Song and Sea and in it, Eric’s mother is named Queen Eleanora, so maybe that’s still true in the remake and maybe Selina (yes, that’s how you spell it) is his maternal aunt.

Great theory - but I'm going to gues that Eric will still be a Prince in his own right; wouldn't it be simpler if his original mother passed away and his father, the King found and fell in love with a mysterious women he met..on a beach? with a foggy memory? it would be a great nod to the original little mermaid to make the love story; Eric wouldn't be related to Ariel by blood, would still be a prince, and Ariel would still be a princess by birth.

Plus, Triton is the name of the largest moon of Neptune, named for the Roman version of Poseidon. Full circle 🌕

[@aaaah540]

I think you put more thought into this remake than Disney ever will.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Considering Triton is from Greek Mythology as the son of Poseidon (and cousin to Disney’s other Greek protagonist Hercules), it’s likely that Athena is actually the Greek goddess Athena. This would actually make some sense in the mythology, after Athena is born from Zeus’s forehead Zeus gives her to Triton to raise (probably so Hera won’t murder her, let’s be honest here Hera is not nice), which he does as a foster sister to his first three daughters who he had with his first wife Libya. It seems like in The Little Mermaid universe he and Athena eventually fall in love, marry and have 4 more daughters.

[@barbiquearea]

But we've seen Poseidon's son Triton as well as Athena in the animated series Hercules and they look nothing to their Little Mermaid namesakes.

[@RinaNightshade]

Don't forget Athena was born fully grown and in a full suit of armor, if i remember correctly. So no need to be hidden to be raised anywhere.

[@kevinthorns030]

Also technically she would be having a relationship with her nephew and also Athena and Poseidon didn’t really get along in Greek mythology

[@sikujacob4556]

@@kevinthorns030 That's pretty much Greek mythology in general. There was no limit to the Greek gods.

[@sikujacob4556]

And in another universe, Athena isn't killed by humans, but sacrifices herself to save Zeus from one of his sons, Kratos. I wonder how Triton would feel about that. Would he be mad at? Kratos, because he killed her, or Zeus, because he should've been killed.

[@EdmundSnow98]

This is a great theory and would definitely make this live-action adaptation more worth it if true. I'm not excited about the movie itself, but Halle Bailey's singing is terrific, so I'll probably see this when it gets to Disney+. There are too many other movies coming out this summer that I'm much more excited for to waste money on something that I don't think I'll enjoy.

If they are going down the Greek mythological route, the parents should be Poseidon and Amphitrite (If you want them to be the grandparents then Ariel’s mother still wouldn’t be Athena as his consort was called Libya)

If her name is Athena, then I think we have to assume it's someone else named Athena, and not the actual goddess Athena.

@@PhilBagels Also in the animated Hercules show, we see Poseidon's son Triton and he looks like a swamp monster rather than a merman.

[@lucyhawkins917]

@@PhilBagels I would assume so but it seems like an odd choice given that people will assume it means the goddess or at the very least a different kind of goddess. Ariel would be related to the gods anyway so it seems like it is too easy for her mother to be a god to not clear that up.

Original Little Mermaid animated film will only become more popular when the Trainwreck of the live action is released.

[@AshleysAdvice]

I don't know if you're just not counting the sequels or what, but there's a prequel that it literally tells you exactly what happened to Ariel's mum. So for the live action they could just take parts from that film and combine them with the original and it would make for a more in-depth story and more heartbreaking one, if you don't remember what happened in the prequel, it was land people who killed Ariel's mum, possibly pirates and that's why Tridon is so harsh on his kids about going up to land especially around boats.

Then we could FINALLY switch to a new movie that I would eventually be able to quote word for word because I would hear it so often.
