This One Small Detail You Totally Missed From 'The Little Mermaid' Is Mind-Blowing

Of the millions of movies that have ever been made, only a fraction have been able to achieve mass popularity and recognition that most Disney films have. Seriously, Disney is a giantin the film world, and one of its greatest creations HAS to be The Little Mermaid. Released in 1989, The Little Mermaid has ultimately become one of Walt Disney's best moments, mainly because of great characterization, an amazing storyline, beautiful animation and incredible performances from the voice actors. I'm sure, like me, you've seen it a million times – but I bet you never noticed THIS!

Remember when Ariel is staying in the home of Prince Eric?

Before the two fall madly in love, they share a dinner together...

The dinner is mostly spent with Ariel awkwardly trying to fit in.

But luckily with the help of the servants, Ariel is able to dress appropriately and catch the eye of Eric.

But did you notice something about the way she was dressed?

Take a close look at the dress she is wearing.

Does it look familiar?

It should...

The dress is a combination of EVERY single dress worn by the Disney princesses before Ariel.

The puffy shoulders are from Snow White's dress.

The pink material comes from Cinderella's mother's dress.

But that's not all...

The skirt also comes from Cinderella.

Talk about having more than one influence!

And the sleeves and neck line come from Princess Aurora's dress in Sleeping Beauty!
