13 Disney Movie Theories That Will Blow Your Mind

Hello, Cousins!

This theory is probably one of the easiest Disney theories to believe. There is strong evidence that Ariel from The Little Mermaidand Hercules from Hercules are first-cousins once removed. In fact, the evidence is so strong that there is almost no doubting it. Think about it: both of their fathers are gods. Hercules's father is Zeus. Zeus’ brother is Poseidon, and Poseidon’s son is Triton. Ariel’s father is King Triton. It is unsure whether or not this phenomenon was intentional by Disney or if it was just a happy accident. Either way, it is a fun discovery for Disney fans to make.
