211.3 million is still a huge amount of money made in the box office during the late 1980s, especially at a time when Disney's future was uncertain at best, and when Disney didn't even expect The Little Mermaid to be that much of a success (and believe me, if they expected it to make that much money, they would not have delayed releasing the VHS version of The Black Cauldron at the last minute). It still works under that principle. And for the record, I never said Ariel and her film made "billions", I said she made an unexpectedly large amount of money.
