Maybe not, but you have to admit, it IS odd that they'd just "coincidentally" model that mermaid after Ariel. It's not like she was a redhead in the original tale. If anything, she was blonde, or at least dark-haired. It seems to be a bit too deliberate, especially when it's not like they had the characters match the Disney versions exactly (Robin Hood, for example, was a human, while in the animated version, he was a fox, and Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella didn't exactly look much like their Disney counterparts. The Ugly Stepsisters were also radically different, where they took "ugly" to basically mean they were drag queens, and even had different names).
