Notes and references
- ↑ The production staff mentioned that they used Southern Mediterranean European nations for the inspiration of The Little Mermaid, and flamingos are seen in the lagoon in the film, which are plentiful in Southern European countries. However, Eric also mentioned a kingdom of Flowerhaven when talking to Grimsby about a failed political marriage that was implied to have occurred recently, with the name being indicative of Northern European countries such as Scandinavia, and the TV series and Return to the Sea both featured near-polar areas with Atlantica being implied to be located near Greenland. In addition, Hans Christian Andersen, aside from writing The Little Mermaid in real life, had also been seen at Eric's Kingdom's docks telling the children about his encounter with Ariel in the ending of Metal Fish, thus strongly implying that its location was actually in Denmark, not the Mediterranean.
