Actually, in the first draft of TLM it's told that Ursula is Ariel's aunt (Triton's sister) but apparently Disney cut it for time (or something like that). I'm very interested to see thier take on the story. Also, side note, techinically Hercules and Ariel and cousins. If they ever addressed that it would be amazing XD  At first the 'Ariel and Hercules are cousins' threw me, then I got it. Although that would be amazing if they could pull that off I just can't see it happening. Poseidon is the ruler of the ocean, according to Greek mythology and the brother of Zeus (Hercules' Father) but the ruler of Atlantica (and perhaps according to Disney's TLM, the entire ocean) and Ariel's Father is called King Triton. They could easily cross these characters over and make Triton both an Ocean God (Poseidon) hence making him the God of Thunder's brother and Ariel's Father. The reason I doubt it will happen is because I can't see them delving into Greek mythology (as much as I want them to) and they may not even feature King Triton (perhaps hopefully saving the Poseidon angle for later) @AppleTree23 despite being cut from the movie, the whole Ursula is Ariel's aunt thing is canon and official, since it was included in the Broadway version of the movie.

@Princess Alessandra I may be wrong about this, but in an episode of the Little Mermaid cartoon from the mid-90's, Triton gets turned into a tween and Ariel has to babysit him, he calls his father Poseidon, so Ariel is actually Hercules' second cousin. And tbh, I'd rather see a Hercules/Aladdin cross-over like in their respective shows when Jafar and Hades teamed up to destroy them both.

Also, I really hope they introduce Tarzan at some point. I need a man in a loincloth on this show. LBR
