Anyway, it was made 1989 (I was thinking older) so that is pretty young.

Actually, for the time period it's not so ridiculous.

1989? Or what period was the movie set in? I dun remember, but you're probably right that it wouldn't be unusual. Also, the creators probably never imagined anything like the Internet and over-obsessing about pop culture.

Well, the book that the Disney movie was based off of was published in 1837, according to Wikipedia.

Ok. The Disney movies are radically different from the books they're based on, but the time period does look around 1800's.

Actually, until your first reply it never really occurred to me that they were talking about the movie, I immediately thought of the book... Even thought I've never read the book wary

Actually in the book, Ariel was 15. Though you'd like to know... “ 'When you have reached your fifteenth year,' said the grand-mother, 'you will have permission to rise up out of the sea, to sit on the rocks in the moonlight, while the great ships are sailing by; and then you will see both forests and towns.' ”

In the original book she doesn't get married to the prince anyway. She dies.

This is true, she turns to sea foam, but I still thought of the book.

Its because she's mexican, the get married early.

Not that much; Aurora and Jasmine were both sixteen, and Snow White was about fourteen (though she never exactly gets married, it's just implied) But yeah. Compared to now, it's pretty damned young.
