My head-canon of the Disney family bloodline.
My theory is that Ariel eventually becomes the Queen in Cinderella, while Prince Charming — whose real name I think is Prince Ferdinand — is actually the second child of Ariel and Prince Eric, meaning Eric later becomes the King of Cinderella’s kingdom. I also think Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora could be Eric’s parents. One clue is the portrait hanging in the dining room during Ariel and Eric’s dinner scene, which really resembles Aurora and Phillip.
Another part of the theory involves the wedding scene between Prince Eric and Vanessa in The Little Mermaid. A lot of people believe the King and Duke from Cinderella appear in the background, but I honestly think the “King” there is actually an older Prince Phillip after becoming king. To me, he looks more like a mixture of Prince Phillip and King Hubert rather than Cinderella’s King.
If you combine the features and personalities of both King Hubert and King Stefan, I think their grandchildren would probably end up looking and acting a lot like Prince Eric, which makes the theory fit even more.
I also think King Arthur could be the father of Princess Eilonwy. Then Eilonwy and Taran later become the parents of Queen Leah, while Snow White and Prince Florian become the parents of King Stefan. That would connect The Sword in the Stone, The Black Cauldron, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Cinderella into one huge royal family timeline.
I know some people think this theory can’t work because of the timeline everyone assumes these movies take place in. But honestly, what if all of these events really did happen in the same universe? Fashion trends repeat themselves all the time in real history, so similar clothing styles across the movies wouldn’t necessarily disprove the connection.
