Yeah... it's a strange detail for them to explicitly mention, especially since it has no bearing on the plot. Apart from perhaps adding to her character's "angsty teen" persona.

Rewatched The Great Mouse Detective last night. It still holds up.
Of all the Disney movies that should have gotten a sequel, this is one of them.

We need to start an instagram protest to replace Pinocchio with the Great Mouse Detective.

Too small. They should have re-made the GotG tower into Big Ben for a thrill ride.

In all seriousness, there should have been a Black Cauldron castle walk thru like Tokyo got.

14 and 16 today are not the same as they were when these tales were first written. Don't forget you had young teenagers who were rulers of Egypt. Everything is realative to its historical time and place and you cant look back at it with the eyes of today and judge it for something its not.It is indeed an irrelevant and disturbing plot point...
Then again, so is the fact that Snow White was supposed to be... 14!
True yet her age has nothing to do with plot of the movie. Just really a head scratcher on why they explicitly state her age. In others words they had nothing to gain by making her 16.
Maybe they thought that the her relationship with her dad wouldn’t be believable if she were 18 and “could do whatever she wants.” Of course that wouldn’t be true for my family. I’m 37 and still scared of my Dad.

They are keeping true to originally story. it doesnt hurt it or take away from it to me.
That’s just the thing they aren’t really keeping true to the original story. 95% of that stuff in the movie is not in the book (I don’t think) so it’s just an odd detail to carry over being that it has nothing to do with the plot.

Then why doesn't Ariel die at the end?

whatever the reason the age really doesnt matter. its a fictional tale
i disagree. What if they said she was 12?
That fact that it’s a fictional movie with singing crabs and fish make it more of a head scratcher for me. If it was a historically accurate period piece that would be different. Anyway just a miscellaneous thought and something that strikes me as an odd/ unnecessary choice. I’m not asking for them to ban the Little Mermaid ride at DCA. Well not for this reason anyway. Haha.
