It is indeed an irrelevant and disturbing plot point...
Then again, so is the fact that Snow White was supposed to be... 14!
Forgot to say especially an easy fix as she looks more 21 than 16. All they literally had to do was just not say her age.

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...

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.
