Everything you thought you knew was LIES.
We all remember The Little Mermaid with fondness, right?
It has all the elements of a great Disney film; action, drama, romance, an evil Sea Witch and some classic songs.
However, The Huffington Post have published a fan theory that American woman, Mary Falls, posted to her Facebook page, that could ruin everything you thought you knew.
“After 26 years, today I stumbled on a plot hole in “The Little Mermaid” that will haunt me for the rest of my days. This changes everything,” Mary wrote.

We all know the story of The Little Mermaid, right? If it’s been a couple of years decades since you’ve seen it, here’s a refresher:
Sixteen-year-old Princess Ariel, mermaid daughter of merman, King Triton, is completely dissatisfied with underwater life and dreams of living on the land. Ariel and her friend, Sebastian, the talking crab, go to ocean’s surface where she spies Prince Eric and falls instantly in love. His ship starts to burn so she saves him. Ariel sings to him but leaves as soon as he begins to wake up and he vows to find whoever it was that was singing to him.

This is lame. If she wrote him a letter saying hey the girl you are falling in love with who sounds exactly like the girl that saved you is actually an evil witch who stole my voice and you can save me if you just decide to fall in love with me instead and kiss me... How crazy would she sound seriously - Even in a cartoon that's already full of imaginative, unrealistic plot lines. Yea I know I'm a bit too intense about this
I still think the crab and the fish had something going on
