It was a bit hard to figure out the time period when Little Mermaid took place,
people were betting it was somewhere between 1600' and 1900'. Since it was
a huge span, I thought I could try to look for some clues throughout the movie.
I came around a specific shot of the townspeople and the town itself and
noticed some things. Firstly some women were wearing bonnets which
were a specific type of hat worn from middle ages to late 19th century.
Some women also wore wide hats. Secondly, people thought that it took
place in the 1890 specifically because of the large and puffed sleeves.
But, since the structure of the skirt didn't fit that period, I assumed that
it was a bit earlier. The overall look that I saw in the movie, with the dress
that is coming a bit of on the shoulders, big puffed sleeves, bonnets and other
type of hats that women were wearing , I came
to the conclusion that this took place somewhere in 1830's or 1840's.
Overall, very romantic looking period I would say, tho I am not the fan
of most hairstyles, but the dresses are cute :D (Big Grin)

PC. I also prefer the original and don't think that her pink dress was ugly.
Sure if it was the same color as her tail, that would be cute, still, there's
nothing wrong with pink dress.
