Well, it's nowhere as weird as the Esmerelda mug being listed as Aladdin. Wink

If you think about it from the perspective of a person who maybe just casually watches Disney movies, the mix-up is easily understandable. Especially since they made Eric's skin too dark.

Eric skin is dark. When he found Ariel on the beach after she transformed into a human. She fell into his arms. Eric's skin dark. and Ariel's super light.

He's not that dark. Ariel, I'd say, is ultra-fair, while Eric is just fair.

Ah, this shot?

He does look a tad darker there, but I think that's an aberration - and he's still nowhere near dark as Aladdin.

Since when does Aladdin have blue eyes? I suppose that there really must be poor people who actually believe that is Aladdin and buy all that. That's just wrong, to trick them.

You and I know Aladdin doesn't have blue eyes, but someone who saw the movie maybe once, twice, or not at all (and only knows the characters through online research he/she may not have done) probably wouldn't really know the difference.

There's no 'tricking' here - it's just a mistake.

Oh, YEAH! That mug was funny. Laughing

Well the doll looks a little like Aladdin except his eyes are blue. That doll doesn't look like Eric at all, but its definitely not Aladdin.

It the disney Park version of their The Little Mermaid Wedding Set. When I saw it. I thought he looks like a very young version of John Travolta.

Mmm... John Travolta...

Personally, I tend to think of Prince Eric as looking more like Kirk Douglas.
