Check out this video by Youtuber "The Fangirl": www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di3R76n2OGgI think this theory is very fascinating- it ties into a lot of the theories we've all had and discussed about when and where TLM takes place with some new ideas about Eric's family and a surprising revelation that would be really crazy if true! |

That hadn't really occurred to me that Eric might have siblings.
And now I am really wondering where his parents are!
Surely they should have made the effort to attend his wedding, as it was long overdue, according to the dialogue.
That is, assuming they weren't so far away and Vanessa was pushing for the wedding to happen fast, so they just didn't have time to get there before the ceremony.
I would really hope that Eric isn't related to Hans!
Could it be possible there is more then one royal family in the area?
Although they imply that Hans' brothers aren't bad people like he is, so I wouldn't try to judge Hans' family by his example.
And the fact they punished him for his actions does mean they didn't approve of what he tried to do.
The placing of TLM is interesting, up til now, I hadn't really thought about where it might be, aside from close to France, given the French chef.

The placing of TLM is interesting, up til now, I hadn't really thought about where it might be, aside from close to France, given the French chef. Absolutely blew my mind! It had never occurred to me before either that the Southern Isles most likely referred to Denmark (being south of Norway). I always thought Eric was orphaned. There's a line Grimsby says during Fathom's Below in the musical (which, I know, may not actually be canon, but worth sharing): "Milord, please….enough sea-faring! You’ve got to get back to court–to honor your father’s dying wish and take up his crown!" But his mother is never mentioned, maybe she could still be out there, or maybe she died long ago like Ariel's mother did? Or perhaps his father hasn't died yet and is still on his deathbed with some possibility of recovery? In that case, if he was so ill, maybe coming to the wedding would've been difficult for him. PLUS there's this Easter Egg in The Little Mermaid at Eric's castle, there's a portrait of another royal Disney family Eric might be related to:  That area must be full of royal families- Corona is somewhere in Germany or Poland and not too far from Arendelle, as Rapunzel and Eugene make it in time for Elsa's coronation:  Lots of information to work with here! |

Well, given that Eric isn't taking up any of the traditional royal duties of leadership, I would expect that someone else is in charge and he's left to his own divertissements because he's not really needed.
Contrast Elsa, whose time is always committed to running her country, with Anna helping as much as she can.
It could also be that Eric isn't considered old enough to be in charge yet and there might be a Regent taking on those duties until they feel Eric is suitably prepared.
Even now, it's kindof a tradition that Royals serve in the military to gain some discipline.
Perhaps given his enthusiasm for the sea, Eric is a Navy officer.
The other sailors certainly wouldn't let him aid in the tacking of the vessel if he didn't have a great deal of nautical experience, because an inexperienced sailor can cause problems that might be quite severe in an emergency.
Could the painting be some kind of gift from a diplomatic meeting?
I know it was traditional in those days to gift such items as a gesture of goodwill.
Sortof like, if you have a painting of us and we have a painting of you, it's publicly showing that we know each other.
That room might even be used as a diplomatic function reception area, which would mean that those gifts are displayed there specifically for the visiting parties to comment on or acknowledge.
I always reasoned that Corona and Arendelle shared a major sealane, which is why it was easy for Rapunzel to make the trip for Elsa's coronation.
My fan theory is that Corona was the last port of call for the Arendelle Royal Ship before it was lost at sea.

Yeah saw that fangirl vid as well
The West Indes are a possibility for location of Eric's domicile as well hence Sebastain
The Hans theory makes more sense then some of the others out there (AND SOME OF THESE FAN THEORIES ARE REALLY REALLY OUT THERE)
In Broadway show Eric is 25 Ariel's AGE IS NOT mentioned And Eric HAS to marry royalty well Ariel WAS

It is implied that Sebastian is a foreigner to the kingdom of Atlantica, that he came from far away.
So if this is true, it would be evidence that TLM is quite some distance from the West Indes.
