"Sometimes an Easter Egg is just an Easter Egg" isn't good enough. Sorry, but as impressive as your research into historical dressing style is (seriously, it's impressive), Rapunzel and Eugene are in the movie. And canon always wins. Of course, none of this is significant at all, so it doesn't really matter. haha
P.S. Try asking the people behind The Pixar Theory about the significance of Easter Eggs. lol
P.P.S. Yes, I know Hans is in BH6, but there's an explanation for it, I'm sure. hahaha
You have provided exactly zero evidence for why this Easter Egg is different from any other Easter Egg in multitudes of Disney animated films. Seriously: Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are UNDERWATER in the Little Mermaid--are you going to call that canon?!
You do know Elsa crafted that dress herself, right? She doesn't care whether or not it is "historically accurate" or "fashionable". She's just Elsa being Elsa.
Satiricalifragilistic grew up during the Disney Renaissance, and The Little Mermaid was the first movie she ever saw in theaters at age 3. Her mother flatly refused to let her leave the theater when Ursula got huge and terrifying, and maybe that explains her troubled psyche.
While she'll admit to being an inveterate nitpicker, she firmly believes in loving a piece of art even while criticizing it, and in the importance of engaging critically with what she loves. She has special contempt for anyone who tries to claim the politics in Disney films don't matter because "they're just movies," because she knows exactly how much the Disney Canon influenced her little gradeschool self—for good and for ill!
She loves art, design, music, dancing, movies from Hollywood's Golden Age, and British comedy...expect a lot of these to turn up in her reviews and mashups!
