But as others have pointed out... anyone knows it's Ariel.
So everyone should be okay with Disney's "ripoff" of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid"?

Would iconic require the character to be more original? Or is it merely a popularity thing?

I withhold my vote until further clarification.

Actually, if you go to each respective source, Aladdin is as old as 1,100 or 1,200, whereas Ariel is only 172.

Belle is 269.
