Since the 1989 premier of Disney's animated feature The Little Mermaid, we've been a part of Ariel's world. It's been 26 years since that movie came out, but the undersea princess still resonates with generations of fans. She's inspired many cosplayers. Here are some of the best, such as this Hipster Ariel.
