Where does it take place?

I know that at the very least Beauty and the Beast WAS set in a real-world country/kingdom. France. They even explicitly mentioned it by name twice (as if the peppering of various French phrases wasn't enough to hint at it's location). Oh, and probably Mulan, Pocahontas, and The Princess and the Frog as well, those explicitly took place in China, pre-Colonial America (and in the case of the sequel, Great Britain), and New Orleans, Louisiana. If that map in Frozen Fever is to be believed, we probably can safely say that Arendelle is indeed in Norway.
So far as The Little Mermaid, if the episode Metal Fish is to be believed, it's most likely near Denmark. -

The Disney animated films are not supposed to be historical replicas, but there are definite time period and country/cultural influences. Even Pocahontas takes some liberties.
The human world is Danish, but the sea world is Caribbean or tropical waters. Maybe a way of emphasizing two worlds / Ariel fitting into a foreign world.
A Danish colony in the islands that someone said above would make sense though.
