The way I sobbed
"Isn't this great? The salty sea air. The wind blowing on your face.
Perfect day to be at sea!" -Prince Eric,1987
🎼🌊🧜🏾♀️
The emotions in his voice, that dimple, his windswept curls, and that damn shirt blowing in the wind 🥲
🎶 What would I do to see you smiling at me 🎶
Nothing baby girl, nothing. That prince has been yours since you saved his drowning a$$.

🎶And you’re finally real, here beside me.🎶
“The Kiss” (the score in this scene) started with “Wild Uncharted Waters” an ode dedicated in finding her. Then it ended with “Part Of Your World” thus, telling us that she is now part of his world. I just realized that their songs are titled:
“Wild Uncharted Waters” (the sea where she lives) “Part of your World” (the above world where he lives)

The One Where a Prince is Kneeling
Just like Ariel with her grotto, the library has been Eric’s heart. Everything he treasured, longed and dreamed of were there. And yet, the heart-breaking, “Nobody usually comes in here.” which, reading between the lines could mean nobody tries to see me, really see me.
He’s been longing for someone to understand him. He was alone, craving for connection, friendship (see how he interacts with the crew until Grimsby pulled him away) but due to his rank and his radical beliefs, he was isolated- which was the last thing he wanted.
But then, this curious and quiet woman suddenly barged in his life library and was actually interested in what he has to say. Even encouraged it. Time flew into the night, he lit the candles as the woman pulled out various trinkets for him to explain. And he happily obliged, even kneeling on the floor beside her to keep up.
I therefore conclude that that night at the library was probably the best conversation Eric had ever had.
I’m in my Ariel x Eric brainrot and
I can’t stop thinking of this moment during ‘FOR THE FIRST TIME’. The camera angles and direction, Ariel’s anticipation. Eric was practically sprinting towards the room. Halle’s singing. Them lyrics, the up and down melody.
Thank you Rob, thank you Alan, thank you Lin, thank you Halle, thank you Jonah. I’m crying.
Eric was the last one to jump off the ship-
Even though he was the one to yell, “Lifeboat! Abandon Ship!” When everyone’s panicking and scrambling to get off, where was he????
I’m guessing that that man was checking every crew and making sure that no one’s left behind.
I don’t know what else to tell you, but that man is THE fucking Disney prince. (That’s not to say that I didn’t love the other Disney princes– I do. Eric’s just at the top of that list right now.)

They really thought they’re never gonna be with each other ever again.
remember when stupid racists kept saying the little mermaid live action would flop and yet here it is hitting $500 million worldwide (to be clear i don’t care about disney making money, i’m just so happy for halle’s success and racists crying about it lmao)
idc what anyone says, jonah was not only the perfect person to play prince eric, but also the perfect person to sing wild uncharted waters for the film! the fact that he doesn’t have a traditional or trained musical theatre voice simply added to the emotions of the song and where it fell in the story! the rawness! the longing! the passion! the desperation! the absolute british-ness of how he sings it! the way he emphasizes certain words and phrases! i have yet to hear a cover that captures all of those things the way jonah did in the movie! and i hope you’re there! in the open air! there’s no map ooor COMpass to guiiiide me, no! time may change the shoreline, but TIME will not chaaaange meeeeeh! if it takes my life, i will FINally find you aaaagain!
