Watched the little mermaid remake with the kids I babysit for. Don't have many opinions on the film as a whole but damn you were right those leads have CHEMISTRY

They doooooooooo! The chemistry is so real. It is 100 pct. the reason it is my favourite of the disney live action remakes (not that the competition is steep given how generally underwhelming the live action remakes are, but y'know).

If you redo a landmark animated film, you gotta give me some of that heat, some of that tension that is one of the few things that animated film struggle to convey quite as well as flesh and blood actors do.

And boy do they deliver. They're that kind of illustrious kind of cinema couple that actually look like they're having fun with each other. The section of the film where they bond and go on their little date is my jam.

The pregnant pauses. The staring. The way they completely short circuit when they touch in any proper way. The way Jonah Hauer King just absolutely towers over teeny tiny Halle Bailey. I'm obsessed. They look so good together.

Thiiiis! This shit here. Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Only thing that makes me sad is that they're in a PG film, because they're acting peak horny teen pining. That electric, I barely know how to manage how to be in your presence, but I cannot bear to be away from you either.

I want to see what it would look like if they'd been allowed to turn up the dial.

Eric hugging Ariel before kissing her will always be remembered by me because that’s such a vulnerable moment.

Imagine sitting there thinking you’ll never see the love of your life again and then the next thing you know she’s right in front of you. You can’t think You can’t even breathe or process the fact that she’s really there. The only thing you can do is pull her into a hug just to feel her.

I think despite their many similarities, the live action Ariel and Eric are pretty different in several ways. Eric takes being royalty much more seriously in that he wants to actually solve his kingdom’s problems, not run away from those problems like Ariel does. This difference would absolutely test their relationship.

They’re like Alex/Henry in Red, White, and Royal Blue. One wants out of politics and the other wants in.

listen if the little mermaid 2023 did anything right it was ariel and eric... they were already a good couple in the original but fleshing him out and making him drawn to the ocean in a parallel to ariel being drawn to land is so good. and kind of increasing that human vs merfolk tension to make it this romeo & juliet love story. like sorry they kind of slayed there. eric sees ariel turn back into a mermaid in front of him and all he does is hold her tighter. they're both gigantic nerds. he's a foot taller than her. it's incredible.

Rating: E

Pairing: Ariel/Eric

Summary:

Far away from the formality at court, there are new sights, new dances and new words to be discovered with her husband. Ariel makes proper use of all of it.

ARIEL AND ERIC ARE FINALLY TRULY TOGETHER... AT LAST!!! The Little Mermaid (1989)

[dearest-alexander]

THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn't understand Eric's fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there's no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must've felt alone for years until, well, her. They're twin souls. I'm gonna sob in the corner real quick.

AND

This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon 'till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library. like a fucking gentleman. 

A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.
