*SPOILERS FOR THE LITTLE MERMAID!!*

So many things to love about this movie, but how Ariel and Eric were written in particular was so good!! Ariel and Eric both having a collections of the other’s world (Ariel’s father destroying her collection and everyone telling her she doesn’t need that junk vs Eric telling her “no one’s really been in here”) and them bonding over it !! Eric figuring out Ariel’s name, a name that is literally written in the stars (kicking my feet n giggling), Eric being adopted and out of place and drawn to the sea (where he “came” from) vs Ariel feeling misplaced and isolated for her curiosity regarding humans and being drawn to land, a statue of Eric in the grotto vs a figurine of “his little mermaid” in his studies (sobbing fr), Ariel and Eric both being scorned by their parents from doing the things they love out of fear for their safety but it’s also that same curiosity that allowed their parents to find love and humanity in the other, UNCHARTED WATERS????? Be so for real y’all chefs kiss, Ariel being able to save Eric from watching him in the beginning of the movie, Ariel and Eric dancing and just having a good time with the people, Ursula making it so that Ariel forgot about the kiss which made the moments between her and Eric so real!! Halle’s voice!!!! THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE !! Disney live actions have never really hit for me and always felt like cash grabs, but this was so cute and I would highly recommend watching!!!
