And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

i just wanna talk about that shot towards the end of part of your world because yes the shot of animated ariel singing her heart out and reaching through a tiny crevice before she sinks to the bottom of her grotto is pretty popular, but i can't get over the fact that in the live action film, they chose to zoom out and show us ariel already on the ocean floor in the dark, the only light illuminating her shining down from up above, as if to represent that this is it, this is as close as she can get, no matter how far or how much she yearns and wants and burns, and it's just THIS is how you do a remake, you take something from the original and add to it to make it even better

The fact that Jonah’s scared of heights, allergic to dogs, and terrible at swimming and still gave us that Prince Eric!!
Kudos to you my man

I’ve been thinking a lot about this scene and why it had such an impact on me (and apparently everybody else lol).
I think it’s because this gesture has so many layers in its meaning.
From what I’ve seen, most people interpret this as a sign of protection against Vanessa/Ursula. But I only partly agree with that.
See, this all happens BEFORE Vanessa turns back into Ursula, so Eric doesn’t know that she’s a witch yet (even though he probably suspects already that Vanessa is dangerous).
So the immediate threat he sees is not Vanessa.
It’s the other humans.
Everyone backs away from Ariel, looking frightened, screaming, Erics own mother is horrified by what just happened. All they’ve known their whole lives are tales about blood thirsty mermaids tricking sailors with their voices just to drown them for the sheer fun of it (so to see Ariels voice materialized must be even more terrifying). They are scared of her.
So Eric not backing away and holding Ariel even tighter sends a clear message:
I am not afraid of her. And neither should you be.
So yes, this gesture is, among other things, a sign of protection. Protection from his own kind. He stands by her AGAINST his peers. He stands by her side, alone, against every single person he’s known his whole life. Don’t you dare touch her.
But it’s also alliance. Understanding. Acceptance.
I am not afraid of you.
I accept you.
I’m with you.
And that’s why this scene is so much more impactful than it is in the original.

Jonah holding Halle Prince Eric holding Ariel
Jonah and Halle recreated this image without even realizing. They were truly born to play Eric and Ariel. I live for these parallels!

We're all talking about the hat that Ariel picked out for Eric but why aren't we talking about this hat
