- Prince Eric finally gets a ‘Little Mermaid’ character arc – and his own ballad! “The Little Mermaid” still centers on Ariel’s yearning to explore the surface world, her dastardly deal with sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy) and the blossoming romance between Ariel and Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King).
- Ariel and Eric have a chance to fall in love before he needs to ‘Kiss the Girl’ Eric and Ariel spend a good amount of time sharing their sense of exploration and adventure – plus just get to know each other as he shows her his landscape where she’s a fish out of water – before the big romantic tune “Kiss the Girl.”
- Halle Bailey’s Ariel gets a second solo showstopper. The young mermaid has her biggest musical moment early on, with the powerful ballad “Part of Your World.”
- Melissa McCarthy's updated Ursula is a member of Ariel’s family. Marshall wanted to “raise the stakes” of the story whenever he could, which is why Ursula in the new film isn't just some random nefarious villainess trying to rule the undersea kingdom but actually Triton’s sister (and Ariel’s aunt).

- Merpeople & Humans Reconcile. While the animated The Little Mermaid never explains the divide between humans and merpeople, the live-action one does. Their conflict is due to the two cultures not understanding one another.
- Ariel & Eric Leave To Explore The Uncharted Regions’ The previous animated version of the movie sees Ariel and Eric marry and sail off together in the end, and while the live-action version discusses them marrying, it isn’t made explicit whether they’re married yet or not in the final moments of the film.
- Ariel Kills Ursula, Not Eric. During the 1989 animated movie, the big battle against Ursula happens in the middle of the ocean because Eric’s wedding to Vanessa is actually happening on a ship at sea.
- Vanessa And Eric Only Plan To Announce Their Engagement In One Day. Disney Princess movies are known for their relationships moving very quickly. True love’s kiss between two characters means they are suddenly ready to get married.
- Ariel's Motivations. In the animated The Little Mermaid, Ariel's motivations for leaving the sea are tied to her love for Eric. Even though she is curious about the human world, these curiosities are eclipsed by her infatuation with the sailor she saw while investigating his ship.
- The Ending To The Story. The animated The Little Mermaid ends like most fairytales, with the prince saving the princess and slaying the villain. The live-action The Little Mermaid flips this narrative and doesn't let Eric take all the glory as the film's only hero.
- Ariel's Friends. Ariel has many friends in the animated The Little Mermaid, and the live-action movie gives her even more friends to rely on. Eric's mother, Queen Selina, becomes a friend to Ariel as she gets to know the woman who will become her mother-in-law.
- Eric Has More Depth. Disney princes haven't received as much attention as their princess counterparts, with many having little backstory. The Little Mermaid rectifies this as it gives Eric a backstory and explains why he wants to explore the ocean and not stay in the castle.
Feb 23, 2023 · A live-action remake of Disney's animated movie from 1989, which was based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale from 1837, The Little Mermaid will provide a new take on the character of Ariel.
