#little mermaid live action

[write-to-feel]

The way he longed for the ocean as much as she longed for land. The way their longing was fulfilled in each other. The way he cared about her when he barely even knew her. The way she just wanted to talk to him. The way he said “my little mermaid.” They way she was showing him things the same way he showed her things. The way he kept telling her about all the maps like it was his favorite activity. The way he let her drive even though she was a maniac. The way he followed her through the market letting her lead the way. The way he loved the hat just cause she picked it out. The way they danced. The way he looked at her during kiss the girl. The way he hesitated even though he wanted to kiss her so bad. The way he fell so hard. The way she didn’t remember she needed the kiss so she got to be just as nervous as him. The way he wanted to just keep talking to her forever all night until Grim interrupted. The way he looked at her walking up the stairs. The way he said her name. The way he chose her after one day with her. The way he was asking for her even under Ursula’s spell. The way he ran to her when she finally showed up. The way he held her after she turned back into a mermaid. The way he went right after her. The way he chose her again even knowing the truth. The way she saved him. The way he wanted to go right back into the ocean to get her. The way she was lying on the rock staring at the castle like she’d been there all day. The way he was so relieved to see her again. The way he rested his head on hers like she brought him an endless sense of peace. The kiss. The way he got married in the same outfit he wore the whole movie. 😩😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭

Can we talk about the climax of The Little Mermaid?

I would like to point another thing out that I noticed on my rewatch.

The ship that Eric uses to shish-kebab Ursula IS the ship that Ariel is exploring in the beginning of the movie.

The ship that she explored instead of going to her musical celebration.

The ship that led her to go to the surface and get yelled at by her dad.

Her dad, who believes she should have let Eric drown because it would be "one less human (spineless savage harpooning fish-eater barbarians) to worry about."

Her dad, who understands at the end of the film that Ariel loves Eric, and was right to do so, because he just saw how Eric saved his daughter in the face of impossible odds and bear certain death, even though she's a mermaid.

It is very important that Eric save the day, USING the ship that symbolized Ariel's belief in the beauty of the human world and willingness to sacrifice and take risks to explore it.

Because it's Eric's heroism that convinces Triton that Ariel's love is as real as her beliefs about humanity. It's no longer a silly teenage girl who's lost her senses about a boy and is too naive to make the right decisions. It's a teenage girl who believed in the possibility that not all humans are barbarians, and some are worth loving--and she was right. And Triton needed to SEE THAT.

If Ariel saves herself, all that would prove to Triton is that she can handle the consequences of her own actions. But if Eric saves Ariel, it proves to Triton that humans can be good and Ariel's choice to love one was real and true.

That is very important. And a pretty amazing way to show it, having Eric stab Ursula with the shipwreck.

🧜‍♀️ Little Mermaid spoilers

I love how Ursula is able to hypnotize Eric to marry her, but like, only barely? Like, yeah, he tells his mom that they’re engaged and he stands next to Vanessa sometimes?

But like…

Grimsby asks him if he wants to get married and he’s just kinda like 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ariel disappears after he’s been hypnotized and, despite the enchantment, he still worries about her and wants to find her

Vanessa is actively being attacked by animals and he does absolutely nothing, but then Ariel appears and he immediately runs to her.

…So, basically, yeah, he’ll marry her, but that’s where he draws the line 😂 Her magic only goes so far. I honestly love hypnotism as a trope? Deciding where the hypnotized character is and isn’t able to resist is so interesting!

Indira. This was a fun one to paint, mainly because of the colours and pattern, the watercolours worked really well for that.

ur girl just watched the little mermaid remake and idc what anyone says it snapped and it was an actually good remake after god knows how long (around 7 years i believe since cinderella was also a good remake that snapped and it came out around 2015-16 ish i think).

Halle Bailey is an undoubted STAR okay and im glad this movie has gotten her more attention and success CUZ ITS DESERVED girlie sang like rent is due girlie sang like the landlord of her sea cave was giving her a hard time and she didnt have enough pearls to pay the bills and rent was DUE. I loved her acting considering the fact that she just debuted her eyes are so pretty she's so pretty her facial expressions were on point the whole movie and she's a true princess and she deserves all the flowers and more.

Jonah Hauer King just might be my new celebrity crush HAVE YALL SEEN THAT MAN hes a PRINCE PEOPLE THATS A PRINCE! THATS A BONAFIDE PRINCE i was skeptical when i intially saw him and BOY DID HE PROVE ME WRONG hes a bit different from cartoon eric, but hes not any less dreamy and if we keep casting him in lead romance roles he just might be the biggest romance actor of the gen.

The underwater animation was a joy to watch and the mermaid tails were so creative it wasnt corny or too fake looking it was fun, colorful, very natural but also very whimsical, it was perfect, i dare say. THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT SMOKED SUMN GOODDDD LIKE DAAANGGG DISNEY WHAT DID YALL GIVE EM TO SMOKE OR DID YALL LOCK THEY FAMILY UP IN A GULAG CUZ HONEEEEYYYY THE INSTRUMENTALS THE REPRISES THIS VERSION OF UNDER THE SEA

It was romantic, dramatic, it was a solid mermaid movie and hans christian andersen is prolly rolling in his grave. Peace.

Something as a life-long Disney fan that I adore about The Little Mermaid Live Action remake is that it understood what made the original so special.

I’ve seen so many of the remakes either do a shot by shot remake or add things that take away important factors from the original.

I love how enhancing Eric and Ariel’s shared love of collecting made their romance better.

I love how Ariel, while liking Eric after the night of his birthday, still also got to truly explore and learn about the human world.

I’ve been a Little Mermaid fan since I was a child and this was such a wonderful experience. I loved the movie so much (and am going back to see it again) and I’m so glad that this was a true remake that was faithful to the beloved source material.

It just hit me that Disney is dropping The Little Mermaid for Mermay.

Gosh, did it take me a long time to put that together.
