Hunky Prince Naveen from “The Princess and the Frog” is so full of himself, he needs to be turned into an amphibian to learn he’s not the sun at the center of the universe. Charismatic street rat Aladdin lies to Princess Jasmine, wooing her under false pretenses and only coming clean about his true identity when she’s in mortal peril. Many Disney heroes need to be taught a lesson in humility before living happily ever after with their far superior princesses. New 'Little Mermaid': What's the same, what's different in Disney's remake? Prince Eric is a humble hard worker in 'The Little Mermaid' Review: Halle Bailey keeps Disney's 'Little Mermaid' remake from being all wet
What’s so great about Prince Eric? We’re glad you asked: The new “Little Mermaid” and Hauer-King’s performance are reminders that Prince Eric is the best Disney prince, and it’s time we put some respect on his name. The film takes great pains to show us Prince Eric is so much more than a pretty face, but here’s the thing: He always has been. He’s even given his own original song by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda, “Wild Uncharted Waters,” a yearning ballad to stand alongside Ariel’s “Part of Your World.” Jonah Hauer-King is a dimpled, dark-haired and blue-eyed dreamboat with an impressive set of pipes, and his character has been thoughtfully updated for 21st-century audiences. What might come as a surprise to many moviegoers is just how dreamy the new Prince Eric is. Unless she spontaneously sprouted a second head, there was no way she wasn’t going to be a phenomenal Ariel. It’s little surprise Halle Bailey is lovely in the new live-action “The Little Mermaid.” We all knew she would be – we’ve heard her sing, after all.
