List of The Little Mermaid characters
The following is a list of original characters from Disney's The Little Mermaid franchise, covering the 1989 film, its prequel television series, its direct-to-video sequel and prequel films, stage musical adaptation, and the live-action adaption.
Ariel (voiced by Jodi Benson and portrayed by Auli'i Cravalho in The Little Mermaid Live!, Sierra Boggess in the Broadway musical and portrayed by Halle Bailey in the 2023 live-action film) is one of the main characters of the franchise. The seventh-born and the youngest daughter of King Triton and the late Queen Athena of the merfolk, Ariel is a fun-loving and mischievous mermaid who, over the course of the original film. becomes human and marries Eric, a human prince. She is the only Disney Princess to reach parenthood in Disney's animated film canon, as in The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, Ariel is the mother of Melody, the film's protagonist.
Eric is based on the "prince" character of Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid", but was adapted by the writer-directors Ron Clements and John Musker for the film adaptation. According to the film's screenplay, Eric had just turned eighteen in the film, which would make him two years older than Ariel. Prince Eric is the only prince in the Disney Princess franchise not to sing in an original movie.
Eric is an eighteen-year-old human prince who lives in a castle in a small coastal town in Europe. After Ariel saves him from drowning in a storm at sea, she drags him to shore and sings to him, leaving Eric haunted by her voice. He searches the kingdom for her to no avail; when he crosses paths with Ariel again, he is unable to identify her, as she has given her voice to Ursula in exchange for legs. He brings her back to his palace and develops feelings for her as they spend time together. However, before he can approach her about them, Ursula, disguised as a human girl named Vanessa, hypnotizes Eric, forcing him to forget about Ariel and believe that Vanessa is the one who saved his life. He nearly marries Vanessa, but Ariel and her friends intervene, breaking Ursula's spell and restoring Ariel's voice to her. Eric realizes that Ariel is the girl he has been looking for, but before they can kiss, the sun sets and Ursula claims Ariel. Eric dives into the sea to help Ariel, and, in the ensuing battle, climbs onto a ship and kills Ursula by impaling her on its prow.
Eric makes cameo appearances in three episodes of the prequel television series: "Thingamajigger" in a non-speaking appearance, "Scuttle", and "Ariel's Treasures".
In the 2000 direct-to-video sequel, Eric is a supporting character. Although he and Ariel are happily married, in order to keep their new daughter Melody safe, they raise her away from the sea, keeping her mermaid heritage secret. They are attacked by Ursula's sister Morgana, who wishes to avenge Ursula.
In the 2007 Broadway musical, the role of Eric was originated by Sean Palmer. Following the death of Eric's father, it is Grimsby's duty to help Eric find a bride so he can return to the throne properly, despite Eric's affinity for exploring the seas. Eric contributes singing vocals to the opening song "Fathoms Below", and performs two solo songs: "Her Voice", a song about Eric's obsession with Ariel's voice that had been written for the original film but discarded, and "One Step Closer", a new song where Eric helps Ariel express herself through dance. Eric also provides vocals in the quartet "If Only", where he expresses confusion over his attraction to Ariel, and his fear that if he finds the girl with the right voice, he might lose Ariel. A new subplot in the stage musical is a singing competition where the eligible princesses in all the land are invited to sing for Eric. The princesses perform in the song "The Contest", which is set to the tune of Ariel's song "Part of Your World". At the end of the performance, Ariel dances for Eric, and he chooses her. The role was also performed by Drew Seeley.
Eric also appears in the video game Disney Magic Kingdoms, as a playable character to unlock for a limited time. He performs an original song for the character named "Wild Uncharted Waters", where he dreams of going on adventures and voyages.
