A few days ago the live-action of The Little Mermaid hit theaters amid endless criticism and divided opinions; However, those who have already seen it could not ignore the notable differences that appear in Ariel’s relationship with Prince Eric, from the animated film.
Ariel and Prince Eric: what are the differences of their romance in live-action with the animated film
The love story between Ariel and Prince Eric is the center of ‘The Little Mermaid’, and many say that the romance of the live-action surpasses that of the animated version.
It is said that this love story is much better and more passionate from their first meeting. It is said that the beautiful mermaid is not only cultivated by the handsome prince’s physique, but also her adventurous spirit and her immense desire to explore the world.
On the other hand, Prince Eric also has a profound change, because captivated by the mysterious woman who saved him from dying in the depths of the sea, he is much deeper, with more complex emotions than the animated prince.
The bond this couple forges is truly magical, blossoming as Ariel explores Eric’s castle while he shares his most amazing collection of rare items with her.
Importantly, this deeper, more comprehensive expansion of the romance doesn’t significantly alter the film’s story or pacing, instead adding an extra layer of depth and soulfulness to the core element we already know from the animated version.
It is important to note that while we can enjoy the way in which Ariel and Eric fall in love in greater depth, these new changes do not affect the original story in any way, on the contrary, it complements it perfectly.
Ariel’s sisters will have a very important role in the live-action ‘The Little Mermaid’, and this is all you need to know about them.
