So while Eric's song is “Wild Uncharted Waters,” Jonah's song is “London Boy” by Taylor Swift.
Like it even mentions the dimples!! 💙
"But something happened, I heard him laughing,
I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent.
You know I love a London boy..."

listen if the little mermaid 2023 did anything right it was ariel and eric... they were already a good couple in the original but fleshing him out and making him drawn to the ocean in a parallel to ariel being drawn to land is so good. and kind of increasing that human vs merfolk tension to make it this romeo & juliet love story. like sorry they kind of slayed there. eric sees ariel turn back into a mermaid in front of him and all he does is hold her tighter. they're both gigantic nerds. he's a foot taller than her. it's incredible.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn't understand Eric's fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there's no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must've felt alone for years until, well, her. They're twin souls. I'm gonna sob in the corner real quick.
AND
This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon 'till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library. like a fucking gentleman.
A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.

the category is. alan menken deep emotional solos in disney remakes sung by the love interest who had none in the original movie but definitely deserved one cause they have their own story to tell and it really puts them on the same level as the main character
