- Prince Eric finally gets a ‘Little Mermaid’ character arc – and his own ballad! “The Little Mermaid” still centers on Ariel’s yearning to explore the surface world, her dastardly deal with sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy) and the blossoming romance between Ariel and Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King).
- Ariel and Eric have a chance to fall in love before he needs to ‘Kiss the Girl’ Eric and Ariel spend a good amount of time sharing their sense of exploration and adventure – plus just get to know each other as he shows her his landscape where she’s a fish out of water – before the big romantic tune “Kiss the Girl.”
- Halle Bailey’s Ariel gets a second solo showstopper. The young mermaid has her biggest musical moment early on, with the powerful ballad “Part of Your World.”
- Melissa McCarthy's updated Ursula is a member of Ariel’s family. Marshall wanted to “raise the stakes” of the story whenever he could, which is why Ursula in the new film isn't just some random nefarious villainess trying to rule the undersea kingdom but actually Triton’s sister (and Ariel’s aunt).
