Changes

Traditional marriage is portrayed very positively for a post Ron Miller Disney film. As Ariel’s desire to go on an adventure was great, and served as a motivation to be human, she did want to be with Eric, and was happy to be with him for their screentime together. As for Eric’s role in the relationship, his goal was to marry the girl who saved him, but slowly started to love Ariel. He ultimately made the decision to leave the girl who saved him in his dreams, and marry Ariel, but Ursula hypnotized him. After the hypnosis was broken, Eric quickly decided to risk his life to save Ariel despite him now knowing she’s a mermaid.
