Halle Bailey as Ariel & Jonah Hauer-King as Eric
The Little Mermaid (2023) dir. Rob Marshall
There’s no way he’s going to get it without a little help. After a moment, she gets an idea. She points up at the constellations he was describing earlier. Eric frowns. “Sky? Uh…” She pushes his cheek to direct his line of sight, then does her best to draw the ram constellation. “Aries?” All right, good job. She gestures for him to say it again. He does, and she holds a hand up to his lips before he can say the s at the end of the word. “Arie-? Ari-e?” She runs a finger down his lips as he says it again. “Arie-? Ari-el?” Yes! She bobs her head excitedly. Eric grins at her. “Ariel. That’s a beautiful name. Written in the stars.” They gaze at each other, and for Ariel it feels magnetic, like everything in this moment was set up just for them.

“That’s just Jere; he flirts with everyone. Susannah likes to joke that he’s like a golden retriever.”
