Netizens overjoyed by Ariel and Eric's chemistry in Disney's The Little Mermaid

The story of Ariel and Eric is often considered one of the best-written stories in film history. It made fans go wild in 1989 and now again in 2023. It takes quite a while for their story to develop as Eric was not sure about Ariel at first. After all, Eric was a human being, and Ariel was a half-fish-half-human.

Fans are especially impressed by the chemistry between Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King as they were skeptical about their casting since the film's announcement. Nevertheless, the duo proved everyone wrong and successfully delivered a memorable performance.

Here is how fans on Twitter reacted to scenes from the Disney film.

While the entire film was filled with enchanting sequences, it's safe to say that fans were most impressed by the innocent love story between Ariel and Eric. They even pointed out that the scene where Ariel taught Eric the correct way to pronounce her name was the most wholesome scene in the film.

Thankfully, The Little Mermaid received a happy ending with Eric and Ariel able to live together happily ever after.
