The Little Mermaid (1989 film)/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Sebastian's line during Ariel's first night at Prince Eric's place:

Sebastian: You are hopeless, child. You know that? Completely hopeless.

  • The wedding scene at the end, where everyone's happy and Ariel is saying goodbye to her dad.

Ariel: I love you, Daddy.

  • The moment Triton and Eric nod at each other in mutual respect and approval.
  • And when Eric takes off in a rowboat with a harpoon to rescue Ariel from Ursula, starting off his Moment of Awesome:

Eric: I lost her once, I'm NOT going to lose her again!

  • Grimsby advising Eric on his feelings for Ariel. He may be a Stiff Upper Lip, but he turns to the prince and gives him wonderfully heartwarming advice on love. And it would have worked too, if not for Ursula's magic.

Grimsby: If I may say so Eric, far better than any dream girl, is one warm, and caring... and right before your eyes.

  • Triton's realization about Ariel's feelings.

Triton: She really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian?
Sebastian: Mm-hm.
Triton: I suppose there's only one problem.
Sebastian: What's that, your majesty?
Triton: sadly How much I'm going to miss her.
