1:55 Ursula never stated Ariel would get her voice back if she managed to kiss Eric - her voice was the payment for turning her human. Ursula just said she would become human permanently if she & Eric shared True Love’s Kiss. So therefore, while she’d be human she would remain mute.

@@Rocket1377 It's been years since I've seen the movie but I recall Ursula mentioning that Ariel could still use "body language". If that's the case, I don't know why she couldn't just write things out in the sand, which is a form of using her body to communicate, or just get Eric to basically start a game of charade and "20 questions" and she could nod "yes" or "no". If he's any kind of savvy he could probably whittle things down based on that or otherwise noting her expressions and gestures.

I already knew about the issue that Ariel could’ve wrote to Eric, but I never thought of her stealing her father’s triton to make herself human. And for Eric’s statue ending up with all the other treasures, I always just assumed that it just sunk down there through the hole into the cave when the ship sunk. Then again, the hole to that place is pretty small. Maybe it crashed its way in there when it happened. Whatever, point is, I think Flounder simply found the statue in there when he went there and went to bring Ariel to it. Also, I don’t think Ariel would’ve got her voice back after kissing Eric. She would only become a human permanently while Ursula keeps the voice as payment.

The voice of Eric, Christopher Daniel Barnes, was only a teenager when he recorded it. He was also on a sitcom at the time called *Day By Day* after replacing the abysmally bad Danny Pintauro on *As the World Turns,* which caused the dreadful ABC sitcom he left it for to wait a year to premiere after taping a pilot they could just as easily have shelved or recast.

We have a video covering it ages ago, but in a nutshell, 14 was never actually common at any point in known human history. :-) In fact one of the earliest average ages to get married for women in known history was actually around the baby boomer generation very recently obviously... Who also had some of the highest divorce rates in known history.... 😋 The misconception that this was common primarily stems from royals and the like who did do stuff like this constantly with super early marriages for political reasons obviously. :-) For practical reasons others did too at times and it was also far more accepted to an extent. But when looking at marriage records and things throughout history which are reasonably well documented because of the church and royals keeping track of their subjects and all, still wasn't the norm to have teen girls get married, contrary to popular perception. :-) -Daven

this does beg the question of why ariel never thought of writing notes or anything. She even could have passed off losing her voice as an accident or something that happened after saving Eric without having to reveal any magic or anything behind it.

[@Veylon]

​@@tabalugadragon3555 They're all Disney canon except for Snow White, whose age is not given. Jasmine's age was a plot point in Aladdin because she was going to be married off at 16. But I get why you're surprised; they certainly aren't drawn as teenagers, they aren't played by teenagers in meet-and-greets in Disneyland, and the live action remake is going to have a 23 year old play the part.

@@bluedragonfly8139 1) I looked it up on Wikipedia. WP had links to Disney's own website. 2) Because it was one of those things that I THOUGHT I knew, but once the question came up, I realized I didn't actually know. 3) That's actually not true; 16 is a marriageable age in most of the world with certain caveats. Aside from that, if getting married at 16 is a squicky concept that shouldn't be normalized by putting it on the movie screen, then maybe we ought to find other stories to adapt instead of the Grimm ones.

[@JVFNAF]

This is the best!! I remember a Toei Animations' older adaptation of the Little Mermaid where the prince actually asks her to write who she is but there she has the excuse of NOT being able to write. In the Disney version, she CAN! So half of the movie has a big plot hole. I mean, couldn't they just watch the previous adaptations? Like TOEI'S ??

[@beethovensfidelio]

THANK YOU! Also, in the fairy tale, it was never established that the mermaid could write, since the mermaid never signed a contract. She just had her tongue cut in exchange for a potion that will turn her human. 😬

Love this! I discovered HISHE through Neebs Gaming. I'm so glad I checked you guys out. I look forward to enjoying your content.

[@spectrum4524]

Enjoyed it a ton, but watching this after Film Theory's newest video on The Little Mermaid, I would have loved a scene where the moment Areal gets her voice backs and speaks, Eric's eardrums burst due to the high decibels.

[@Wh0isTh3D0ct0r]

I do want to point out, though, that the contract says "I hereby grant unto Ursula, the Witch of the Sea...one voice...........for all eternity. Signed, Ariel" Nowhere in the explanation or the song or the contract do we see or hear anything which indicates that Ariel will get her voice back upon receiving a kiss from Prince Eric. It is simply agreed that she will not return to being a mermaid if she can get him to kiss her.

[@v1de0gamr23]

"I have currently lost my voice, but I will get it back after we kiss." No, she wouldn't. Ariel's voice was payment for the potion/spell that turned her into a human. Getting a refund was not part of the contract.

[@isabellesundin6696]

That’s what I’m saying! I think Sebastian, said that to Ariel to give her false hope😅. Remember one part of the song “ kiss the girl” And she won't say a word Until you kiss the girl

[@RaichuWizDom]

@@isabellesundin6696 That scene is even more hilarious when you realise Sebastian can just talk to Eric. He can tell him Ariel's name, but he can't explain the situation?

[@ChaosRayZero]

@@RaichuWizDom Especially since the direct-to-video sequel _retconned that,_ strongly implying (if not outright stating- I don't quite remember since I only saw it once) that *_only merfolk can communicate with sea creatures_* (a gift that Ariel's daughter inherited). ...Which just made my head hurt when _I tried to figure out why Ariel can talk to Scuttle._

[@Simply_Human23]

😂 This section of the video is hilarious 1:49 YES! simply write it down in the sand that would have saved so much confusion, Eric spent half the movie simply trying to guess her name correctly which delayed the kiss as he was trying to wait for the girl he saw on the beach the one who sang to him while passed out which allowed Ursala to decive him with her magic. haha, but one thing which wasn't considered do they teach writing under the sea? well Ariel wrote her name on the contract hence apparently she can write at least some yet Eric never provided her with a means to communicate via writing instead she had to gesture mime through half the film which of course stretched the story out as Eric could barely understand what she was trying to say I even thought of this briefly when I was little, I thought why hasn't anyone given her something to write on? perhaps she can write it down, but nope that didn't happen haha. side note Eric wouldn't be able to read my writing he would be like huh what? and I'd have to go back to gesture miming to communicate 😢

[@blackmagician7645]

Wow. That contract signing bit really did open up a can of plot holes didn't it?😬

[@betterlatethannever4529]

So, there’s actually no reason she’d get the voice back. It was the payment for the spell. The kiss is what would make or break the spell. On another note, it’s been suggested that since mermaids are known to lure sailors to their deaths by singing to them, Ariel’s singing wasn’t actually what attracted Eric in the first place, but instead the enchantment behind it.

[@Mike0908]

exactly. the only reason ariel got her voice back is scuttle broke ursula's shell. only thing kissing eric would have done was kept her human. so she'd just be a mute human. ursula could have used ariel's voice perhaps to lure triton into a trap but that's about it.

[@monmothma3358]

[@kenziehurlock]

I never picked up on this. I never realized that her voice was non refundable. I've seen this movie more times than I can count. Wow!

Don’t underestimate the importance of Body language

[@qwerty77772]

I was about to type this. The only reason Ariel got her voice back in the movie was because Ursula lost it when fighting with Scuttle. Real question is why didn't Ursula just kill/kidnap Eric to keep him from kissing Ariel?

They basically do what are generally referred to as the most popular "genre films." In addition to superheroes, they also cover high fantasy, sci-fi, game adaptations, some adventure films with similar elements like the "Jurassic Park" and "Indiana Jones" franchises, a few horror flicks, and the occasional Disney/Pixar animation.
