the category is. alan menken deep emotional solos in disney remakes sung by the love interest who had none in the original movie but definitely deserved one cause they have their own story to tell and it really puts them on the same level as the main character
listen if the little mermaid 2023 did anything right it was ariel and eric… they were already a good couple in the original but fleshing him out and making him drawn to the ocean in a parallel to ariel being drawn to land is so good. and kind of increasing that human vs merfolk tension to make it this romeo & juliet love story. like sorry they kind of slayed there. eric sees ariel turn back into a mermaid in front of him and all he does is hold her tighter. they’re both gigantic nerds. he’s a foot taller than her. it’s incredible.
-You were the one who named the show in the first place and you were the one who told me I could do it on my own. You jumped in front of a taco truck to save my life. And then you said we should wait to date until the whole “hero” thing wore off, except…Freddie, you’re still my hero. You’re the person who I can always count on. You’re the person who makes me laugh and you’re the person who pushes me to do the things that I need to do even when I really don’t want to. And since I’ve never actually said it and you deserve to hear it. I like you, Freddie Benson. And I want to be with you.
-Carly, I need you to know. Being your friend is not a consolation prize. It is the best thing that I get to be. If we try this and it doesn’t work…I can’t lose you.
