Description

Here's the deal: for this inaugural installment, Linsey Miller gives you the story of Disney's The Little Mermaid (primarily the animated film, but there are also nods to the Broadway musical) from Eric's POV. For fans of Twisted Tales and Villains is a brand new YA series that retells the classic Disney stories you thought you knew from the Disney Princes’ perspectives.

Overall, I did enjoy Prince of Song & Sea. Whether you’re a general Disney fan or just can’t get enough of The Little Mermaid, it expands this world with a story that reframes the film from the perspective of Prince Eric. It also offers a glimpse at what’s to come in this new Disney Prince Novel series. And while it’s not yet known which prince will be the next one featured, it does make a casual reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I will say though, as a Little Mermaid fan, NONE of these people show up ANYWHERE in the animated film. My appreciation for the diversity outweighs this though, but pause any frame in the movie and you can clearly see there are no characters of color either on the ship's crew -- or anyone who looks anything like a pirate -- or at the wedding. So again, trying to force this in didn't quite work for me, although I fully recognize that's a superficial level/quibble.] I LOVED seeing their relationship fleshed out so fully and having them understand each other on a much deeper level. Wonky sign language charades and all. A girl rescued me. She was singing. She had the most beautiful voice.” ―Prince Eric talking about Ariel Video Games: NES game • Sega Genesis Game • Ariel's Story Studio • Kingdom Hearts • Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories • Kingdom Hearts II • The Little Mermaid 2: Pinball Frenzy • Disney's The Little Mermaid: Magic in Two Kingdoms • Disney Emoji Blitz • Disney Heroes: Battle ModeEric is a hopeless romantic and appears to be quite dreamy, believing his true love certainly exists, but simply hasn't been found by the earliest points of the film. After being rescued by a mysterious girl with a beautiful voice, he immediately falls in love with her and makes it his primary goal to find her and marry her, feeling deep gratitude for her actions. Eric would later prove his commitment towards romance by risking his life at the climax for the safety of Ariel, proclaiming he's lost her once and refuses to lose her again. Before Prince Eric's mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse? If he were to kiss someone other than his true love, he would die. Prince Phillip’s known from a young age that his destiny has already been decided for him by his father, King Hubert. His job is to smile and wave for the crowd and ride off into the sunset with his predetermined fiancé, Princess Aurora, after her curse is lifted on her sixteenth birthday. But just days before Aurora’s birthday party, Phillip experiences a strange burst of magic, and three fairies tell him that he is part of a prophecy set to defeat Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil. Suddenly Phillip feels as if he has a choice—maybe magic can be the freedom he has been looking for.

His mother, Queen Eleanora, upset an evil witch when he was born. In retaliation, she cursed baby Eric with the threat of death if he ever kisses anyone other than his true love. With his mother no longer beside him and a fast approaching coronation, Eric is under pressure to find a bride to secure the future of his kingdom Vellona, but a wedding day kiss could prove fatal if he doesn’t find someone who matches the witch’s description – a girl with a voice as pure as her heart. Lilo & Stitch: Stitch • Lilo • Jumba • Scrump • Angel • Shaved Ice Stitch • Rainbow Stitch • Nani PelekaiI also loved that the book managed to solve common plot issues of the movie. For example, it explains why Ariel doesn’t write what she wants to say and why Ariel didn’t read her contract with Ursula.

Season Three: " The Heart of the Truest Believer" • " Lost Girl" • " Quite a Common Fairy" • " Nasty Habits" • " Good Form" • " Ariel" • " Dark Hollow" • " Think Lovely Thoughts" • " Save Henry" • " The New Neverland" • " Going Home" • " New York City Serenade" • " Witch Hunt" • " The Tower" • " Quiet Minds" • " It's Not Easy Being Green" • " The Jolly Roger" • " Bleeding Through" • " A Curious Thing" • " Kansas" • " Snow Drifts" • " There's No Place Like Home" Disney Characters introduced in Birth by Sleep: Prince Phillip • Maleficent's Goons • Doc • Grumpy • Happy • Sleepy • Bashful • Sneezy • Dopey • The Prince • Evil Queen • Magic Mirror • Prince Charming • Jaq • Lady Tremaine • Anastasia • Drizella • Lucifer • Grand Duke • Grand Councilwoman • Captain Gantu • Jumba • Experiment 221 • Lost Boys

Pocahontas: Pocahontas • Flit • Meeko • Percy • Grandmother Willow • Governor Ratcliffe • Colors of the Wind Pocahontas There's a lot to like here, but I wish Ursula hadn't been the main villain, and that Miller hadn't had to fit the story into the original film so much. The more progressive updates with regards to diversity and the romance between Ariel and Eric (which, if canon, offer a nice "take that" to critics who call Little Mermaid sexist and harmful) do end up outweighing those, for me. That's why I dislike the two Maleficent movies. They just stray very far from the gothic inspired costumes, the weightless hair movements the cubic trees and the comical horses. Season Two: " Resigned to It" • " Calliope Dreams" • " Save the Whale" • " Against the Tide" • " Giggles" • " Wish Upon a Starfish" • " Tail of Two Crabs" • " Metal Fish" • " T'ank You For Dat, Ariel"

We learn about Eric's friends, his mother's disappearance, and the issues that plague the surrounding kingdoms.

First in a series, unclear if Miller will write all of them (like Valentino + Villains) or if each book will have a different author (more like Twisted Tales).
