Grimsby

Voice Actor: Ben Wright

Featured Episodes: The Little Mermaid, Scuttle

Bio: One of Eric's advisors. He gets put in charge of preparing Eric's wedding ship and takes Eric to meet prospective brides.

Grimsby is Prince Eric's manservant and confidant, voiced by Ben Wright (in his final role) in the original film. In the opening scene, Grimsby is shown as not having the stomach for the sea, and dismisses the sailors' stories about merpeople living under the sea. Through dialogue, Grimsby reveals that he worries for Eric, and has been hoping that the prince will settle down with the right girl. For Eric's birthday, Grimsby presents a statue he had commissioned of Eric in a dramatic pose. Though Eric and Max disapprove of the statue, Grimsby is apparently proud of it. Later, when Ariel has become human, Grimsby grows fond of the girl and encourages Eric to give up his dream girl for one "of flesh and blood" (which, unknown to him and Eric, are one and the same). Grimsby appears briefly in the sequel, in which he is voiced by Kay E. Kuter.
