Prince Eric is the hero and the deuteragonist of the film. Eric was, at first, secretly admired by Ariel. The character is based on the "prince" character of Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Little Mermaid" but adapted by the writers/directors Ron Clements and John Musker for the film adaptation. According to the film's official novelisation, Eric had just turned eighteen in the film, two years older than Ariel.[1] The character is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes in the original film and the Kingdom Hearts video games, by Jeff Bennett in the prequel television series, and by Rob Paulsen in the direct-to-video sequel.
