I was born and raised in a Catholic environment, she has a sister. I would say it was a little more cultural than spiritual — a little bit more religious than relational. And I was drawing toward the Lord in middle school, but I didn't quite know how to have that personal relationship at the time. When I started dating my husband at 18, he introduced me to Christ, and asked, "Do you have a relationship with Jesus?" And I said, "I love Him, and I know He's the Son of God, but I don't think I have a relationship with Him — like I can talk to Him by myself without going through the priest and stuff." And so, I had a really big conversion when I was 19, and Ray is responsible for opening that relationship for me. Carlotta (voiced by Edie McClurg) works in Eric's castle in a role suggested to be similar to a housekeeper, though it is not stated outright.

Eric is based on the "prince" character of Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale " The Little Mermaid," but was adapted by the writer-directors Ron Clements and John Musker for the film adaptation. According to the film's screenplay, Eric had just turned 18 in the film, which would make him two years older than Ariel. [1] Eric is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes in the original film, Kingdom Hearts II, and Disney Dreamlight Valley, by Jeff Bennett in the prequel television series, and by Rob Paulsen in the direct-to-video sequel. Prince Eric is the only prince in the "Disney Princess" franchise not to sing in an original movie.
Ursula has appeared in various Disney Press novels and tie-ins for the franchise. A comic book series, Disney's The Little Mermaid, was released in 1992, revolving around the adventures of Ariel living under the sea as a mermaid. Ursula appears in a few issues, notably "Serpent Teen", which depicts how Ursula obtained the sea serpent carcass that makes her home. [79] My Side of the Story: Ursula (2004) retells the plot of the film from Ursula's point of view, and depicts Ursula having romantic feelings for Triton. [80] The Villain Files (2005) depicts Ursula's youth living in Triton's castle while Ariel was a baby. [81] a b The 1989 film was the only appearance that Ursula was voiced by Jodi Benson, because in the 1989 film, Ursula turned into a human and used Ariel's voice; in other appearances, since Ursula doesn't have Ariel's voice anymore, when she turns into a human, Jodi Benson isn't her voice actress. In her book Tales, Then and Now: More Folktales as Literary Fictions for Young Adults, author Anna E. Altmann compared Ursula to Satan because both Ariel and Triton "sign a contract ... with her"; [10] James Plath of Movie Metropolis described Ursula's contract as "a Mephistophelean bargain." [68] Much like Satan, Ursula was banished from Triton's palace, similar to the way in which Lucifer was exiled from heaven. [44] Felix Vasquez of Cinema Crazed believes that Ursula "is evil just for the sake of being evil". [69] Writing for the Disney Archives, Dave Smith observed that Ursula "has the gross unsubtlety of Ratigan from ' The Great Mouse Detective' but substantially more brio." [70] Describing Ursula as "Bejeweled and lip-pouting like an overweight, over-rich, over-pampered, over-the-top society hostess gone mad," Smith perceived the character as "all flair, flamboyance, and theatricality mixed with a touch of con-artistry", citing wrath as her only genuine emotion. [70] Additionally, Ursula tends to act as though she is performing for an audience. [70] Jay Boyar of the Orlando Sentinel compared the character's appearance to that of evangelist Tammy Faye. [71] At times, Ursula tends to demonstrate stereotypically masculine physical traits. [72] Describing the character as "A campy sea witch with an insatiable thirst for power", Rolling Stone's David Ehrlich believes that Ursula resembles a child of Divine and Donald Trump. [73] Some critics identify the character with body positivity. According to Michaela Glover of The Odyssey, "Ursula portrays a bold business woman, not being afraid to show off her curves and use them, which defies the typical standards of beauty by also being a full figured woman."

Ursula is the villain in the 2020 children's horror novel Part of Your Nightmare by Vera Strange, which is the first book of the Disney Chills series. [85] The novel's setting is modern day, in a beach city named Triton Bay where eleven-year-old Shelly Anderson has just moved to a new school. Shelly struggles to fit in and especially wants the approval of Kendall, the popular captain of their school's swim team. Shelly first encounters Ursula at the aquarium owned by the Anderson family, and afterward has sleeping and waking nightmares of Ursula offering her a deal where that Shelly can be the "fastest swimmer ever", if Shelly does her a small favor in return.
