Prince Eric is a fictional character featured in Disney's 1989 animated film, The Little Mermaid. He is a human prince, often depicted as handsome and compassionate, with a love for the sea.

Eric's primary desire is to find true love. He is captivated by a mysterious singing voice that saves him from drowning during a storm, leading him to search for the woman behind it. This event sets in motion the film's plot, as he becomes the object of Ariel's affection.

Throughout the film, Eric is portrayed as somewhat naive and easily charmed, which is exploited by Ursula when she disguises herself as Vanessa. However, he ultimately demonstrates bravery and resourcefulness, playing a key role in defeating Ursula and ensuring Ariel's happiness.

His personality is that of a kind and adventurous soul. He yearns for a life beyond the confines of his royal duties, a sentiment that resonates with Ariel's own desire to explore the human world.
