According to Variety, Disney has found a suitable human man to play the live-action interpretation of ideal cartoon man Prince Eric in its big remake of The Little Mermaid, with Jonah Hauer-King (A Dog’s Way Home, PBS’ 2017 Little Women) signing up to play the handsome sailor whose life gets turned upside-down when he meets a mermaid and then meets a very similar-looking woman with normal legs but no voice. Later, a talking crab tries to get him to kiss the girl, and then the crab gets wrapped up in an unnecessarily long subplot about an overzealous chef.
