Who is Prince Eric?

He is adventurous, kind and a little goofy. He has dark hair and blue eyes with an incredible singing voice and a smile that could win over any fair maiden.

Ever since the internet has heard the fantastic news that Halle Bailey will be playing the role of Ariel there has been speculation as to who exactly will be playing the role of the beloved Prince Eric.

Here are a few of my top picks!

1. Shawn Mendes

People who know me know that I might be a little bias when I say that Shawn Mendes would make the perfect Prince Eric. Hear me out because this isn't the super fan in me talking this is my honest opinion. I believe that he checks off everything on the "Prince Eric" checklist and imagine that SOUNDTRACK. His beautiful voice singing to Halle Bailey will literally make hearts EXPLODE in the movies! This is the one. Here is Prince Eric.

2. Harry Styles

There has already been speculation of this past boy band member to be playing the role of Prince Eric. His beautiful singing voice and unique sense of style will bring a new spin on the Prince Eric we know and love. His overall boy appeal will make audience members scream when his pearly whites are shining on the big screen.

3. Matt Bomer

You probably remember him from Magic Mike, but now you are about to remember him for being Prince Eric. His dark hair and blue eyes fit the traditional Prince Eric mold. We just now have to see if he can sing!

4. Ansel Elgort

He can sing, he can act, and he can be our Prince Eric! I believe Ansel would absolutely smash this role and don't you think him and Halle would just look so cute together?

5. Jimin

K-Pop member of the boy band BTS would be an interesting pick on playing Prince Eric. I believe that he could really land the role and several thousands of other people are rooting for him to play Disney's beloved Prince Eric. He checks everything off the checklist and more! Let's see if it happens!

These are all great choices, but which ones or any of them will prevail?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
