And this all assumes that the writers won't take the Disney route like they did with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, etc. And considering that they're using Disney names, my guess is they're taking the Disney route (unless the huge emphasis placed on Ariel's voice in the movie was because it was a siren call that did capture Eric, in which case Ursula accidentally did her a favor by taking it away, because it meant Eric and Ariel fell in love for real instead of just magically-induced infatuation. and I might have to write fic about just that). That was actually the point, of putting emphasis on Ariel's voice. It was a siren's song, that originally captured Eric affections. Which is why, when Disney adapted The Little Mermaid for Broadway, they changed the ending.
