I know that it's the voice that makes him realize that it's the same girl. But, that makes no sense. Even before he's under Ursula's command, he's still thinking of a women with the same voice. Even superhero films don't do this stuff. Just because a hero saves a girl doesn't mean that they will be together easily, they need to have chemistry.
shareYou DO realize Eric had just been brainwashed by Ursula (well, technically Vanessa, but she's Ursula in disguise, so whatever), right?
shareDid you miss the part where Ursula/Vanessa uses the shell containing Ariel's voice to put a spell on Eric? His eyes turn green for crying out loud.
shareLike the others said, "Vanessa" clearly put a spell on Eric using the shell with Ariel's voice.
shareWell he is hyoptized by Ursula to think she is the one to match the voice
shareUrsula used magic to control Eric. Surprised she didn't try the same with Ariel to get her out of the way.
