Growing up, I always liked Eric, but I don't think it was until recently that I really fully appreciated Eric. He jumps onto a burning ship to save his dog. Swoon. And he's a sailor. And he's a little bit gay (at least he seems really comfortable with that flute in his mouth). Basically, my ideal man. I always found it kinda hot when Vanessa has him under her thrall. Uh... basically I agree with you.
And Aladdin's awesome, too. Even though he's kind of a dolt.
Little Mermaid's also kinda sweet because Ariel gives up what's arguably one of the most Ariel things about her- her voice. It's not just a metaphor for giving away her power: she's giving away something that, from the beginning, we are told distinguishes her from the others. And also the thing Eric fell in love with. So Eric has to learn to appreciate everything else about her. I think that's kinda cool.
I could talk about that movie forever, I think it's so perfectly crafted.
