Our Favorite Disney Dads, Ranked

We aren't going to lie: King Triton is a little intimidating when he busts out that trident — rest in peace, Prince Eric statue — but he always has the best intentions. When it comes down to it, he just wants Ariel to be happy. Any dad who would take his daughter's place as a sad sea polyp and then magically throw some legs on her so that she could be with the love of her life deserves a gold medal in the dad department.

Best line: "Fathers have to learn that daughters have to grow, and if you truly love them, you must let them go."
