Summary: Okay...but not that good
Review: After seeing Little Mermaid 2, I think that the first one was a lot better. Here's why...1)better music--The soundtrack to the first Little Mermaid was very distinctive (my favorites are "Under the Sea," and "Part of Your World") Return to the Sea's soundtrack was okay, but the songs just weren't an instant hit. 2)better story--maybe it's because Little Mermaid came first, but Return to the Sea's plot wasn't really that interesting: Melody (Ariel's daughter) is prevented from going in the sea because of Ursula's evil sister, but she disobeys, and jeopardizes King Tritans' kingdom as a result) To me, it seemed like the plot just wasn't as captivating as the first one. It also displayed disobedience and disrespectfulness. In conclusion, it's an okay movie to watch, but I just wouldn't rate it top-notch.

Summary: Come On Disney!
Review: Actually 2 1/2 stars. Please, unless you have a daughter around the age of 1-6 don't even think about buying. The movie is so predictable & most of the characters you loved in the original become your least favorite. The story is completely like the first, Ursula's sister, Morgana wants the king's triton & uses Melody's longing to be a mermaid as her advantage. None of the songs are at all good, the character Melody is too gullible & unlikable, characters like Flounder, Ariel, & Scuttle become the stupidest of the whole movie making Melody look good, & the villian Morgana is too looney & not at all evil in my eyes. The only good aspects of the movie is the stunning animation & the very funny Sebastion.

Summary: Nothing Original
Review: Everything in this movie is an annoying cliche. The villan is a cross between the Witch in "Wizard of Oz" and Philys Diller! You can easilly guess the rhyme scheme of the forgettible new songs before the line is even finnished. Observing a five year old watching this film is more interesting than the film itself. You can expect "Little Mermaid 3" since the villan is not killed-she ends up frozen in a block of ice. (Isn't that an ironic ending for a DISNEY film?)

Summary: Typical sequel letdown
Review: I was very disappointed in this sequel. Not nearly as captivating or original as the "The Little Mermaid," nor was the storyline, animation, or soundtrack noteworthy. My 3 year old daughter likes it, but then again, she likes ANYTHING to do with Ariel. Too bad Hans Christian Anderson didn't write his own sequel. It would have been as good as his original story.

Summary: An enjoyable sequel. Great for kids.
Review: Movie sequels have one thing against them... It is nearly impossible to make one that is on par with the original. Little Mermaid II is no exception.The magic and wonder of the first film is missing here, in the story of Ariel's daughter Melody. Melody has an obsession with the sea, and, because of events that happen early on, is forbidden from ever seeing it. A clever idea, but one which could have been executed. Ursula's revengeful sister Morgana is a weaker character than the original villian, and the addition of two new sidekicks didn't accomplish much more than to make sure that the classic characters didn't get to really participate in the story. The songs are second tier, but, especially to younger children, hummable. This film doesn't contain any real objectionable material, and is a fun distraction for fans of the original and those with younger viewers. Please, don't watch this if you want to recapture the fun of the first film. Buy the original instead! If you're looking for a good Disney Direct-to-Video sequel, I recommend Lion King II.

Summary: Typical disney junk
Review: Kids will love it, adults will fall sleep trying to watch it, and the debate over wither it's Wabbit season or Duck Season would be a welcomed change over this drek.

Summary: rent, don't buy
Review: My kids liked it ok, but honestly, I wouldn't buy it. It isn't nearly as good as the original. I found the character, Melody, unlikeable. The animation was not that great.

Summary: Throw this one back!
Review: I loved the original, but this (very) pale imitation is painful to sit through for anyone over five. Even the T.V. series was better, which isn't saying much. If you are buying this to babysit young children, it is okay... but leave the room and save yourself.

Summary: Gives a bad name to sequels
Review: I bought this for my 5 1/2 year old, and the first thing she said after watching it was, "Maybe you shouldn't have bought it." It just didn't have half the spirit and inventiveness of the first one. Basically, it WAS the first one, with nominal changes, but half the suspense and less than half the charm.
