Summary: MADE FOR VIDEO...enough said
Review: I can only give this movie 3 stars. Made for video movies tend to be disappointing because of the lack of production quality. Disney has trained americans to expect eye-popping animation so when Disney comes out with straight-to-video-movies, disappointment is bound to set in. That's what happens with this movie. However, the little kids will love it. So there you go.

Summary: Great... Another Disney Sequel
Review: When I was six, The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie. I must've watched it at least 20 times. I had the doll, the clothes, everything. Times have changed and I'm 17 now, but I still like it. Last night, I babysat for a 3 year old who wanted to watch this sequel. It wasn't that horrible, but it was nowhere near the excellence of the original. First of all, I hated what they did to the original characters. Ariel has more or less turned into her father.(What is it with Disney sequels? They did this to Simba in the Lion King sequel too.) Flounder has turned into an older fish with many children, and Sebastian into an old crab that complains a lot. Personally, I found this rather disturbing in comparison with the characters' spunky personalities of the original. Secondly, the movie lacked one really great song. They tried though. There were songs every few minutes, but none of them were on the level of "Under the Sea" or "Part of Your World". Third, the villain was Ursula's sister. And, the two of them might as well have been twins because she was exactly like her sister, except less frightening. Ursula gave me nightmares when I was little. The scene at the end of the original where she becomes really big scared me to death. The end of this movie did not even remotely frighten the three year old I watched it with. She found it really funny. (Actually, that could be a good thing depending on your opinion.) Ok, now that I've complained about my main problems with it, I'll talk about the good points. Melody, Ariel's daughter, was the best part of the movie. She was a younger version of Ariel in the first movie. (I could write a ton of similarities between them) She was in many ways a typical 12 year old, which I found appealing. I also liked the scenes dealing with Melody's birthday party. They were cute and pretty entertaining. All in all, this movie isn't as awful as it could have been. It will most likely entertain kids under the age of 6, but older fans of the original shouldn't waste their time watching it.

Summary: Wonderful Music ! not as goood as the first ! wonderful Cast
Review: This I think is a tad bit better than the first , here's why I think that . The Music is Just to die for ,songs like ,For a Moment , Tip and Dash adventuers slash explorers , Land and sea (Reprise) . For another thing the cast is so gooooooooood , Some Voice talents have returned from the oringal like Jodi Benson (Ariel) and Sameul E Wright as silly Crustainon Sebstian ! Melody has a gorgeous voice ! Yo don't you think this Movie dierves a decent 5 stars ! Great Job disney , Composers way to go , and casting diector you have good taste ! Over all this is on top of thel list for Greatest Movie of the year Thanks Disney !

Summary: Serious questions
Review: This 2nd episode of the Little Mermaid raises serious questions that I feel deserve to be addressed.1. Compared to the palace in the Little Mermaid, there seems to have been a decline in the informality in dealing with the royal family. For instance, in the first Little Mermaid, the palace staff, servers, washerwomen etc, address Prince Eric as "Eric" and freely discuss the idea of introducing him to "nice girls" as if he were simply one of the family. In the Little Mermaid 2 Ariel is addressed as Your Majesty by all and sundry. This represents a worrying trend toward a less egalitarian monarchy. 2. Despite being married for around 13 years, Ariel and Eric have had only one child. Given the era I assume reliable contraception was not available. This raises the question of the difficulty that may be being experienced by the mermaid and human in conceiving a baby together. We may have to wait for later episodes to see if little Melody is capable of bearing children, or suffers the fate of other offspring of mixed breeds, eg mules and ligers etc. Given the breakdown in barriers between the Merfolk and humans, this is something King Triton will have to bear in mind before allowing anymore crossovers. It would make King Triton's angry words in the Little Mermaid "You're a mermaid, he's a human" scarily prescient. A second explanantion for the lack of children could simply be the lack of marital relations between Ariel and Eric. It is possible that out of fear of what may happen to further children at the hands of Morgana they have simply abstained. That might be why Eric walks around so stiffly. Certainly the smooching going on during the finale suggests a real tension release and that Eric might just be getting lucky that evening. If this is the case I'm sure we can look forward to more little swimmers frolicking merrily in the future.

Summary: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Brother
Review: DON'T Get this, this is a real stinker. I was a great fan of the little Mermaid. When I was young in fact I practically memorized it, now I'm older and don't like it quite so much, but I can still see that this movie, as a sequel stinks. First of all, I am really tired of these spirited spunky girls, who yell at their mothers, disobey their mothers, and then their mothers say sorry to them! Isn't something wrong here? Second, correct me If I'm wrong but I beliave this Is the same thing that happened in the first Little Mermaid. Oh yes except that Melody wants to go back to the sea instead of out of the sea. Big diffrence. Thirdly, It seems so silly that Ariel and Eric wouldn't just TELL her why she couldn't go to the sea, instead of just telling her she just can't. Fourthly, I HATE most of the new lines, like 'Its too late Mommy!' Isn't that awful? Personally, If I was Ariel, Melody would get some good hard whacks, exactly what is coming to her. There are many more and I could go on and on. But these are the basic reasons.

Summary: Disney Downhill
Review: I use to be really big into Disney. I collect movies that please me, and often there sequels. Disney seems to be running out of ideas and hince forth they bring out sequals. I watched Little Mermaid 2 with my mom, and we both had to litterly glue our selves down because we were so boarded. About the only person that enjoy the movie was a little girl about 2 years old, and even then she was hardly sitting still. I remember when a movie wasn't a musical. Now a days there is a song every 5 seconds. About the only good point to this movie is if you have the first one and you are a collector of this series then buy it. I'd suggest watching it one, on mute with sub titles. Unless of corse you are a big muscial person. The plot is an every day plot, not to mention a reversal plot to the first one.

Summary: Ewww.
Review: Adults are antagonizingly bored, and even children don't like it. The songs are ill-written, the plotline sent from the doldrums, and the voices of characters who are not from the original film are stilted. The songs are overabundant and drawn out to painful lengths. To quote my three year old niece when we were watching the opening of the film: "When are they gonna stop singing? I don't like this movie." From the mouth of babes, eh?

Summary: Washed out.
Review: The story and music were moderately ok for my young ones. What amazed me was the washed out coloring and art work on my 46" digital TV. Especially compared to other cartoon movies that I have on DVD. Story and music get 3 stars, art gets 1 star for an average of 2. Someone needs to start doing movies for kids besides Disney. Maybe they'll try harder.

Summary: The sadest thing to ever happen to the little mermaid!!
Review: I really liked the origional but This movie made me so upset when I saw it. I am glad I rented it instead of buying it. Disney obvioulsy didnt put much effort into making this movie and it shows. The animation looks really crappy and the songs suck really bad. I hated melody, I just felt something weird about her. She acts really fake and sounds really babyish. My best advice is that you should rent it before you buy it because this is a movie that only some people would enjoy.
