Summary: Under The Sea Again!
Review: THis film was a notable sequel to the story of my favorite Hans Christian Anderson tale.The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney Animated film to date. I loved everything about it. And, although the technology for animation has changed, the magic of characters and lyrics and musics is by far the best in this film still. Now, to the sequael. It would make sense that Eric and Ariel have offspring, but what would he or she be like. Well, typically the kids end up being completely unlike their parents. And this is no exception. Melody is curious, adverturous and often doesn't listen. This gets her into trouble. This cause Atlantia and Ariels father King Triton to take action. Why? Who knew Ursela had a sister - that made sense! (Played again, brilliantly by Pat Carrol using a twist on her voice. The story is fun and the music okay. Kids willlike this sequel but it still doesn't hold tha magic of the first that seem to hook adults all over the world. The DVD extras are fun too!

Summary: good for mom/daughter talk
Review: My six-year-old prefers this movie to the original, probably because Melody, who is supposed to be 12, comes across more as a precocious 8-year-old instead of a teenager. My daughter loves seeing Ariel all grown up, talking with Eric in mom-and-dad mode, and being loving and nurturing toward Melody. She and I had a good discussion that even though Melody was mad at her mother, she should have listened to her and that she was almost badly hurt because of her disobedience. Also, the villianess Morgana is closer to a more realistic threat that a young child would face; the deceptive 'friend' who lures her away from her parents with false promises. My daughter will spend hours playing with her Ariel doll, sans fins and in a dress, pretending to have her collect seashells with a dark-haired and ponytailed 'Kelly' doll (pint sized Barbie). Another neat thing is that Jodi Benson, Ariel's voice, has made a couple of albums of Bible songs for children, and my daughter gets a kick out of hearing 'Melody's mom' singing the same lessons she hears at Sunday School and AWANA.

Summary: Worst movie ever
Review: I have never seen such a [bad] movie. THe movie just [stank] their is no other way to explain it...The music was horrible, the animation was the worst, and worst of all it didn't even have the same voices as the first one. I recommend burning this movie.

Summary: Bloody awful.
Review: I really, REALLY dislike this movie! As much as I loved the original and it's wonderful cast of characters, this sequel should never have been made. It's as bad as it gets - from the terrible animation, lifeless character designs, to totally forgetable songs - an embarassment from beginning to end! It just doesn't have that incredible gee-wiz sense of wonder and innocence and dazzle that the original had. I fell in love with the Little Mermaid when I was 18. At the time, it was my favorite movie - I read everything I could about it. Although the creators probably meant well, they should have reconsidered making such a sequel.

Summary: Not as good as the first one....
Review: I thought that this movie could have been better if Ursela's Daughter had a different voice... Melody was cute though. I feel that by shutting her out from her mother's past and where she came from crimped the story quite a bit... The animation is quite an improvement since the RETURN OF JAFAR and DUCKTALES THE MOVIE... But even that could not save this film...

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Little Mermaid II is a great sequel to a wonderful movie. The animation is beautiful, the songs and the score are very well done, and the characters are fresh and original. I know there are a lot of naysayers out there who say that Ariel and Eric are "different" in this movie...well, duh, think about the time frame...they are both in their early 30s and parents of a twelve-year-old. Did you expect them to be the same flippant teenagers they were in the first movie? Now THAT would be disconcerting. **Mild Spoilers Ahead**
I think the parallels to the first film with Ariel acting to Melody as her father acted toward her when SHE was a teen are humorous and well-placed in the film. It doesn't make Ariel BORING, it makes her real...how many kids grow up saying they'll never be like their parents and then, as disturbing as it is, find themselves growing more and more like them every year? As for the plot, I don't think it's anywhere near a "copy" of the original...think about it. In the original, Ariel dreams of going up on land to explore, live life, meet real people with two legs, learn about all the things she's found on sunken ships, etc. and she does with Ursula's help. In LM2, Melody thinks she's a screw-up, a nobody, and she's upset with her parents for NOT letting her go into the sea because she doesn't know about the incident that happened when she was a baby at the beginning of the film when Morgana tries to kill her and Triton gives her that locket. It's more of a mystery to her...when she finds the locket, she needs to know what it means. She does that on her own...she has no intentions of becoming a mermaid until Morgana puts it in her head so the sea witch can get King Triton's trident. Two totally different stories. Anyway, enough rambling. The movie is great. If you are a fan of LM1, Disney, or just good animated films, check out Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea. I have many Disney films on DVD and this is definitely one of my favorites.

Summary: In A Word--- Awful...
Review: Disney has slapped another animated classic in the face once again with this sequel. I LOVE The Little Mermaid and was apalled by Return to the Sea... The script is cheesy and the songs are lackluster and unmemorable. The animation is not on par with the original film, but that's understandable. My biggest gripe, however, lies within the characters: the heroine Melody is made out to be an unruly brat; Ariel has suddenly transformed from the charming, somewhat naive young woman from the first film that we all love into some sort of overbearing housewife; the villain Morgana is nothing but a sad, over-cliched parody of Ursula (whom in my opinion was one of THE best Disney villains ever); even the comic relief side-kicks (Tip and Dash)aren't very funny. If you're a die-hard Little Mermaid fan and absolutely MUST see what happens in this movie, rent it-- don't buy it... Nowadays, it seems that Disney must slap a Roman Numeral II on every single masterpiece they've ever done... why can't they just leave them ALONE!? These bad sequels are ruining the original stories... Even worse, Disney's proved in the past that they CAN make good sequels (Toy Story 2, The Rescuers Down Under), so why did they have to utterly mess up The Little Mermaid II!?

Summary: Bad Bad Bad
Review: The Little Mermaid 2 cannot compete against the first Little mermaid movie. Disney really should not have made a second part. It would have been much more better if it was left alone. This movie lacks the romance that the first Little mermaid had. Eric and Ariel don't seem to be so much in love as in the first movie. Marriage and responsibility seemed to have made them grow distance towards each other. They treat each other as friends rather than husband and wife. Their daughter, Melody is rather really annoying. They should never have made a second part to the Little Mermaid. Nothing can compare to the first one.
